THE MOVIE ACTUALLY LOOKS FUN, BUT THEN I REMEMBER IT'S SUPPOSED TO BE SHERLOCK HOLMES AND MY BRAIN GOES "...BUH?"

XD XD XD

See, because of being born and raised in the UK, I saw pretty much every adaptation of Sherlock Holmes from the cleaned up versions for kiddies to the OTT AND SHERLOCK, LIKE, SHOOTS SMACK INTO HIS EYEBALLS versions, so no matter how cracky this gets, I AM PREPARED.

It's good to see that Watson appears to be having the fact he's actually kind of batshit himself acknowledged for once :D.

Dear god, that looks fantastic. :D

I think the one thing that could possibly make this better is if the bad guy was a NAZI RIDING A DINOSAUR. TRAINED IN KARATE.

I can't actually decide if it would be cooler if it were the dinosaur or the Nazi who was trained in Karate.

I am actually scared now. ** works on having no expectations of quality for this movie really hard.***

[identity profile] emerald-embers.livejournal.com 2009-05-21 01:15 am (UTC)(link)
THINK SNAKES ON A PLANE. I am telling you. This will be SO BAD that it will TRANSCEND BAD and roll right on back into AWESOME.

I am thinking it REAL HARD, but damn the broyay can make up for it.:)

[identity profile] emerald-embers.livejournal.com 2009-05-21 10:42 am (UTC)(link)
I have heard Good Things so far about the broyay - but that said, this is Guy Ritchie, of Snatch and RocknRolla; broyay is a happy guarantee :D.

EPICALLY SHITTY.

I CAN'T WAIT EITHER AZDSGDFGASDGHADFSH I LOVE GOING TO SEE BAD MOVIES. WICKER MAN? SHIT, THAT WAS THE BEST.

When I watched the trailer, my brain literally got stuck and I couldn't formulate words for a full minute. It just didn't know what to do. And then I said, quite eloquently, "What the fuck was that?"

I watched it again, because I'm a masochist, but it still didn't make sense.

[identity profile] emerald-embers.livejournal.com 2009-05-21 10:41 am (UTC)(link)
My brain keeps looping the trailer OVER and OVER and OVER and I am beyond in love with HOW BAD IN AN AWESOME WAY it looks :D!

Em! What does the scanner say about their OOC levels?!

When he jumped out of the window into the river, I waited for the Flipper noise.

[identity profile] emerald-embers.livejournal.com 2009-05-21 10:04 pm (UTC)(link)
I just tried to make that noise.

... I fail.

Oh, my love for this is so very, very pure. Boxing! Stupid sound effects! Irene Adler in a corset! Holmes stealing Watson's clothes! It's like the best crack!fic ever, and this fandom doesn't even do crack!fic.

[identity profile] emerald-embers.livejournal.com 2009-05-21 01:36 pm (UTC)(link)
IT - IT'S LIKE SOMEONE TOLD THE STORY OF SHERLOCK HOLMES TO A TEENAGED BOY WHO'D BEEN SAMPLING HIS GRANNY'S MOONSHINE, ASKED HIM TO WRITE A STORY BASED ON IT FOR CLASS, AND THEN THAT SOMEONE HANDED THE RESULTS TO A DRAG QUEEN FOR REVISION, WHO THEN HANDED IT TO SOMEONE WHO'D TAKEN A VICTORIAN HISTORY CLASS OR TWO WITH THE AIM OF TRYING TO GIVE IT SOMETHING REMOTELY RESEMBLING ACCURACY, AND *THESE ARE THE RESULTS*.

I - I - I have no words :D.

It looks BRILLIANT.

*Dies*

OH GOD, it looks good but then so bad. Why is there slo-motion in a Sherlock Holmes movie? (And why is he in a fight club??)

[identity profile] emerald-embers.livejournal.com 2009-05-21 04:48 pm (UTC)(link)
Naked Jack is NEVER unexpected! :D

It looks so bad it goes all the way around bad and back into AWESOME XD. Slo-mo! Hammer-throwing! Watson bitching like a nagging wife!

Holy mother of geebus.

0_o I don't know whether to say epic fail...or just odd movie. But personally I still wanna go see it :P

....but dear god....watching the muscles in his arm move when he punched that guy....that creeped me out just a bit. Though epicly saved by that last bit:

'Don't worry ma'dam, I am a professional. Under this pillow lies the key to my release.' I died laughing.

[identity profile] emerald-embers.livejournal.com 2009-05-28 12:46 pm (UTC)(link)
XD XD XD

It... it... yeah.

I think it has to be seen. You know, just so we can tell our kids about it in years to come and they'll think we're little old ladies talking rubbish.

"NO SERIOUSLY, WHEN I WAS YOUNGER, WE HAD SHERLOCK HOLMES AND HE PUNCHED SHARKS IN THE FACE WHILE INJECTING HEROIN INTO HIS EYEBALLS AND BONING WATSON. THESE BE TRUE FACTS."

Does it make me shallow that I just want to see it because Mark Strong is going to be in period dress in this film?

[identity profile] emerald-embers.livejournal.com 2009-05-28 12:44 pm (UTC)(link)
It's funny but I had *no* interest in him until he played Archie in Rocknrolla, and now I kind of have a soft spot for him even if I don't fancy him :).

NO IT IS NOT SHALLOW. It is a perfectly valid reason!

[identity profile] rushedpistol.livejournal.com 2009-06-04 04:44 pm (UTC)(link)
Yes! I am still as deep as a kiddie pool then. I started liking him in Body of Lies. I am attracted more to his charisma than to his looks. A good amount of charisma goes a long way with me.

[identity profile] not-cynical.livejournal.com 2009-05-28 01:58 am (UTC)(link)
IF IT WASN'T SUPPOSED TO BE SHERLOCK HOLMES I'D CONSIDER WATCHING IT! AS IT IS, I MAY JUST WAIT FOR THE BITS WITH ROBERT DOWNEY JR NAKED IN TO APPEAR ON YOUTUBE, BECAUSE THAT'S THE ONLY PART I'M INTERESTED IN!

[identity profile] emerald-embers.livejournal.com 2009-05-28 12:43 pm (UTC)(link)
MY BRAIN CAN ONLY COMPUTE IT AS SUCH:

WHAT WHAT WHAT WHAT WHAT WHAT WHAT WHAT WHAT WHAT WHAT WHAT WHAT WHAT WHAT WHAT WHAT WHAT WHAT WHAT WHAT WHAT WHAT WHAT WHAT WHAT WHAT WHAT WHAT WHAT WHAT WHAT WHAT WHAT WHAT WHAT WHAT WHAT WHAT WHAT WHAT WHAT WHAT WHAT WHAT WHAT WHAT WHAT WHAT WHAT WHAT WHAT WHAT WHAT WHAT WHAT WHAT WHAT WHAT WHAT WHAT WHAT WHAT WHAT WHAT WHAT WHAT WHAT WHAT WHAT WHAT WHAT WHAT WHAT WHAT WHAT WHAT WHAT WHAT WHAT WHAT WHAT WHAT WHAT WHAT WHAT WHAT WHAT WHAT WHAT WHAT WHAT WHAT WHAT WHAT WHAT WHAT WHAT WHAT WHAT WHAT WHAT WHAT WHAT WHAT WHAT WHAT WHAT WHAT WHAT WHAT WHAT WHAT WHAT WHAT WHAT WHAT WHAT WHAT WHAT WHAT WHAT WHAT WHAT WHAT WHAT WHAT WHAT WHAT WHAT WHAT WHAT WHAT WHAT WHAT WHAT WHAT WHAT WHAT WHAT WHAT WHAT WHAT WHAT WHAT WHAT WHAT WHAT WHAT WHAT WHAT WHAT WHAT WHAT WHAT WHAT WHAT WHAT WHAT WHAT WHAT WHAT WHAT WHAT WHAT WHAT WHAT WHAT WHAT WHAT WHAT WHAT WHAT WHAT WHAT WHAT WHAT WHAT WHAT WHAT WHAT WHAT WHAT WHAT WHAT WHAT WHAT WHAT WHAT WHAT WHAT WHAT WHAT WHAT WHAT WHAT WHAT WHAT WHAT WHAT WHAT WHAT WHAT WHAT WHAT WHAT WHAT WHAT

AND THEN SHUTS DOWN WITH A TERMINAL ERROR

THUS: WATCHING IT MUST BE DONE, PURELY TO EXPERIENCE THE REBOOT OF MY BRAIN IN FULL CINEMATICAL GLORY
