“...we have to get it right. You know? I am in pretty good fight shape, I don't know if you want to see Sherlock with his shirt off in his 59 years old but I will do it for you”
Yes of coz we all want to see it, just make the third one already, I am begging you please 😭😭
partner and I watched the david tennant around the world in 80 days:
somewhat uneven opening act, was quite a bit of emotional stuff with passeportout that wasn't introduced aaaall that well and never really gets paid off either, and could have been better with a few tweaks
however each episode then got progressively better than the last
and was really into its final thesis, which was shockingly not about romantic love, even though there was a whole big setup around it, really appreciated that (I mean, sort of about romantic love, but not romantic love as the way to fix your life/the idea that you can just sort out things by being in love -- more about letting romantic love go actually)
literally a qpp type triad between fogg, passepartout, and fix??? you're waiting for the narrative to do the inevitably split in which fix and passepartout have their romance and then there's fogg's story next to it, but that... just doesn't really happen? and fogg explicitly compares his former great romantic love to the relationship he's built with the two of them???
whole episode dedicated to honouring bass reeves, former slave turned us marshal, on whom the western genre is basically based, and I'd say it's my favourite of the episodes overall
whole episode dedicated to honouring jane digby, english former aristocrat who scandalised everyone by having a ton of lovers and eventually marrying sexy younger sheikh medjuel el mezrab in damascus
really enjoyed the fact that it was an international collaboration, and you could tell. lot of fantastic actors from all over the world, lot of joy and respect given to their presence and said world
struggled a tad with being quite as open about the truth of english colonialism as I would have wanted personally, but it does speak to it, and it is a continued thread -- could have done more, glad it did some
there's an infuriating thread of how passepartout gets treated as a black working class man, but it's intentional, if not quite as acknowledged to his face as I wished (but then there's a thing that happens at the end which speaks to a delicious reversal of roles so all is forgiven -- well passepartout forgives them way earlier on, but me on his behalf)
abigail fix is a very well-written character. she gets to be good at the things she's good at, while also containing both the ability to be angry at the limitations pushed onto her, and have her own biases as a white upperclass british woman
all in all, it's got stuff that's wobbly for sure, but a lot of things that are annoying are also intentionally so (the fact, for example, that both fogg and fix don't initially take in passepartout's perspective and move through life with that blessed british "I can do what I want" colonialist attitude)
once the puzzle is complete it's so very very satisfying to have watched
loved the final scene with all my aroace qpp-having heart
david tennant spends so much of it being just the most miserable drippy former public school boy, he's drooping, he's sad, he's hurt and...
so spoiler for one scene here but:
he gets his shirt stripped off him and flogged which was also Pretty Neat.

“Goodnight, Watson. Pleasant dreams,” three incarnations of the same man tell their respective best friends. Only to discover with the next sunrise something most peculiar has occurred.

•Joan wakes up a year prior to falling asleep in Brooklyn in an alternate London (2013).
•And Watson, well, he wakes up in a future New York (2014) so far from his Victorian world he thinks Holmes drugged him before he fell asleep.

kinda grumpy because we had to watch BBC's Sherlock in my Logic class today. I remember watching that in high school. I wasn't particularly interested then, and my distaste has only festered
I found some 1940s old Sherlock Holmes movies (10/10 recommend tbh) and while I realise that they had a very small shot to fit everything in, did they have to sit in each other's laps like this???
Guy Richie's movies weren't the first to make them seem queer af, by now I think it's just part of the story.
Also there have been a fair few moments in these when Sherlock and John have been so adorably domestic if tumblr had existed back then, Johnlock wouldve been trending every time a new film came out.

Jude congrats his "Sherlock Holmes" co-star Robert Downey Jr. in person when he is in L.A. few days before the Oscars ceremony.

Translation
interviewer:
The two SH film is amazing, we hope there will be a 3rd episode. You must have probably seen R.Downey Jr's exceptional speech at the Oscars?
We saw the bond you had in these 2 films. Were you able to talk with him? Congratulate him?for his Oscar in Oppenheimer?
-
Jude Law:
I did indeed.I was in Los Angeles just before the Oscars.I was able to congratulate him in person on the success of Oppenheimer.This film did very well. He deserves this success.
He is a dear friend, a man of immense talents. We hope to be able to work together again, either on a 3rd “Sherlock Holmes” or something else.
The will is there! He is very busy.
It will continue to be. We'll see if we have the time to do it.
