It's the brain. And maybe the emotional unavailability.
I maybe have some issues with my choices in men.
I feel this. HARD. Though I don't really find Sherlock attractive per se. Maybe a little.
t thinks about Jonny Lee Miller's iteration of Sherlock
Damn it.
I was amazed at how completely unattractive he was in August Osage County.
What did you think of that movie? I meant to see it, because the previews made it look, essentially, like Hello Steph Here Is Your Family On The Screen Embrace The Dysfunction. (And I, of course, eat that shit up. I love seeing other dysfunctional families, even if they're fictional.)
Vortex made me laugh.
I love BC's Sherlock, but that's as much about loving Freeman's Watson and the way they play off each other.
And I've read that either Gatniss or Moffatt has said that a lot of Watson's lines get cut because Martin Freeman will say (or has said) "I can do that with a look" so they just let him.
William Hartnell used to say that all the time when he was playing Doctor Who. Of course, in his case it was because he kept forgetting the lines.
Oh yes, Freeman was the real revelation of Sherlock. I always kind of liked him before, but he is doing great work. So detailed and pretty subtle stuff.
I'm just down the 405....
It's the hair.
It's the brain. And maybe the emotional unavailability.
I can see where it could get confusing there omnis, but not so much the emotionally unavailable part. Must be another BC.
Ugh, Hil, those are not good choices.
I meant to see it, because the previews made it look, essentially, like Hello Steph Here Is Your Family On The Screen Embrace The Dysfunction.
Oh, this is why I did NOT see it! I knew I'd come out of the movie furious and probably crying. Yes, I still have issues.

Exactly this. I don't think I'd enjoy it as much if Freeman weren't playing Watson. The 'Batch isn't that interesting to me by himself.
I think the BBC Sherlock is too nasty, especially in an unthinking way. The original Holmes was fairly anti-social, but he was courteous and aware of other people. Plus the BBC's Moriarty is an active turn-off.
I think it was Steph who pointed out that the BBC Moriarty sucks and the Elementary Moriarty is a win, but then again the BBC Mycroft is great and Elementary Mycroft is a dud. So I guess with the secondary characters it's a toss-up.
So who's written the great Holmes mashup of everybody fic? I picture RDJ's Holmes punching people a lot. And Jude Law's Watson stabbing people--though Freeman's Watson could be shooting people, I don't object to that.
