Essentially (personally) banned from my basement, as my brother is watching Season 2 of Sherlock, as Mith knows well. I’d be down there, but I missed last week’s episode, and I’d rather just catch it all later. And I caught Yes Minister.

a-hard-days-night-ringo-8 BTW SunKing did you know they’re making a version of Sherlock Holmes in US named Elemental with Jonny Lee Miller, who costars with Benedict Cumberbatch (aka my boyfrienda-hard-days-night-john-6) a play about Frankstein in London???

 

That’s insane. There’s already an American version of Sherlock Holmes and John Watson.

I did not know that Mith. Thanks. And I already despise the idea; anything with Holmes is risky. But, Sherlock pulls it off because it wasn’t intending to be realistic, but the actor who plays Holmes is so perfectly Holmes. But Holmes in New York?!?!? What’s the case – finding out who caused zero bankers to have jail time? Actually, I think they’d need Sherlock and Mycroft for that one.
(And Mith, House is the perfect modern day Holmes. Arrogant, but usually right. I wonder when I reread the Homes stories what made Watson keep coming back – Holmes could say the worst crap to Watson. Oh well.)

a-hard-days-night-ringo-8 I know. That’s why I loved House, because it’s a perfect adaptation of Holmes.

 

And honestly, I think what it works from Sherlock is that a. the writing is excellent even if the stories are a bit unrealistic. b. Cumberbatch plays Sherlock as a bastard…and yet you love him. c. Martin Freeman does not play John Watson. He *is* Watson. I don’t want to spoil it for you, but his acting made me react very emotionally in the third episode. heart

 

And if you can, get the soundtrack from the series. It’s fantastic. A friend is getting me a copy from UK. a-hard-days-night-george-10

This could be complete nonsense but i think one of the reasons Watson remained with Holmes was that he found his normal career in medicine rather pedestrian, whereas the mystery and intrigue in working with and being around Holmes was a continual rush.  Plus Holmes was so vastly different to anyone else Watson was ever likely to come across; sarcastic, brash, rude, abrupt, polite, charming, intelligent, egomaniacal (thats not a word), charasmatic, difficult, stubborn, methodical but not in a seeming methodical order, and another trillion adjectives all wrapped in 1. Watson was amazed that someone like Holmes could exist and didnt stick to the preconceived rules and norms of society.

Plus Holmes makes it clear that he values Watson immensly.

 

Cant say i was that thrilled to hear the news of a US remake. Will propably give it a viewing when its exported to the UK but not holding my breath. And still havent seen the last 2 episodes of series 2 yet.

Well there has always been the thought that Holmes and Watson were more than very good friends, something that has been discussed in quite some depth over the years.

Havent seen the films with Robert Downey Jr so cant comment on how they portray their relationship. However i personally dont believe for a second that there was anything more between them. Dont know how Sun King views it all.

They were in a relationship – one of the mind. Watson was married in A Sign of Four, and possibly remarried. I think it’s hogwash – Holmes never cared for love – so I think it’s not important. But, you know, never know.

mithveaen saidi

Do you believe in aliens?

hmm.. I do believe there are some other creatures in the universe – unnecessarily aliens as we know from those silly american films (if we have a fan of these, forgive, but for me it’s just another pice of crap) three-handed, big headed monsters with big yellow eyes. … it’s just impossible that WE’re only livings in outter space. I feel sory for everyone who thinks opposite. and again, how could we be afraid of them? … man’ve created a vision of aliens as powerful, cruel little creatures who observate earth from their planet just to assault us someday. bullocks, indeed. sometimes, I have this moments of existential dwelling and it’s always depressing when I realise how small I am. how null. but on the other hand I’m a catholic and in my religion earth-beings are the only one in the whole universe and there’s a little break in myself – who/what should I believe? -.- why’re you asking, mith?

 

 acutally, i was going to ask you do we have some thread like ‘which beatle is the most attractive one’? 😛 change of a subject a bit, sory, but that was my intention to ask this question to know your preference and taste (if i can say ‘taste’ but i hope you know what i mean)

if you want to be a hero, well, just follow me

Taxman is getting many a spin at Scottish football grounds thanks to Rangers being taken into administration, its frequency even got a mention by a bbc sport scotland commentator who named the album and George. Tho i think that was down to the match (Aberdeen v St Johnstone) being worse than watching a Justin Beiber x factor special.

I don’t even remember why I asked that sorry LOL!!!

 

Now a word on advise about “feeling small” : It is the best attitude towards entitlement. There’s too much of that today. People who think they deserve the world just because they are here. I have seen many “Princesses” and many “Situations” who feel the world should put on our knees just because they are there. When some starts with that attitude with me, I just tell them that in 50 years nobody will remember our names. Unless you are a Beatle of course. a-hard-days-night-john-2a-hard-days-night-paul-8a-hard-days-night-george-10a-hard-days-night-ringo-9

 

If you are interested in this subject, read Immortality by Milan Kundera. When I read about Goethe and Bettina, I couldn’t help to think in John and Yoko. two-virgins

Just had a great time last night at my High School Trivia Night at my local Scottish restaurant, where my team (me, brother and two parents) tied for first. And, I finally got Kisses On The Bottom .
Also, Mith, is there an Inspector Lestrade in Sherlock? I’d look myself, but I remember you saying there are some spoilers online, so I don’t want to see spoilers (as I want to watch it in perfect unknowing bliss).

Going back to the muppets, their website has a beatles page. One interesting piece is that the producers tried to get solo beatles on the show but werent able to.
