Aw we didn't get the Hunger Games trailer.
Yeah, Bane was hard to understand. Something mumble mumble die mumble.
Angel: I appreciate you guys looking out for Connor all summer. It's just—he's confused. He needs time. That's all. Fred: Right. Time, and some corporal punishment with a large heavy mallet. Not that I'm bitter.

I do love a good football field implosion.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I didn't know I wanted that until I saw it, but now I'm convinced it should happen more often.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Seriously.
I may have liked this Holmes movie more than the first one. IIRC, the first one basically made no sense at all at the end, right? Anyway, I definitely liked it, and definitely thought of Steph.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I thought the first one was more mysterious, and had the benefit of being surprisingly funny and exciting, whereas with this one, a bar had already been set.
So I get when people are wondering where the sort of genius Holmes they're used to has gone, because this Holmes doesn't really demonstrate much long game (not that he's dumb--just that all the brilliance is about things happening in the short term).
However, I do adore the competence of Watson, both physically and mentally. I will always sideeye people who defend the Rathbone Holmes *too* much, just because he was such a buffoon.
Also! Stephen Fry! (Whose character apparently needs to have the benefits of heterosexuality explained to him, despite also being a genius)

Oh yeah, I loved Watson's competence. But I do see what you're saying.

Anyway, I definitely liked it, and definitely thought of Steph.
Right on!

Will Rock of Ages feature Tom Cruise not taking himself seriously? I don't know anything about the story, or how straight it's played.
