Guy Ritchie rapes the very nature of Sherlock Holmes, turning him from an intellectual into a brawler to suit the tastes of an action-needy modern audience. Result: Fantastic Fun! I feel ashamed. There's no doubt that this movie was a great deal of fun. It actually deals a lot with Holmes' genius and how it prevents him from fitting in with the "normals" that inhabit his life. Still, it feels wrong watching him engaging in fight after fight with the calculating technique of a trained martial arts master (using a sort of brawling technique). I should also note that the relationship between Watson and Holmes very closely resembles the bro-mance JD and Turk in Scrubs. It is funny, but seems more than a little out of place in Victorian London. News

@alibakes Haywire is a sparse little covert thriller featuring a smooth jazz score. I can't think of anything else to say about it.

@dcorsetto For the record, I'm more grossed out by pooping. And war. War and pooping, mostly.

Twitter ran out of "who to follow" recommendations for me. I should probably turn the Internet off now.
