Also a headbanger: The final page of today's Tsubasa installment.

Pop culture has been hurling shit at me all day today.

Sherlock Holmes

[aster-dw.livejournal.com]

As ladykleo can confirm, I just collapsed in a fit of uncontrollable hysterical laughter when I saw that trailer. It was just so phenominally bizzarre that I couldn't quite figure out what I had just seen (certainly not a Sherlock Holmes film by the look of it!).

Mind you, this is coming from a person who was a MASSIVE SH fan when as a teenager. And by MASSIVE I mean obsessed to a completely unreasonable degree. However, I might still see the film just for the sheer laughable badness factor.

Confirmated! I mean, confirmed. (Sorry for the GP.net joke).

Seriously, I wasn't that big fan of SH books myself, but I read most of them (and re-read some not so long ago). I was unable to understand what was going on in that trailer as well. And the final choice of scenes was just hilarious.

Holmes kisses a girl.
Watson shouts: "Hoooooolmes!!!" (which sounded like "Nooooo!")

Oh wow, I didn't even notice that! (Sorry, was too busy headdesking.)

Oh, I'm definitely going to see it too.

Personally, though, I have a much higher tolerance for so-bad-it's-good stuff, when said stuff does not involve pissing all over the legacy of something that's actually good.

...Now I'm afraid of what TRC has in store for me once the scanlations appear.

I KNOW. The SH movie looks like pure crack on a stick. Jude Law's lip sweater! RDJ kisses girls and outrages the maid! Stupid occult plots!

I am suddenly, irrationally excited to see it, just because it will just be so out there.

At this point, I'm actually kind of hoping that they throw aliens into the mix too, just to make the WTFery complete.

You read my post about the trailer, I assume?

Wake me when my Jeremy Brett box set arrives.

Of course, they had to pick an occult plot.


I've had a bit of an issue with occult plots ever since Indiana Jones and we're-so-desperate-to-cash-in-on-a-sequel-that-we'll-resort-to-magical-alien-skulls. I found it a huge disappointment compared to the earlier movies (except for Temple of Doom, of course... I wonder why they couldn't have found a plot somewhat similar to Raiders of the Lost Ark or The Last Crusade).


That being said, I'm still probably going to go see it, if only for that "Madam... beneath this pillow lies the key to my release" moment. *grin*

I really don't know what to make of the Sherlock Holmes movie...or perhaps I should say "the movie calling itself Sherlock Holmes. There were a couple of genuinely funny moments in the trailer, but... undead? WTF? And how can something be both technically right and so very wrong at the same time? Because that trailer was that, in spades. Other than the undead, I can't point to anything and say "that, that is wrong" and yet, the whole trailer is wrong, wrong, wrong.

*sigh*

Yeah, saw this new months ago and after seeing the trailer I hurled in my mouth a little more.
Holmes for the Xbox generation I suppose--Doyle is rolling in his grave.

That Sherlock Holmes movie is going to suck.
