Numlock posted:Hunklock was very distracting. So unusual to see a Sherlock that is so physically imposing. Aside from being mega-swole, he was also unfailingly empathetic, humble, and socially appropriate. I like my Sherlocks to have clearly noticeable personality disorders and/or neurodiversity, thank you very much. Speaking of which, a good modern-day Sherlock is the 90’s move The Zero Effect, with the always-underrated Bill Pullman as agoraphobic genius detective Daryl Zero, and Ben Stiller as his long-suffering Watsonesque sidekick.

Xotl posted:That was the first big pastiche anthology and also had the blessing of the Estate, as you say, so it is reasonably well known, though its quality is as hit and miss as most of that sort. The King is the best one in there, but some of the names you don't recognize are also well known in the mystery community if nowhere else: Dorothy B. Hughes has several of her books made into films, including the classic In A Lonely Place with Bogart (great movie). Edward D. Hoch was one of a handful of people in the world after the pulps who made a living off short stories: he wrote hundreds, appearing every month in the top mystery magazines for decades. John Gardner was an ex-Royal Commando and then priest who took over the Bond franchise after Fleming died; he wrote a trio of interesting novels about Moriarty that can be a lot of fun. I was mostly grousing, thanks for the info! I'll check them out

I just started the second Mycroft Holmes book. Can someone do me a huge favor and give me a plot rundown of the first one? I haven’t read it since it came out and wiki isn’t giving me too much to spike my memory. In spoiler tags, of course.

Doyle's Holmes is a volcel who seems to feel disdain or indifference towards women, with the exception of Irene Adler in A Scandal in Bohemia. Watson says that Holmes doesn't feel attracted to her, just admires her wit, and most people who write about the original Holmes say that the canon doesn't support a romantic connection.quote:To Sherlock Holmes she is always the woman. I have seldom heard him mention her under any other name. In his eyes she eclipses and predominates the whole of her sex. It was not that he felt any emotion akin to love for Irene Adler. All emotions, and that one particularly, were abhorrent to his cold, precise but admirably balanced mind. [...] And yet there was but one woman to him, and that woman was the late Irene Adler, of dubious and questionable memory. But I wondered if that's actually true. The only payment he requests from his client at the end of the case is a photo of her. That seems like a pretty clear indicator that he feels some sort of love or attraction that surpasses mere respect. Like if Adler were a man I doubt Holmes would have said "oh no need for payment, let me just keep this dude's headshot" Kevin DuBrow fucked around with this message at 06:19 on Oct 3, 2020 |
