Tonight I was blackmailed into seeing Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close at our local discount movie theater. Well, I say “blackmailed,” when in fact I mean that I made a deal with my friends where we would all go see Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows for the third time (don’t judge; I love that freakin’ hurt/comfort slash-tastic movie) if we also bought tickets to see the later showing of Extremely Poorly Named Movie No One Can Remember That Coincidentally Also Sounds Dumb When Said Aloud.
To say I was pleasantly surprised would be an understatement. And now allow me to tie everything back to Sherlock, as is my habit recently. :)
( Why I think everyone who loves Sherlock would enjoy this movie. )
EDIT: If you are interested in Sherlock and autism, absolutely go check out this knowledgeable series of posts analyzing Sherlock’s canon behavior in the light of autism.
On a loosely related note, this movie cemented my belief that New York can completely stand in for London in CBS’s Elementary. (I’d already believed it with House, which is set in New Jersey, but now it’s clear that to me, the only thing needed to make a Sherlock Holmes adaptation work is Sherlock Holmes’ characterization.)
