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

holmeswatson09; I just finished a long story by

paperclipbitch that was excellent; and Kanata has regular recs and reviews that I'm only just starting to dip into.

Enjoy!

Heh, I just saw it today! It was crazy and ridiculous and awesome. =D

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.

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.

That fic by

paperclipbitch was excellent! I'll keep an eye on Kanata's. Thank you so much ♥

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.

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

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

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!

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

Yeah, the dialogues were pretty much win! I might get the dvd as well ^^

Woot, yay tags!

I don't have Sherlock Holmes sensibilities yet, will tell you when I develop them XD

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.

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.

haha, c'est clair qu'il est vachement slashy ^^ et en plus j'adore Robert Downey jr & Jude Law. Les filles est chouettes aussi ^^

Ca marche toujours pour samedi?

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

Vi ! ^^

J'ai juste à acheter les DVDs multi-couches cet aprèm et je suis parée (bon, faut pas que j'oublie Cordelia non plus...).
Au fait, tu veux que je te prête un livre ? J'ai une bonne et belle collection de romans slash... (Non, parce que j'ai l'impression de profiter, je veux dire, je viens chez toi, je te fais graver les Utena et en plus je te pique des bouquins ? ^^;)

Si tu as des romans que tu penses suceptibles de me plaire, bien sur que je suis prenneuse ^^

Par contre tu pourrais plutot venir à 15h? Je viens tout juste de me réveiller... >_>;;

Désolée pour les romans, ce sera la prochaine fois. ^^
De toutes façons il serait temps que je te remercie pour tous les prêts.

C'est ma faute pour avoir répondu trop tard :) et cool :)

Au fait, les DVDs, ils marchent chez toi?

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 ?

Je vérifie!

Mouais, je sais pas trop. Mon lecteur ne lit rien sur le DVD on top of the pile.

Ben ni l'un ni l'autre des deux PC de la maison ne voit quoi que ce soit sur le disque...

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.
