This is great news!  He was amazing in Sherlock and it is great to see him getting more mainstream work.

I quite agree. The BBC Sherlock Holmes is FAR more credible and more interesting to watch than the shitty-ass Robert Downey the fabric softener bear movies.

Fabric softener bear?

Don't remember Downy the...? oh wait, that was snuggles. My bad.

You mean besides the fact that they are generic action movies and the character in them has nothing to do with Sherlock Holmes and RDjr is playing Tony Stark in the 1880s instead?  Nothing.

Normally I wouldn't say this, but they practically marketed both of those as Juvenile sex comedies. That is NOT Sherlock Holmes. Sherlock Holmes has more to do with Sherlock Holmes being a very complicated person whom you can never figure out and the mystery. That is what Sherlock Holmes is about, it's not about pandering to the lowest common denominator. I could tolerate it in the Transformers movies because hey, the concept doesn't really have much of an intellectual element to it, but when it comes to the works of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, I honestly think he'd be disgusted by what Hollywood did, and proud of what the BBC did.

yeah it's funny because i thought I would love the period based movie version and hate the modern version but it ended up not working out that was.  The series set in modern times captures the spirit of the character,the movie set in the correct period has nothing to do with the character that was created by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle.  The interesting thing is that they are both telling new stories instead of sticking to the books but the one has Sherlock Holmes in it and the other doesn't.

im a big fan of sherlock holmes and though i agree these are far from true to his character from the stories, they are still enjoyable movies. and as for what ACD would like,.. well the guy was a jerk and somewhat foolish of a person so i dont hold him in too high esteem. i do hold his works in high esteem though.

[anais.jude]

I thought the first Downey Sherlock was convulted and boring. I found the second enjoyable.


I have read many of the stories.


Anyway....just tyring to waste time until I can go home for the day

If the tales are true, Doyle didn't actually give a crap about the Holmes character as anything other than a paycheck generator.

basically. he had to bring him back after the wrestle with moriarty above the waterfalls because the public wanted more, he initially killed off holmes so he could focus on his historical books.

[a pretty girl is like]

so who do you think will play picard in the inevitable tng movie reboot?

When we're talking reboots of any kind, for the next ten years, the immediate answer to Who Should Play the Lead Character? is always going to be Hugh Jackman.  Always.  TNG = Hugh Jackman.  Tomb Raider = Hugh Jackman.  James Bond = Hugh Jackman.  He-Man = Hugh Jackman.  Dirty Dancing = Hugh Jackman.  Indiana Jones = Hugh Jackman.  Erin Brockovich = Hugh Jackman.  Etc. and so on and so forth and ampersand and ampersand.
