indeedsir_backup | Stephen Fry as Mycroft Holmes (Reply)

Since this is the only Jooster site I follow, I don't know if I'm late to the party on this or not, but according to CBC news, Stephen Fry has been picked to play Sherlock Holmes' older brother in the next Guy Ritchie installment.

I'll admit, I'm of two minds about this. I wasn't particularly fond of the first film, but now that Stephen Fry is going to be in the sequel, I won't be able to keep myself from going to see the second one. However, if it's the complete arse-gravy I'm worried it might be, then I know I'll be in for an hour and a half of enduring sympathic pain and anger at the fluffy and gorgeous Mr. Fry being forced into a movie far, far beneath him.

Oh well, if anyone can salvage a bad movie, it's Stephen Fry. Especially if he's playing an "agoraphobic oddball".

And yes, I'm still working on "Jeeves and the Incalculable Mistake". I'm just having trouble with chapter nine, because at this point it's very hard to see why Bertie wouldn't dismiss Jeeves the minute he laid eyes on him.
