Holmes and Watson are at it again!

It took me almost two weeks to complete this short story, but if you love Sherlock Holmes, I think you will enjoy it! Join the immortal Great Detective and his faithful companion Dr. Watson on a chilling adventure set in the spring of 1910 . . .

Another fine tale, Indy.

And then there was Holmes and Watson in theaters December 25, 2018. With Will Ferrell as Holmes, John C. Reilly as Watson, and Ralph Fiennes as Moriarty, What I have seen of the trailer leaves me underwhelmed, as do most humorous versions of the story. I imagine that Indy's take on the story is better than this.

BTW be sure to read the short story i linked to above, it's on topic here.

I already want to punch Will Ferrell in the nose for what he did to LAND OF THE LOST; if his Holmes movie is as bad as it looks I may add a kick in the crotch to my list of planned interactions with him.

To be honest, indy, the ONLY will Farrell movie I liked was "stranger than fiction'.

And we agree on LotL. Just one stupid body waste joke after another...

ELF was cute.
And I thought his impersonations of GWB on Saturday Night Live were hilarious.
But overall, not an artist whose work I particularly admire.

Since you're a Holmes fan how did you like Downey's version? What about Benedict Cumbatch on his BBC series

And I hope you liked the story I linked to. It was a twist...

I haven't read your story link yet but I will try to get to it this week.
Downey's version was a failure, IMO. I saw where they were trying to go with it - but it just didn't quite achieve its purpose.
Cumberbatch, though - I think his was the BEST modern portrayal of Holmes that I have ever seen! I watched every episode of SHERLOCK and loved it!
