Dedicated to the Sherlock Holmes movies by director Guy Ritchie, starring Robert Downey Jr. and Jude Law.
Pic for Enkiduts' hospital filming post Dr Freud aka Holmes

Pic relating to Enkiduts lovely post with Holmes in his doctor disguise - it was supposed to be in my reply but of course being me I could not understand how to do that either so hope thi s is ok!
i rather thought Holmes had gone for the Freud look and this was to illustrate that :)




Counter clockwise from left: Alan Arkin playing Sigmund Freud, Robert Duvall and the late Nicol Williams as Doctor Watson and Sherlock Holmes
Watson and a proper loving Mary! Duvall and Samantha Eggar
TOBY!
And the best part of the movie was that the writer of the book, Nicholas Meyer, Sherlockian and filmmaker, directed from his own script, based on his own book!
Ever read the Seven Percent Solution by Nicholas Meyer? Dr. Freud plays a big role. (It's a GREAT book, omg, my fave pastiche.)
No haven't read it now but know about it from Enkiduts
WHAT??? You've never READ the Seven Percent Solution? And you call yourself a Sherlockian??? FOR SHAME!! Do I need to send you a copy? The best pastiche ever written, bar none! And you've not read it. Or seen the great film based on it either I bet. Oh, the shame of it all! I read it when I was just out of high school (or was I still in it) which is eons ago!! Don't know what you're missing and have been for all these years.
I assumed when you mentioned Freud, you knew the connection. I am pretty sure that RDJ looking like Freud was also not an accident--I bet Guy loved the book and film too! He has so many little bits in both movies that pay homage to Granada (right down to Wolf Kahler--the King of Bohemia in that versions Scandal in Bohemia as Dr. Hoffmenstahl--never mind Jude Law himself from the Shoscombe Old Place ep! ) and other Holmes versions!
IT'S THE GREATEST! It must be read immediately! :D :D
And furthermore---the movie--with Robert Duvall as Watson! Lord Larry Olivier as Mortiarty!! Nicol Williamson was brilliant, if also not really much of a match up for canon Holmes in description (less so in fact that poor RDJ, who may have brown eyes and isn't over six feet tall, but otherwise is a fine match). NEVER MIND Charles Gray---the Mycroft of Granada, in the very same role in 7%! Oh, the shame, the utter humiliation---I don't know how I shall ever recover from this, I really don't...Oh yes, and then there was the Grimesby-Roylott actor in Granada's Speckeled Band-- Jeremy Kemp, in 7% as the nefarious Baron Leinsdorf!!
I've just been on Amazon.com/UK and found a very good used copy and it is even NOW on its way to her! OMG!!! I really can't believe the gaps in this girls education!!!
If I was more flush I'd arrange for her to get a copy of the movie too--they had one on Amazon UK for 13.77 pounds! Well, maybe for Christmas...
Her punishment shall be write us some 7% fic. I HAVE SOME IDEAS.
I LOVE the way you think!!!! Heeee!!!!!
Oh, the mortification. I really must lie down and try to recover from this shocking blow!
I am sure there must be something in the rulz that says that kind members who post comments and kind hearts and stuff should not be the butt of Sherlockian scorn . ... denfenceless nice alexdaybe too ! ( does innocent face and sniggers darkly ) and i still can't post a pic for trying in a reply so now I have to retaliate with another post (HEHHeh heh -but Yay ! book now in post ! thank you
It is on its way to her via flaming arrow, I should note!!!!
Good catch! And the German accent too!
