Putting aside your usually trollishness, I'm afraid you're right.

You bothered to dig up a post from a month ago?

No, I clicked on the thread because I am that bored, and that was the next unread post, and I was all "KHARMA MOTHERFUCKER!" so I had to run with it.

I had to check to see who I was calling 'trollish' (BTW it was Neil).

That post was 26 pages ago!  Not posts, but pages of posts.

I saw the new Sherlock Holmes movie. I was hoping for a stupid and fun adventure movie. Unfortunately, it only lived up to the first half of that.

I was looking forward to that one until I saw the trailer and realized they had made just another run of the mill action comedy out of our beloved slightly disturbed detective. At first glance Downey jr seemed like an inspired casting choice but Jude Law just looks ridiculous...

I thought it was great fun.  And I thought their deviations were within the spirit of the books.

I thought most of it was quite enjoyable, except for the overall plot.  It felt so big and overblown, completely unlike early Sherlock Holmes or other Guy Ritchie movies for that matter.  If it would have been toned down I would have liked it a lot more.

I agree.  I disliked the sub-par pseudo-da-Vinci-Code bullshit.  But I saw this as the first film in a series which will, I think lead to something a bit more interesting.  Especially Irene Adler's employer.

For the record, I still haven't watched it but Jude Law is probably far closer to Conan Doyle' idea of Watson than the standard image we have of him. He not only is a military surgeon just returned from campaigning in Afghanistan, he is "as thin as a lath and as brown as a nut", he's a crack shot with his service revolver, athletic (he used to play rugby) and even more, he's the one that gets the girl (The Sign of Four)! Not your average ancient, white haired, chubby, thick-as-a-brick Dr. Watson...

Watson kind of reminds me of Siege.

Forgot to watch Terminator Salvation last night. Probably a good thing.

It was best of the summer action flicks (Transformers/Gi Joe) for what that is worth

I liked Star Trek a lot. But will watch T4 2night. :p

I guess we'll give it credit for being sort of unpleasant, as opposed to being legendarily bad.
