I've always loved the stories, and I caught a preview for the upcoming movie on TV the other day. Anyone else looking forward to the movie or have any opinions on it?

I haven't read a lot of Sherlock Holmes stories, but I've really enjoyed the ones that I have read. So, part of me is looking forward to it. I hope that I have time to be able to go see the movie.

Me too actually. I remember thinking it was strange they got Robert Downey Jr. to play him though. I'm wondering how that's going to turn out.

Who knows? We'll just have to wait and see.

This movie is very frustrating. If you go to the IMDb or Rotten Tomatoes and search for Sherlock Holmes you get the 1939 Hound of the Baskervilles with the new movie nowhere to be found. You have to search for it through the back door, as it were, by searching for one of the stars then linking to it from their page. As for Robert Downey Jr....the last clear, vivid image I have of him as an actor is as a psycho killer tormenting Annette Benning in In Dreams. I've seen some of his other pictures since then - Zodiac, Gothika, Charlie Bartlett - but none of those roles stand out in my mind as memorable the way Vivian Thompson did.

Correction...The last time I tried finding this on Rotten Tomatoes, which was about a month ago, I couldn't find it other than through Downey's page but now you can find it searching for Sherlock Holmes. Still can't on IMDb yet though.
