froodleSherlock: Case of Evil is green. Seriously. Everything in that film is green.
Sherlock, Mycroft, Moriarty and the token strumpet all wear green. Holmes's rooms in Baker Street are green. What I'll assume is the Diogenes club (where Mycroft hangs out) is green.
This can mean one of three things:
1) Holmes is, in fact, a leprechaun, and all his adventures take place in a magical leprechaun world
2) It's part of an evil scheme by Moriaty, the significance of which is to be revealed in the sequel, Sherlock: Case of Naughty Spankin's (which I will look forward to immensely, if only for Richard E. Grant)
3) The film-makers had a serious fetish for the colour green, which leads me to suspect that they themselves are leprechauns and that 1) is also correct. Damn those leprechauns.
And, on the subject of Richard E. Grant, who the hell chose him to play Mycroft? I like Mycroft. I like Richard E. Grant. But the combination leads to bizarre thoughts about Mycroft being the Scarlet Pimpernel, which is hilarious but terrifying at the same time.
I mean, can you imagine Mycroft Holmes being dashing?

"No, he's sitting in his armchair, the fat, lazy bastard."

stupid irish. It's not 1798 anymore!
also: yes on proposition 24: i.e. the leprechauns.
Re: Mm, Mycroft...
Date: 2004-04-21 02:22 pm (UTC)Don't worry about the ducks, I've got a feeling certain wrong-faced, yellow-skinned beings known as the Chinese will put a stop to their foolishness.
You know, in my heart I knew I was right about the leprechauns. I just wanted to see Richard E. Grant give James D'Arcy a spankin'. Now I never will. Le sigh.
