Sherlock: 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?

I'm feeling talkative today.

Jason Issacs would make a kick-ass Sherlock Holmes. Mmm, caustic. Now all I have to do is cast the other characters, steal a script from someone, kidnap a film crew, hijack a studio and bribe, blackmail and otherwise cajole my actors into working for me.

Also, the Scarlet Pimpernel's name is Lord Blakeney. Okay, it's Percy Blakeney and he's got two arms, but still, it seems everyone's favourite midshipman has famous relatives.

I have two seminars tomorrow and have done work for neither of them. Let me see: European law vs the Scarlet Pimpernel...

Maybe the Scarlet Pimpernel can kidnap my lecturer for me. She's French. That would be neat.
