Sherlock Holmes, Baker Street BADASS
So, uh, yeah, that Sherlock Holmes trailer? WHAT? I actually hope that the movie is a huge success, because maybe it'll encourage Guy Ritchie to turn his hand to other classics of English literature. Can you imagine his Mr. Micawber? "Annual income twenty pounds, annual expenditure nineteen pounds nineteen and six, result happiness. Annual income twenty pounds, annual expenditure twenty pounds ought and six, result you get this GIANT FLAMING TORCH RIGHT UP YOUR BACKSIDE, MATEY."

…at the most. I read about Holmes adventures when I was a kid, and as I remeber him, he was a refined gentleman of quick wit, not huge abs.
On the other hand, I probably considered anyone smoking a pipe to be a refined gentleman.
I look forward to blogging about Guy Ritchie when he tackles Shakespeare's Taming of the Shrew about the courtship of of Petruchio and Madonna, I mean Katherina ..
Or "Bartebly the Scrivener"! Oh, wait, David Fincher already did that with Fight Club. Okay – how about Lock, Stock, and Two Smoking Christmas Carols?
"Wuthering Hype"
Does Robert Downey Junior ever tire of being awesome? If nothing else, he can bring a real honesty to Sherlock Holmes' various opiate addictions.
I thought Holmes was more of a coke man?
I'm pretty sure he liked the ol' opium pipe as well.
I fucking love Robert Downey, Jr. is all I have to contribute here.
Me too. This looks goofy as shit. Must see.
Amen to that. I'd pay to watch him read the phone book.
I just want Watson to be the vet with PTSD he was cut out to be (search Watson here.
Sigh. I will see any piece of garbage Robert Downey Jr. is in, but this looks pretty awful. I think I will just boot up Restoration and watch that instead.
Thanks for the preview, Mr. Balk.
So this is House with British accents?
