silliness gacked from pipli

The clip is from a German movie about Hitler, so if you understand German you might want to turn down the sound to keep from being distracted from the new subtitles which have been added. (From what I can tell, this clip has been resubtitled a whole bunch of times on every topic under the sun.) This version was lots of fun at nearly two in the morning, though, especially if you've been reading the rants that appear in comment sections throughout the internet every time the subject of the new movie gets raised. (Warning for them that cares: the language is *not* polite.)

And this site: http://www.aceshowbiz.com/movie/sherlock_holmes/ has two stills which haven't hit the official site yet, and I haven't seen elsewhere in their collection. (Not Watson alas...)

Over at Empire Magazine.

Click on the little pictures to see the big versions.

Interestingly, the colors or contrast on the trailer seems different on the US site : http://sherlock-holmes-movie.warnerbros.com/ and the UK site :
http://wwws.warnerbros.co.uk/sherlockholmes/ Which I notice, of course, because Watson's uniform thingy looks more blue on the UK site, even on the same computer.

The internet has its wonders... I just came across a blog aimed at soldiers headed for Afghanistan here and I can't help but wonder how much of that would apply to Watson...

Chai, certainly!

The new Sherlock Holmes trailer has inspired some truly cracky fics, to which I now add my mite, inspired by janeturenne and Jude Law in that uniform thingie (see icon). Slashy, for them that minds... Silly, too.


Per Suit

The brown suit disappears out of the wardrobe on Tuesday, and when it turns up again, it is ensconced in Mrs. Hudson's mending basket where it will stay until she can find matches ( for the one remaining button. )

00:23-24 Looks like Holmes is running down a dark alleyway, but is that figure in the distance Watson? Sure looks like his big comfy coat.

00:39. Someone's tied up hanging by their hands behind that flame. Could be Watson, could be Irene Adler. Hard to tell. Don't think it's Holmes, though.

00:46/47 That blurry profile on the left. Definitely Watson.

( go ahead and laugh while I keep looking... )

Mixed feelings... but on the whole, the glimpses we see of Watson look promising...

yeah, I'm still interested.

And gawd, I want a screencap of Watson in that black uniform thingie that we only get a glimpse of...

( embed under cut, if it works )

The gallery has some pics I haven't seen before. Nice.

I still have mixed feelings, but I think it may turn out tolerable.

Yeah, I'm getting excited about this. Ritchie might have screwed things up, but it really sounds like the two leads got into the books in a big way.

VERY short clip from the Oscar credits, but the longest one I've found.

It looks like Watson, at least, gets a chance to eat onscreen. I wonder if there's any fish with those chips?

I'll also admit to wondering if that's a star halfway down his cane. It seems to be a deliberate mark, whatever it is, because it's in another shot too. (Along with the brown suit.)

Still no sign of whatever coat was going to go with the dark trousers we saw in the first shots of him though!

I really need to do another google news sweep and see what pictures I can find.

ETA as I find them:

One of the actress playing Irene Adler in this bunch. http://www.celebuzz.com/sherlock-holmes-does-brooklyn-s76701/
and another, with more of her dress:
http://www.hellomagazine.ca/news/20090109514/rachel/mcadams/sherlock/holmes/1/

Another scruffy Holmes shot: http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/showbiz/bizarre/article2145053.ece

And another Holmes shot, which I include because I don't know whether to hope those are costume trousers or desperately hope that they aren't.

Watson has more than one suit! http://www.celebuzz.com/search/jude%20law/photos/32285561/?p=8

and especially http://www.thebadandugly.com/2008/11/20/more-sherlock-holmes-set-pics/


Always a useful link: http://justjared.buzznet.com/tags/jude-law/
and http://www.thebadandugly.com/?s=sherlock+holmes&button=Search has some odd things in there too, but very nice pics

shot with blue suit back and side by itself.

nice full length shot with overcoatcoat and hat

similar, but not full length.


two more. It's definitely the hat, I think, that makes him cute. And the top shot looks like "now where have you vanished to, Holmes?"

And because doing this kind of search on the web is dangerous...
RDJ needs a lesson in proper pipe etiquette. Elaborated (and ruder) version.

RDJ is tiny!

article and gallery little pictures, but several of them, and one is a good shot of the side/back of Watson's coat




older things I hadn't linked yet

RDJ

seen the Watsons, one I didn't see before of Holmes.

boat chase

Okay, Google's hosting a bunch of pictures from Life magazine -- but they've also got bunches of the Sidney Paget illustrations from Sherlock Holmes, and you can make the images really really big!

*drool*

Over here!

Oooooh... pretty!

I'm not sure how I feel about Robert Downey Jr. playing Sherlock Holmes in the upcoming movie. But I am rapidly becoming adapted to the idea of Jude Law as Watson.

Oh, yes, indeed.

Definitely.

And to cap my day, metaquotes had great quote about the doctor and his friend. (The original post it links to is good too, it just isn't mostly about Sherlock Holmes Watson.)

Who me? A Watson fan? Whatever gave you that idea?

There's a tin dispatch box... like the one Watson mentions... down near the bottom of this page.

http://www.eastbourneauction.com/Catalogue/linkweb/A130505/page5.htm
Lot 511: Painted Victorian tin dispatch box by Allybhoy Vullijee & Sons - Mooltan with fitted interior, 49cm long £20.00 -30.00

Not to mention all the other neat Victorian toys.

Gah!

Edit: Okay, I want the tin box, and the sword stick, and the violin with the label that says Stradiuari and...

I'm not even in the right country! Aaaaaggghhh!

Oh, mah guh...

On an impulse I ordered the Russian Sherlock Holmes, since they've put it out with English subtitles, and I'm dying...

First of all, that is absolutely the cutest Watson I have ever seen. And second of all, well, let's just say that I'm going to have to watch these in small batches because I've already laughed myself into an asthma fit and Watson's only just moving into Baker Street!

ETA: The one I'm working my way through can be bought here, and I have to say I was very pleased with how quickly my order was processed and sent.

http://www.gutenberg.org/etext/14681

A very old travellers advice book, which I think is going to become one of my favorite references for fantasy travel into wild country, despite its archaic attitudes. Well, maybe because of them. I keep reading and reading and trying to get my eyebrows down from out of my hair as I goggle at the next outrageous example of ethnocentrism or sexism.

But it does make me want to play Castle Falkenstein again...
