froodleWell, the internet decided to crash while I was writing this, so you're getting the abridged version. Serves me right for looking at the Hot Topic website, I suppose (although they do have Sad Sam dolls).
Anyway, news in brief: saw the Sherlock Holmes movie on Crime Plus, guy playing everyone's favourite Napoleon of Crime looked like Gomez Addams, Holmes was fat (nearly pissed myself when he climbed the drainpipe chasing the snake-charmer dude), Watson was a drunk and Mycroft resembled my A Level law lecturer. Also, the safe-cracking guy was the same guy who playing Fumier in the Richard E. Grant version of the Scarlet Pimpernel. Needless to say, I was morbidly intrigued and will be watching the next one a week today.
Casting issues aside, it wasn't bad. Holmes was a bit of a drama queen with the heroin-injecting, but then, as Johnny pointed out, when hasn't Holmes been a drama queen?
Incidentally, the general opinion is that the Scarlet Pimpernel could take Holmes in a fight, though as Selina said, chances are good that Sherlock would suss the Pimpernel's plans and sneak off by a back route. Still, in a straight fight, the Pimpernel would totally win, because he's a dude.
Also, not to be insensitive, but this amused me. Sex acts and stuffed animals, indeed. That's how I want to go.
And finally, this is for Hex, who doesn't have a hand fetish. At all.
