He's good at doing that Martin Freeman face. Better than people who aren't Martin Freeman anyway.
Who do you fancy? Page 365
It's like 1066...

There's supposed to be an Apatow movie in the works, yeah, with Cohen as Holmes and Will Ferrell as Watson.
Quote: Matthew Stott @ January 8 2009, 4:13 PM GMTThere's also a Moffatt/Gatiss Holmes series coming this year to the BBC, isn't there? With Martin Freeman as Watson.
I won't even ask you if you're kidding because as soon as I read it I can picture some BBC brain doner commissioning it. I'm not a betting man, but this has the form to be one of the biggest literary f**k-ups of all time. I loved Gatiss in LOG, but the guy has no idea of his limits. Holmes wouldn't be within his reach if he stood on the back of 20,000 homosexuals. I like Martin Freeman too - he made Ricky Gervais a very rich man - but he's not Watson. Why don't the people who make these shows actually read the original texts! Moffat's 'Jekyl' was also unintentionally hilarious - and once again, I love Jimmy Nesbitt.
There's only one Watson.

Oh, say it ain't so!

Good. God.
Worse. 
Downey Jnr is Holmes in Richie's version.
Quote: Matthew Stott @ January 8 2009, 4:13 PM GMTI'm quite looking forward to the new Holmes move; Downey Jr as Sherlock?
Oh.

Ha! I see what you're trying to do there...but I'm not entirely convinced.
He'd have to be naked bloody brilliant for me to accept it.
Given that it's Ritchie, I wouldn't be suprised.
Gary Lineker's girlfriend.
Quote: Aaron @ January 13 2009, 1:56 PM GMTBlimey.
I know what you mean; Gary's looking super buff in that picture.
Very.

That's actually was what I was looking at.
Yeh, right. You can't take back that 'blimey' now! 
Is Gary Lineker rich then?
