Quick post of epic squee

We saw Star Trek tonight, and OMFG I DON'T THINK I CAN CONTAIN THE HAPPY. *splodes* It was that good. For me. Yes. There will be coherence later, probably.

And because this post is an entirely hate-and-cynicism-free-zone, I also just saw a trailer on apocalypsos's journal for the upcoming Robert-Downey-Jr-Holmes movie, and AHAHAHA IT'S GOING TO BE SO MUCH FUN. Mysticism! Holmes in sarcasm-mode! Watson going "And you keep stealing my clothes!" XD I have to wait until Christmas for this? Come on!

Also, can they make more Star Trek movies with these actors now plz? Their chemistry = MAJOR WIN.

I think I've used up my capslock allotment for the next three years. Time for bed!

I hope you like it! I think you will XD It was really wonderful.

I get really put down by the negativity in regards to the new Holmes movie. For heaven's sake, it's not supposed to be (ever going to be) perfect canon. Just enjoy it for what it is O_o And if that kind of movie isn't your thing, okay, that's entirely understandable - but Without a Clue was far from canon and everyone seems to think that's okay.

I suppose, if I can go that far, that it's sort of the...commercial Holmes movie of this day and age? Which might be the reason why some parts of the fandom are feeling nervous.

But then again, with all due respect, Basil Rathbone's movies had all kinds of silly business as well (Watson being made to seem stupid being the worst, but one also had Holmes encouraging people to buy warbonds, or some such...=3=;). And that's okay as well even thought it's given a lot of people the wrong impression, but what can you do..., since it's just...a reflection of that time and how movies were made, I suppose.
or I might just be spouting nonsense, sorry. :'D

I'm not a fan of the Rathbone movies, so you don't have to worry ;) I've seen several, and they were... fine, but I wasn't stunned. I was mostly saddened by Watson's dumb-down-ification. I think you're right about the commercial thing - it's very true that they're attempting a crowd-pleaser with this movie, a "Holmes for the modern generation!" Which isn't going to be the Holmes I know and love, but I still think it'll be enjoyable.

Good to know. ^_^
*nod* And that's it exactly. There's room for interpretations like that as well. :)
