I am currently in the cinema to see sherlock holmes and in through the doors we go to be greeted by twilight fans screaming and shaking in anticipation.
I would really like to hit them into shape but trying hard not too. Maybe if i shut my eyes they will go away.

That man was the best bit of casting since David Rappaport got the part of Randall in Time Bandits.

I do have a soft spot for Poirot, though, I must admit.

I watch "Jeeves and Wooster" because I like the art deco props, there's a large mirror they use in lots of different scenes. Jeeves uses a tea set that my grandparents had as well.

i'm trying to think of the character who looks like Captain Hook :D
Edit - i'm getting my monarchs mixed up, who did you say you looked like? Captain Hook looked like Charles II.

go on then, which character are you? I assume it's not Jeeves or Wooster or the guy who collects newts.

*runs off in the direction of Cineworld* I have my duty to good cinematography and decent literature to do.

not an excuse. However, faced with hordes of 13 year old Twilight fans squealing, can you honestly say you'd not pull the trigger?

Despite the Guy Ritchie treatment it is quite good.

- definitely want to see it more than Avatar. And I'd rather stick needles down my fingernails than see Twilight...

Avatar - not remotely bothered, Sherlock Holmes - interested to see just how badly that jumped up mockney helmet can make one of the best literary creations of all time.

My favourite when asked if I want to see it is "I'd rather swallow razor wire, pull one end out of my arse and floss myself to death" what I nicked off Zero Punctuation.
Is now a bad time to admit I've never read any of the Sherlock Holmes books?

I suggest staying well away from the books until you've seen Ritchie's effort. No point in spoiling both, I reckon.
But do read them, they are superb. You can learn a great deal about the Victorian mindset from them, too: how science replaced religion as the 'all powerful': The idea of evidence, proof etc and how by applying logic and science you can achieve anything.
All the more interesting when you consider that Arthur Conan Doyle completely turned his back on that way of thinking in later life and was a leading exponent of seances, etc. The dopey twat.

Of course being a 12a I had high pitched cunts next to me shouting or flopping their hair every 5 fucking seconds. Still could be worse i could have pooed my pants.
