The cat is asleep on my ankle. I see pins and needles in my future.

I don't think anyone does but...Today has been declared lurker amnesty day! Have you read me but never commented? Do you surf by occasionally? Here for the fic recs? Say hello! You are under no obligation to ever comment or delurk again, but here's a chance to do so in a post just half for that.


Also I think I finally have an unpopular fandom opinion \o/ 

Here it is: Sherlock Holmes is a god-awful movie. You know that generally I love bad movies - I say YES to giant killer bunny rabbits! YES to mutant shep on the rampage. YES to giant chicken feet of doom!* - but this wasn't even one of the so bad its good kind of films. It was just bad. Let me prove it to you [very very briefly]:

• This is not a Holmes movie. It's a generic action blockbuster shoved into a period setting
• Jude Law's forehead is terrifying

That said, I only lasted 35 minutes! Maybe it gets better after that?  Doubt it :P

OHGODILOVEYOU. I thought I'd be alone in this forever.

Hahaha. You hated it too? *HIGH FIVE*

If it helps, all my RL friends thought it was crapola and none of us have made it to the end! Why did you not like it?

Well, aside from everything else, it was so bloody preposterous! I mean, I get that Sherlock Holmes was always verging on the edge of the ridiculous but, honestly. I think I'm just a bit of a Holmes purist! Like you said, though, it was just an action film with pretty, slashy boys in it, under the guise of something great. Did not like it, at all. It dragged awfully, too, I can see why none of you have lasted the distance!
