It's been a crazy few weeks for me, but now everything should be back to normal, so I can return to the movie watching and blog commenting.<br />As for Sherlock, overall I was pleased with the new season. I still have mixed feelings about the increased focus on John and Sherlock's personal lives, but after seeing the full arc of the season my feelings are more positive than after the first episode. I really loved the final episode up until the final revelation. I totally understand your frustration with everyone seeming to be immortal, but I love Moriarty's character so much that I almost don't care that it makes no sense that he'd come back.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09548134220080000201noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9031921900753703734.post-49654591072660550722014-02-11T03:02:25.042-05:002014-02-11T03:02:25.042-05:00Andrew... sorry this is another of those speaking ...Andrew... sorry this is another of those speaking to (mainly) a third person posts.. please excuse.<br />(But, hey, it's not private...)<br /><br />Thanks William.. It is always an added treat to Andrews posts when you join in.. and I really appreciate your direct pick ups on my points.<br /><br />I saw (briefly) something you said to me elsewhere.. you commented you had seen the Sherlock's.. The comment appeared in some sort of window, I had time to briefly read it, then I must have hit something and it vanished.<br />(I'm really pretty rubbish at technology and electronic communication).<br />I felt bad I hadn't replied,or even acknowledged you had taken the time to tell me.<br />At the time, I was severely dissapointed with them.. The whole sollution to the fall was a cop out. The giant bouncy castle was, surely, not the answer (I think we are told that)<br />The middle one was OK.. but I really groaned when YET ANOTHER dead person was (maybe) not dead at the end.<br />Is everyone in this immortal?<br />Anyway.. since then, on reflection I have certainly softened my criticism. <br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06918265332894443061noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9031921900753703734.post-40693600975430693362014-02-10T17:16:26.026-05:002014-02-10T17:16:26.026-05:00I'm with William on this one...I'm with William on this one...Andrew D.https://www.blogger.com/profile/13875921908336809524noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9031921900753703734.post-61361199957125644972014-02-10T01:35:35.815-05:002014-02-10T01:35:35.815-05:00Ray, you bring up an interesting point that it &qu...Ray, you bring up an interesting point that it "was one of [your] earlier visits to ... less mainstream films." I think most of my friends who love the film would be able to say the same thing. Which makes total sense to me - I can absolutely see this film opening people's eyes to what lies beyond the local multiplex and being an amazing experience. When I first saw it, though, it was "just another" really good movie.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09548134220080000201noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9031921900753703734.post-79774726739317155892014-02-09T16:38:36.162-05:002014-02-09T16:38:36.162-05:00I was definitely underwhelmed a little bit and aga...I was definitely underwhelmed a little bit and again, I just don't know why.Andrew D.https://www.blogger.com/profile/13875921908336809524noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9031921900753703734.post-51416884034831140652014-02-09T02:57:25.471-05:002014-02-09T02:57:25.471-05:00I've not seen this one for... a large number o...I've not seen this one for... a large number of years.

I can kind of understand why they feel that way, but I just can't share the feeling. Like you, I like it quite a bit and have enjoyed it every time I've seen it. It's a really good, well made movie. It just doesn't rise to the level of reverence for me that many of my friends have for it. I can't really pinpoint why, but maybe it's just a touch too dark for my tastes. Plus the all-Cat-Stevens soundtrack is a bit much, even though I like his music in moderation.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09548134220080000201noreply@blogger.com
