"You have the grand gift of silence, Watson; it makes you quite invaluable as a companion"

I finally got the chance to see Sherlock Holmes. Oh. My. Goodness. I LOVE HIM. Never before have I watched or read a Sherlock Holmes story, but I thoroughly enjoyed this film. Because of Robert Downey Jr, of course. His voice! His accent! His magnificent outfits! He was perfection. There was the whole 'I'm odd and I talk really fast and nobody has a clue what I'm doing apart from me' vibe going on that I adore - Matt Smith as Doctor Who also pulls that off marvellously. The film was classic Guy Ritchie (unnecessarily complicated, lots going on, all culminating in a revelatory speech at the end of the film) which I thought was great. I'm not really keen on Rachel McAdams (boring boring boring) and Jude Law - who was lovely - could have done without the nasty moustache, but overall I thought that this film was quite wonderful. Mark Strong makes a wicked bad guy. And Robert, oh Robert. What a babe.

Hemily

I'm part of a team. Have I ever mentioned that before? We're called Hemily. This word is a clever amalgamation of our names, Hayley and Emily. We're soul sistas. Not even sisters, but sisTAs. There we re on the left. When I post about exciting events that I have happened in my life, Hayley is usually the one who accompanied me.

The reason that I am chit chatting away about this now is that I want to do a post about how much I am adoring Robert Downey Jr right now, but Hayley has already done one. You can see it here: http://theyhadmadeamovieaboutus.blogspot.com/2010/05/robert-downey-jr.html I suspect that people get bored when they are in the company of Team Hemily, because the two of us love pretty much the same things (not always, but mostly) and often it is things that are quite random. Like Edward Norton's chest in American History X. Or the every fucked up sarcastic thing Patrick Bateman says in American Psycho. Or the way Zachary Quinto says 'live long and prosper'.

I'm rambling on. All I really wanted to say is this: Hayley, you may have got there first, but I'm posting my favourite RDJ pictures anyway. Enjoy, they're a treat for the eyes (and luckily he is very accomodating with the amount of time that he has his shirt off).
