So I’m watching the New England Patriots play the Denver Broncos (more on that in a little while btw) and with ten minutes remaining in the first quarter they’ve just shown the eleventh commercial for Sherlock Holmes 2.
Most movie previews give the audience a clue as to the plot of the film. Even the typical Michael Bay/Jerry Bruckheimer explosion-fest tells the viewer – “hey you, this movie is full of explosions!”
But this trailer does not. The trailer is about two-and-a-half minutes long and most of it is either shirtless Jude Law or shirt/pants-less Robert Downy Jr. shooting an old-tyme gun right before saying something witty. As enjoyable as that may be for some, it’s not a plot or even the hint to a plot. So based on the trailer alone I can only conclude that the movie indeed does star Jude Law and Robert Downey, Jr. Oh, also there are tons of one liners. But that’s as far as the direct evidence will lead.
However, the empirical evidence implies that this movie is nothing short of full on gay orgy between the two leads. Don’t get me wrong, ok, I’m fine with that. I mean, if that’s what you want to watch. But if you buy a ticket for Sherlock Holmes 2 and you go into it expecting something other than a delicious sex-romp between two of Hollywood’s hottest leading men, you’re going to be sorely disappointed.
At least that’s what the trailer says.
