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

*g* I'm going to have to take your word on that one. I have an irrational fear of Michael Caine's hair [it's so straw-like!] so I can't watch it.

It did make me re-watch a few episodes of the old TV series with Jeremy Brett in it though! *sigh* Now that was good Holmes.

Can they say why they think it is a good Holmes movie? The only reason I've seen on the web for people enjoying it, is that it's slashy. Meh. That alone does not a great movie make.
