I went to watch Sherlock Holmes yesterday. It was ridiculously FUN. One of the most enjoyable every minutes of it entertaining pure fluffy entertainment movie I've seen in ages ^_^ Anyway, with the typical delay between the release in France and in the rest of the world, I, err, wouldn't mind getting links for old squee, criticism, recs, fanfics & other fanworks posts of yours (or of others). *makes puppy eyes*

Isn't it fun? It's been a long time since I've gone looking for fic but Sherlock Holmes has me reading away. There's the community [livejournal.com profile] holmeswatson09; I just finished a long story by [livejournal.com profile] paperclipbitch that was excellent; and Kanata has regular recs and reviews that I'm only just starting to dip into.

Enjoy!

That fic by [livejournal.com profile] paperclipbitch was excellent! I'll keep an eye on Kanata's. Thank you so much ♥

YES YES ISNT IT!

I wouldn't mind watching it again right again.
Last time I felt that about a movie was Pirate of the Caribbean XD

Oooh, yes, that's exactly the right comparison! XD

I thought the same, on paper a Sherlock Holmes film done as a Hollywood blockbuster by Guy Ritchie didn't sound that appealing an idea, but somehow it did turn out to be a very entertaining movie. I thought Robert Downey Jr and Jude Law were particularly good in the main roles.

I'm definitely looking forward to the sequel now.

Yeah, it sounded pretty wacky but fun, and I didn't have very high expectation, but it definitely did what it aimed to do perfectly!

Me too!

Like the person above said, I didn't think the movie sounded like it was going to be any good but I was pleasantly surprised. I loved loved loved all the Holmes/Watson banter. I cannot wait to own this on DVD.

I've been posting regular recs for all my reading, and you can find them all tagged, here. Let me know which ones you like--I know some things about your HP sensibilities, will have to learn which things you like and dislike in this fandom.

Well on my taste:
i found "until you cry, now you must try my greed" too unlikely for my taste;
but appreciated muchly the plottiness of the "Adventure of You"
I didn't try out "Softly and Suddenly" because you said it was more based on canon.

I guess there's nothing for it. I gotta stow my Sherlock-snobbery and watch the thing.

Yeah, I'm very much not a Sherlock snob, so I can't compare how it when you have a strong attachment to canon (the version of Sherlock Holmes I'm the most familiar with is the Ghibli version, so); but I've seen several people who are fan of the books like the movie as well. It's definitely more... pulp, but wonderfully so. As I said above, I don't remember enjoying an entertainment movie so much since Pirate of the Carribbean.

Je l'ai aussi adoré !
Un film fait pour les fangirls, d'ailleurs on était pas les seules à glousser dans la salle !
Par contre je ne me suis pas encore plongée dans le fandom.

Le DVD 1 marche parfaitement sur la XBox mais le 2 ne marche ni sur la console, ni sur le PC, tu crois qu'on s'est trompées de disque ?

I quite enjoyed the new Sherlock Holmes too. It was a little different than some of the other Holmes I've seen, but I liked it.

That it was :D but in a good way. Probably necessary to give the franchise its signature, too.
