I tried to do a Sherlock Holmes [chat] many moons ago and was booed off stage.

Still, the Case of the Speckled Band remains awesome.

Elldren

Wheee!

Arivia

That's awesome Elldren.

Just watched the RDJ version again over the weekend. I'm excited for the new one.

It's tough to think of any fictional character as truly iconic as Holmes.

James Bond, maybe. Captain Kirk. Superman and Batman. After that I'm struggling, coming up with dudes like Robin Hood and King Arthur.

That was fantastic. I like how you can tell it's a Hammer movie just from the preview image.

I don't remember killer spiders or knife throwing from the book, but it's been a while. The original probably could have done with more bodice-ripping, though, so it works out in balance. And Peter Cushing looks terrific!

Oh yikes I grabbed the wrong box of oatmeal at the grocery store...this stuff is waaaay too sugary!

And dear lord Elldren that's sort of terrifying.

God some of the people I went to high School with are too dumb to live.

Girl post about needing a tattoo done on a friends wall, says she cant find a tattoo artist anywhere.

To which I replied "Seriously? They grow like wildflowers..."

to which she replied "Yeah but I need to know my tattoo artist"

Like it's important your buddies or something.

I can't wait until her liver is dying from hep c.

Oh hey there hospital, no, it's not okay that you keep saying it's my fault your documents aren't printing through your software. How about you know, do your job. Maybe pick the right god damned printer driver that your software is using and maybe it'll work.

It took me 5 minutes to fix an issue that took them 2 days to troubleshoot... all because I clicked a drop down and selected the appropriate driver in their software. GG.

To be fair, asking another human being to cut open your skin and inject ink into it requires a fair bit of trust.

My first thought on seeing the thread title was "I hope he's included the Hammer House Sherlock movie." Love that version. Best thing Hammer ever did.

Not sure about the Lone Ranger any more. But yeah, probably the other two.

Hahahah I haven't watched Wassup Holmes in a long time but I think it's awesome.

holmes is the only reason people associate deerstalkers and pipes with detectives

the only reason

Tarzan was pretty iconic once upon a time but seems to have fallen away with the end of colonialism. I wonder if there's a way to bring that story back and make it click for 21st century audiences. I don't think anyone's even had a crack at it since Greystoke.

She was implying that she would only get tattooed by someone she knew in her day to day life, for which the reasons you mentioned, would be like me going to my friend Jim to remove that tumor from my spine.

The Disney movie?

Also: I really, truly believe that Jude Law would have caught on as a leading man if he'd had a beard or goatee in more movies. He's a fantastic actor who I really love and who I don't think gets enough credit for some terrific performances (like the hitman in Road to Perdition, or the gigolo-bot in A.I.) but clean-shaven, he looks like a supercilious dick. With a beard, he seems a thousand percent more warm and personable.

It took me half the movie to recognize him in Sherlock Holmes.
