and x-ray vision and an exploding shoe!

Guy Ritchie, the British filmmaker behind crime capers Snatch and Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels, is set to give iconic literary sleuth Sherlock Holmes a modern-day makeover.

...The traditional, deerstalker-cap-and-pipe portrait of the fictional detective could, for instance, be reimagined so as to give greater prominence to Holmes' skills as an expert boxer and master swordsman.

I am trying to imagine this, but it keeps coming out in my brain as "Sherlock Holmes by Frank Miller" and then I have to drink alcohol a little bit.

Thoughtless

Okay, BSG, you win. I forgive you.

And Doctor Who filled me with little sparkly hearts!

Apparently there is some wank in Who-fandom about the guy who wrote that ep taking over the whole show? As much I am sympathetic about losing a favourite writer, maybe everyone needs to watch the last one and then say to themselves, HOLY SHIT, that is what Doctor Who is going to be like now ALL THE TIME FOREVER. And then everyone could get together and, I dunno, make alcoholic drinks named after Daleks and sing the hedgehog-song, only instead of hedgehogs they can sing about Doctor Who alien races I've never heard of. Or Captain Jack. Or maybe not Captain Jack, because that would be a song of LIES.*

*The "Captain Jack Can Never Be Buggered At All" song, I mean. I am sure there are more accurate drinking songs about Jack Harkness banned on many planets.
