Sherlock Holmes

There's going to be a new Sherlock Holmes movie starring...wait for it...Robert Downey Jr. as Holmes and (drumroll please) Jude Law as Watson. They're trying to bring Holmes back to the books, which they interpret as him being the James Bond of 1891. While I agree that the most popular portrayal of Holmes (Basil Rathbone's) was too detached, too much of an asthete, and that the Holmes of the stories is a sensualist, a drug addict, a brawler, I'm still not seeing the James Bond thing.

I can't decide if this will be amazingly awesome or will suck really hard.

In either case, this has sent me back to my Jeremy Brett DVDs. Oh, "The Empty House." I will never tire of watching you.
