As you know, I kind of liked the movie - and I also liked The Case of the Silk Stocking, so that makes sense. The comparison with House/Wilson never ocurred to me before, but that too, makes sense. This - the Ritchie movie - was the first time I was more attracted to Holmes. LOL. Usually it's Watson/Wilson for me. (I find House physically attractive - for his age - but in other ways I can't stand him.) I liked the steampunk elements in the movie, and the slash (you know me...). I liked the dog too - but I was horrified that Holmes would experiment on him, though like you point out, it is typical for him. And I can only agree with what someone else has said here - that you have an amazing memory for details. I'd need to watch a movie or episode of a tv series several times before I get all that. Actually, I find that many people are more observant than I am... Hm...
