Pretty ruddy bloody good, actually
The new Sherlock Holmes film is excellent, in case you're looking for inspiration for an evening's entertainment. Box of popcorn with hole in the bottom and gullible woman not supplied.

How the devil are you?

I know it's meant to be alright, but would you seriously describe it as excellent?
I'm considering watching 'The Guard' before going out tonight.

Never less than thoroughly entertaining
and there's one sequence which is genuinely stunning. The ending will be apparent to anyone with a passing familiarity with the books after about ten minutes, but as far as this sort of fare goes it's top-notch.

Let me guess, Reichenbach?

Spot on
Only a fleeting reference but enough to determine how it concludes. Nonetheless the execution is excellent. Bret Hart would be proud.

Yep, I can guess what happens at the end then
Is it true to the book after Reichenbach as well?

Nice reference, btw.

Not telling you. But it's Hollywood

Meh, still breathing.
I muchly enjoyed troll hunter.

Still breathing? In Glasgow?
That knocks anything I hope to achieve today into a cocked hat.

Have heard good things about Troll Hunter but all second hand, I'll stick it on the list. Cheers.

I'm honestly very fond of Glasgow, looking forward to seeing the city again later this year.

The first one was dreadful.

( Fucking hell Jeff I am not a robot, Thu 26 Jan 2012, 9:37, Reply)

That's a bit harsh.
It had a couple of decent moments. Although now I've said that, I struggle to remember what they are. I do remember thinking 'Oh, actually I didn't hate that'.

Not a patch on the new TV version anyway though.

It was OK
TV series as you say was much better though

Very different beasts
Well, in terms of budget, at least. I agree though, the series was magnificent.
(Darth Foxtrot A one-man army dedicated to making fetch happen, Thu 26 Jan 2012, 9:43, Reply)

I did say to a friend
'You can't really compare the film and the show, they are totally different' and he, quite rightly, pointed out that 'they are both versions of Sherlock Holmes, what's not to compare?'

I didn't really have an answer.

One is English, with English actors
The other is English-American, with American actors, one of whom is an ex-wrestler.
( Agnostic Antichrist Baltimora, Thu 26 Jan 2012, 9:47, Reply)

With American actors
except all the ones that are English. Which is most of them.
( Kroney, Thu 26 Jan 2012, 9:49, Reply)

Just checked, turns out there's only 1 american actor in it, the others with stupid accents are Canadian.
I was simply looking to give him an excuse though, tbh.
( Agnostic Antichrist Baltimora, Thu 26 Jan 2012, 9:51, Reply)

A surprising amount of actors are Canadian
I learned this from the ex. Who pointed it out every. single. time.

In her defence she was Canadian, as opposed to being *just* a dullard.

I'm fairly sure that rumour about Stephen Fry being Kendo Nagasaki was proved untrue.

I like the bits when he thinks about fighting and then does some fighting.
