Even though they've probably existed for as long as Sherlock Holmes has, I'm pretty sure that every time the movie Sherlock Holmes plays, 100 slash fics spontaneously come into being. They don't get written, they just suddenly exist.

In other words, it was awesome, and you should all see it. I love it when men love each other (platonically, I'm sure) but won't say so, because they are men. Also, Holmes and Watson are 12. Also also, I have a real thing for big reveals, when someone explains the whole elaborate plot, as well as the person doing the revealing. Because it's SCIENCE!

One gripe though: I knew, as soon as Rachel McAdams walked on the screen, that she was going to need saving at some point in the movie, despite the fact that she's a badass, and a successful theif, and carries a knife. And I was right. Because women, no matter how cool, always need saving eventually. Blech.

Finally, Janeea and I kept drawing parallels between this movie and Firefly. Right down to the music. This is not a bad thing.

Conclusion: I have the hots for Sherlock Holmes. Always have. Right back to my childhood, with Basil, the Great Mouse Detective. (Who isn't actually Sherlock Holmes, but is close enough). But I haven't really ever read one of his stories. I should get on that.

 

HOLY SHIT THE DARK KNIGHT WAS AWESOME. GO SEE IT.

Do you know how many times I jumped, gasped, grabbed Janeea, chewed my hands, held my breath, or some combination of the above? A lot, and that's the mark of a truly great movie.

Some thoughts, in no real order. Cut for spoilers.

Once again, I wish to declare my undying love for Drake and Josh.

Drake & Josh: *win contest*
Drake: I'm so excited! I have to kiss someone! *grabs random girl and kisses her*
Girl: What was that for?
Drake: I won a contest.
Girl: Yay. *grabs Drake and kisses him again*
Josh: *kisses random girl* I won a contest!
Girl: *in male voice* Congratulations man.


Employment man: What do you do?
Drake: I date girls and play guitar.


Also, my first babble:

To all the people who told me to go see Iron Man, because I would like it:


You were right. It was SO GOOD.



Also, this:

Iron Man: *flies up really high and gets all icy, falls, recovers*
Me: Well, that was pointless.
Janeea: He just wanted to see how high he could get before he died. Like Jimmy Hendrix.

Neea and I are going to see Iron Man tonight at 7:30, meeting at 7:00.


If I didn't call you but you want to come, call me and join us!

Just for the record, I spent the last two nights turning pages for Janeea during the production of Nunsense that she was musical director for, and it was amazing. The girls were amazing, the singing was amazing, Janeea is amazing, there was amazingness all around. Oh, and Emily, who I barely know, but am in love with. :)

And that is a really funny show, let me tell you.



Also, since it's technically Easter now, a word about that.

I have been looking forward to a hollow chocolate bunny for about a month now. I get one every year for Easter. You might think that I'd prefer a solid chocolate rabbit (there's more chocolate involved, after all) but no. There's nothing quite as satisfying as biting into the ears of a hollow rabbit and feeling it sort of...pop.


Yeah. I'm weird. But it's late and I'm a little loopy, so, meh.

So now that I have see Once on This Island twice, I can post some thoughts about it.

I liked and disliked a lot of little things about it, but overall I enjoyed watching it, and it was very well done.
