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

I'd rather pour battery acid down my japs-eye 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.

If I had a japseye I'd rather do that than see Twilight.
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?

Ha
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.
