Excellent, I killed the movie thread. This is what I get for avoiding weekend crowds at the theatre? Wah!
So while we're not talking about Verbs, or anything at all, I rewatched the Ritchie Sherlock movies instead of catching up on Batman. Which then prompted me to look for BBC's Sherlock, and finally am watching season 2. Again, I am struck by how Ritchie's Sherlock is instantly besotted with Watson, can't live without him, and all the love and brangst, and Watson's (not so) secret joy of Holmes. And then we have Moffatt's Holmes, who is cold and I'm halfway through Scandal in Belgravia and have yet to note any respect or warmth towards Watson at all, despite Watson' initial hero worship (and even that is gone by now).
I loved the line in the 2nd Ritchie Holmes, when Moriarty asks how the wedding was, and Holmes says "Definitive." That certainly says Holmes was mulling over a response at "Is there anyone who objects?" And for a bit, Watson believed Holmes could have killed his wife. A lot of passion there.
BBC Sherlock is a lot more self-centered. Doyle's Holmes cared about Watson. When Watson was shot, Holmes nearly went very medieval on the shooter.
Bwah! I just encountered this TDKR spoilery comment on tumblr:
I want to extend a huge congratulations to Cillian Murphy for successfully navigating his way through a Christopher Nolan movie in which a bag is never over his head
::golf claps::
At the end of TDKR was it your assumption that
Blake was walking into the Wayne Manor batcave,
or somewhere different? I was assuming it was new, because the old one wasn't appropriate (or secure) anymore. And it also seemed tidy, for
Blake to have his own underground...forge/home, like Batman and Bane had,
And, at least the first time round, my brain insisted that it was a
flock of *robins* that flapped around his head
which I'm sure makes no zoological sense.
I assumed it was the old one.
Me too.
The sound at my viewing was also turned up to 11 and made the dialogue difficult to hear.
I assumed it was the old one, too. (Tim's comment was "I sure hope Batman
sealed up the entrance to the cave from the manor, because otherwise, some orphan living there is going to find it within 12 hours."
Because I am dense, I asked, "Wait...why?" And he said,
"Don't you have a brother? Was he known for NOT exploring places that were off-limits to him?"
Fair point.)
Totally did not occur to me that it was the old one. Seems I was alone in that. The latitude indicated wasn't very high, though. Seemed
a little warm for the snow we saw.
