I am watching the 2009 Sherlock Holmes movie--no, not the RDJ one, this one. Starring Dominic Keating and Gareth David Lloyd, proving that terrible acting isn't just for Torchwood. It seems to mostly consist of people running unconvincingly through wooded areas.

But you know what the worst thing is? Worse than the T. Rex and mechanical dragon? The fact that Sherlock's brother (named Scott, not Mycroft) keeps calling Sherlock Holmes Robert. The fuck? His name is Sherlock. It's in the title!

Also, in this movie, Buckingham Palace is at the end of a long, deserted, asphalt road.

I watched that too. Because someone said, "oh it's hilarious." And took that to mean, you know, in a good way.

It made me very sad. And to wonder WHY they bothered.

It's just...ROBERT. Why????

Also, I thought GDL was attractive in Torchwood. I don't know what the hell happened, though, cause he's not in this.

Tiny Robert/Sherlock changed his name for dramatic effect? I can't even. And yes, GDL does not even look like Ianto at all. I kept waiting to SEE him onscreen and then I was like, "Oh, he's WATSON. Oh. Uh."

Ah, I see now. This isn't about Sherlock Holmes at all but about some dude named Robert...

Perhaps the most sad is the random Welsh unknown actor playing Lestrade said in the featurette that he loves working with real actors because it raises his game. I was like, oh, honey...no...
