More Russian Holmes babbling

This is mostly an excuse to use one of my new icons XD

But! I wrote more braindump about the Russian Holmes movies. This time, it's the Acquaintance (Study in Scarlet/Speckled Band), Bloody Inscription (Study in Scarlet), and King of Blackmailers (Charles Augustus Milverton) movies.

I'm not going to go into as much detail about these as I did about The Final Problem/Empty House movies, but I will give you short plot overviews and highlights (that is, scenes I loved XD). All of these movies have at least one or two things that are utterly brilliant, on top of being just generally good adaptations of the stories.


( Adorable! )

Coraline

_melisande_, you were right! The new Coraline movie doesn't have Tim Burton involved, just the director of Nightmare Before Christmas. It is stop-motion, though :) I saw a preview for a video game based on it, and I was afraid for a minute that the movie was CG animation and I hadn't noticed *laughs*

Holmes Paget icons

I finally made enough icons out of the Paget drawing bases I made to put up a batch :3
