So, finally the new Holmes will be out in theaters Friday. Just curious who all is planning on seeing it this weekend, and who all will be puffing away on some Peterson's Sherlock Holmes blend once or more that day?

Looks like I just had a reason to make plans--thanks for the reminder!

I liked the first Sherlock Holmes with Robert Downey Jr ... and I was kinda expecting it to be a Hollywood-suckfest. They did modernize it (even though it was still set in proper Sherlock Holmes era), but somehow it still worked.
I don't know if I can bring myself to shell out $10-12 to see it, though.
If I'm going to see a movie over the holidays, that'll be it.

I will be going but it won't be Sherlock Holmes in my pipe, I will probably smoke some Black Shag from C&D's before and after the movie.

I'll probably go see it but I don't imagine I will be smoking any Sherlock Holmes Tobacco.

I'll be going to see it at some point during the holidays. Not sure what I'll smoke but it'll be dark and heavy, like the movie.

Having enjoyed the 1st one with Downey as Holmes, I look forward to this one.
I'll wait for it to be available on Netflix or the like though. Can't stand movie theaters any more.Snus, snuff and briar.
Not much more required in a day.

I don't mind the movie theaters. It's those idiots that talk and text on their cellphone during the movie that I can't stand. Can't say that I think Holmes would even have a bowl of Sherlock Holmes lol. He'd probably be puffing away on some dottle of an English blend ten times stronger than Nightcap. But I like it, a mostly Virginia blend with a bit of Burley to offset the heat. Just seemed fitting to me for that day.

I've had Black Shag by McClelland, but not by Cornell & Diehl. The McClelland version is pretty harsh at first, but mellows out during the 2nd half of the bowl.

I will be there! I'll have a Dunnie in my pocket to suck on during the movie. (yeah sure, it sounds weird but at least half of us will have a pipe with us for the movie, even if we can't smoke it)

Big Van you are correct it is McClelland, I don't know what I was thinking!!! These new meds have my mind all squirrelly.

BUMMER! I was hoping there'd be a C&D version too, and I could do a bowl-to-bowl challenge!

I'll rent it and smoke some Baker Street in my Petersen XL315.

I intend to go on Friday. If I can't get my family to go, I'm tempted to drive into Indiana....you can still smoke inside there right?

Thoughts? I just got home from the film and greatly enjoyed it--especially the last 20 min or so!!!
Thoughts on the pipes? Very fancy church he had. I'd like a better look at the tiny pipe from the train sequence.

Also did you notice the pivotal role his pipes played in the climax of BOTH films? That's cool also.

I see all movies including IMAX 3D movies for free. The perk of having a girlfriend who works as a part-time supervisor at our local AMC.
The only drawback, if the movie is crowded we can't go because paying customers have priority. We wanted to see the new Sherlock movie last night but it was packed so we saw Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol instead. Very good movie, but we are definitely going to go see Sherlock Holmes next once the crowds die down a bit.
Posted 5 months ago # -
I plan to see it during the week. I prefer to wait until the crowds are smaller. Nothing takes the place of the big screen but the lack of manners of today's movie goers; cell phones, constanty texting & talking, really sucks the fun out of going to the movies.
Ok old codger rant over....I enjoyed the first movie, heck, I even enjoy the Basil Rathbone series!I read the stories when I was a kid; I should reread them, I'm curious as to how they hold up.
I'll have my favorite bent pipe in my pocket when I do see the movie.Posted 5 months ago # -
Won't spoil it for anyone, but I will say A Game of Shadows was even better than the first one!
As for the pipes I much liked the one he had the majority of the time, the one he is smoking towards the end that plays the pivotal role. Any ideas on what kind that was? My guess is it's some BC cause it had the typical small white band between the shank and the stem. Regardless of make it was a cool looking pipe.

Yahoo ripped the crap out of it saying it was a big dissapointment.

I'm going to sit outside the theater and smoke a Persian silk slipper.

I'm waiting on the DVD. I use to go to the movies a lot "BC" as in before children.

Yea lots of critics ripped it up, but I'm with LOTPRs on this one. It was great. I'm not sure if I liked it better than the first, but it's definitely the same caliber film. Very enjoyable, great story, and of course great acting.
Posted 5 months ago # -
Kinda weird cause I heard Ebert gave in 3.5 out of 4 stars. I thought that was a decent review. Regardless of critics it was a good movie.

Ok so i saw it last night, I loved it, ive read every holmes story and thought the movie was very good, despite the inaccurate watson. A+
Did anyone catch the musical reference during the scene where holmes was on the mule?
clint eastwood 2 mules for sister sarah...check it out

Yeah some things concerning Watson are a bit inaccurate. Would have been hard for Doyle's Watson to have tea with Mary's parents considering her mother died when she was young and her father died before she even met Watson. Which begs the question, will they write her out of a third movie should one be made? In the stories Mary has passed away after Holmes goes over the falls with Moriarty. Missed the musical reference when Holmes was on the Shetland pony. Good catch there.

I've never read any of the Sherlock Holmes books.
But I just got done watching A Game of Shadows and I haven't enjoyed a movie this thoroughly in a long time.

i loved the first one and loved the second one more. i hope the talk of a third one is right.Posted 3 weeks ago # -
I watched it twice in a week. I haven't done that with a movie in almost 20 years. It was that good.
If you haven't seen it, see it.
Posted 3 weeks ago # -
Great flick. I've heard a script for a third one is already in the works. Can't wait.
Posted 3 weeks ago # -
I have pre-ordered the DVD from Amazon. It will be released in June.
