Wow. I love Sherlock Holmes; read all the stories, watched many of the movies (I think The Hound of the Baskervilles is the most remade movie in history), even listened to some of the radio dramas. And I love Robert Downey, Jr, so I can't help but be excited about the film.

But RDJ doesn't really look like my image of Holmes. Namely, he's short and Holmes is supposed to be tall and skinny. I think Peter Wingfield would be a better fit, hehe.

I guess I'm very particular about who plays Holmes. A while back there was a Holmes series with Jeremy Brett, who was a really brilliant actor, but I just couldn't get into it because Brett didn't look like Holmes! To me, at least.

Oh, and I love the whole House is Holmes thing. And Wilson is Watson and maybe Cuddy is Lestrade? haha.
