Holmes has been one of my loves since I was about 14 (along with homoerotic literature, gee how did I combine those two? LOL) and while the new movie was fun and what ever, it was definitely not my Sherlock Holmes!
I can accept a modern day AU easier than something that sits between a parody and the real thing (which was the movie for me). Also I seem to be immune to RDJ's charm and have never liked Jude Law (this was actually the first movie of his that I watched, ops?). So yeah, old fashioned moron, that's me :)
But have to admit the BBc version is the most out there slashy one I've seen so far, cue conversation with hubby last night after the girlfriend/boyfriend discussion in the cafe.
Hubby : "Wait so they made Holmes gay, can they do that?"
Me : "No sweetie, he has always been gay, it was all the other adaptations that tried to make him straight."
