Hello all you lovely gluttons for punishment, and welcome to our random livewatch of Asylum’s Sherlock Holmes. Don’t fear, I have not added any pics today, we have enough to contend with.

First off, playing the drinking game or drinking at all is not compulsory – though it really does help *g*. Of course if you are not drinking you have the added bonus of being able to mock those of us that are as we slowly deteriorate throughout the watch. I will put the game rules in the first comment to this, so if you want to play, there they will be.

Now to get serious for a moment. There are some people here tonight that have not seen this film before, and some of those are doing it sober. It is up to the rest of us to be here as their support network, helping them through this difficult and trying time. This is particularly important during the cliff scene, the nemesis scene that has broken so many of us in the past.

And while this isn’t exactly Citizen Kane, please avoid spoilers for those that haven’t seen it yet. And remember, we mock, but we mock with love.

We’ll be kicking off at 9pm, so feel free to play around and get to know each other until then.

Enjoy!

Drinking game rules

1. Drink every time Watson shouts “Holmes!” as if he has just woken up from a coma and realised what shit he is in.
2. Drink every time Watson wakes up from being asleep/unconscious/ from a coma and realises what shit he is in.
3. Drink whenever Holmes is the shortest person in the room.
4. Drink whenever Holmes’ caterpillar eyebrows do the acting for him.
5. Drink whenever the bad costuming/props/CGI makes you cry.
6. Drink whenever you spot – or [livejournal.com profile] i_bananas points out – all the modern day paraphernalia that has magically made it into Victorian Britain.
7. Two drinks if anything makes sense at any time.

Yes, well, you're odd. Quite lovely, but odd.

makes cuppa tea and gets snacks in anticipation... may well follow the drinking game rules with midget gems and chocolate!

Brilliant! I love your dedication. Really hope you like chocolate and midget gems. You'll be eating a lot...

For my part I have beer and some rum on stand by. Annoyingly I only have this recorded from SYFY and I'm missing a bit of the start but no idea how much so co-ordinating that with the rest of you could be tricky. I will also fall behind fast forwarding through the ads. Oh yes people, I know how to do things in style...

are we watching along through here or will there be a chat set up somewhere?

We'll watch and comment here. I'm not computer literate enough for chats!

I have JD and I'm watching the trailers... (it's a R1 DVD and yet can be played on anything, I feel that Asylum may be too cheap to actually bother with regions)

The CGI for the opening credits looks quite good (doesn't look much like London but you can't have everything)

Date: 2011-08-13 08:04 pm (UTC)
From: [identity profile] jooles34.livejournal.com
It's a conceptual version of London *cough*

okay, with the magic of technology I think I am at about the same place! Let the good times roll!

The start always reminds me of the Tennant version of Casinova

HOLMES! DRINK!

Holmes is the shortest person in the room. DRINK!

Did consider a "drink when you find Watson's moustache a bit skeevy" but we'd never stop...

I think I'm already falling beind on the number of times I'm supposed to drink... will try to keep up a steady rate of drinking just to make sure I'm not missing any out

Oh bravo *applauds* Some quite beautiful over acting there. It takes talent to achieve that sort of level.

Okay, this scene coming up is where most people end up running from the room screaming at the badness. Be strong, we're here for you.

Plenty of gratuitous arse shots though.

Load dramatic music because the direction and editing builds in zero actual dramatic tension!! Brilliantly done.

From: [identity profile] hab318princess.livejournal.com
yeah, I watched John's version of this: Shark Attack: Megalodon - the music was supposed to have the same effect, didn't work there either :D

Am I the only person who thinks they edited/hacked two versions of the script together for that scene and forgot to make changes?

Watson climbs down cliff, sees person/body and says he'll get help, climbs back up cliff and says he saw nothing...

Yup. it makes no bloody sense at all. Fast forwarding through ads.

"I'm sure you do" is one of the most intentionally funny line in this.
