This Calls for the Willhelm Scream
I just watched the trailer for the new Sherlock Holmes movie and I can't decide if it's awesome or horrible. (The title of this post comes from the song by Possible Oscar.)

Actually, it may be closer than you think. The Sherlock Holmes of literature was something of a degenerate badass. It's been forever since I read them, but he was a renowned pugalist and on dangerous cases he always made sure that Watson had his gun. Not to mention the cocaine addiction and the fact that he did some rather insane things simply because he was bored. Remember that the Basil Rathbone movies tended to be heavily sanitized. My hope is that they just took all the exciting action scenes and packed them into the trailer to make it look like an action adventure movie to draw in the masses.

All that being said, yeah, I'm probably going to see it.

I recall one story ending with Holmes bored again and reaching for the cocaine bottle. Obviously, the man should be played by Johnny Depp. ;')
