You lot would know all about that, wouldn't you?

1. Jon Stewart Most Influential Man in America. This is news? Did people not know this?

1b. There will be 508 Port-a-Johns at the Rally to Restore Sanity this weekend in Washington D.C. They are expecting 150,000 people. What this means is: go before you go.

2. Geoff Boucher over at Hero Complex interviewed God, err, Chris Nolan about Batman 3. And? He got some answers!

- The movie is officially called The Dark Knight Rises
- The villain is not The Riddler
- Boucher is hoping it's gonna be Hugo Strange. Which was my vote two weeks back. If I'm right do I get a cookie?

3. Also, in Tom news. Several weeks back I was talking with maurheti and said that at the rate his star is ascending it was only a matter of time before Angelina starting circling on her broom. I just didn't think that it was gonna happen this soon. Am I an Angelina fan? No, Ari and I are not. We don't hate her, just don't subscribe to all the fuss.

4. I saw Killshot the other day. Uh HUH. I have no idea how people can see Joe as anything than insanely ripped and stronger than a 2 by 4 to the back of the head. He's lithe, but there is nothing weak or feeble about him. He's got Zero fucking Body Fat. He's ripped like a Marine. He's not built like a bloody romance novel heroine. I don't even... But you know, opinion is subjective; this is my opinion.

5. In less hostile news, maurheti, serialkarma and I have finally - yes fucking finally -- seen the pilot for Sherlock. Yes, that Sherlock. I had no idea it was a modern adaptation. I had no idea it was, in fact, that clever. Or that gay. Gracious. Do you have story recs for us? Bring 'em on!

I really, really liked Sherlock, though I am miffed that apparently at least one key plot point was lost through BBC America's usual editing-for-time nonsense.

So far irisbleufic is my go-to for fic in this fandom: here's her(?) tagged stuff (http://irisbleufic.livejournal.com/tag/sherlock).

I also loved these:

The Goodge Street Gambit and the Controversial Non-Holmesian Principle (http://definewisdom.livejournal.com/36181.html) by definewisdom -- Watson and Lestrade play a game Sherlock doesn't know.

Paper Chase (http://sam-storyteller.dreamwidth.org/158055.html) by copperbadge -- Sherlock/White Collar crossover. Author's summary: "One criminal consultant. One consulting detective. One serial killer. And one perhaps inadvisable bet..."

I saw it on PBS, what plot point was presumably missing?

Thanks for the recs!

From what I've heard, Moriarty didn't just warn the killer about Sherlock, he paid a bounty for every death (which was going into a trust for the kids).

Wait. And they cut this from the pilot. STFU! Fail, PBS! Fail!

INORITE? (And I meant PBS, not BBC America. I do that all the time.)

Dude! How did they cut that out of the pilot? I mean, half the point of that god-damn cabbie is setting up for the Moriarty reveal. (And I'd argue the second half of the point was setting up characters in the episode and giving John something to write on his blog, so it can get internally referenced in ep3).

This is why people around the globe end up downloading stuff, I'm just saying.
