The picture are availabe for viewing at International Movie Database (imdb) dot com. Type in "Sherlock Holmes" in the search screen. I still have my doubts about the movie's quality but . . . Jude Law . . . and muscles . . . *sigh*. Eye candy is fun.


"What is that torture-ess of an author making odd noises about now?" Holmes grumbled.

"I can hear you, you know," she responded from over her laptop's screen. "They've released pictures from that upcoming Sherlock Holmes movie."

"What of it?" demanded Holmes. "I thought you had declared that movie a travesty and refused to have anything to do with it."

I peered over her shoulder. "One picture is of 'you' half naked."

"WHAT!" Holmes stormed over to peer over both of us. "Now that is in poor taste, I must say. I look like a common ruffian."

"A muscle-y common ruffian," the resident fanfictioner pointed out, grinning.

"My dear lady," Holmes began, "you disappoint me. To be taken in by mere appearances . . ."

"I was sighing over the other picture -- Jude Law playing Watson," she explained with a ridiculously dreamy expression. "Yowza."

Holmes pulled me aside. "Watson, the situation has become dire. This movie already has one established fanfictioner in it snare. Do you have any idea how many fan-girls are going to flock to their keyboards after its release?"

I gulped, then sighed in resignation. "I'll go put in an order for extra bandages."
