You're going to have to buy a new razor, Simone 😂 Great thumbnail once again!

High Society Standerds I assume. Or a mix of attractiveness with a usual scale of useing tapes an measuers. LIke waist, thigh, hair, speechable (lol), coordinations, hotness....etc lol

Funny how these things work out. I was just having coffee off Baker Street five minutes ago, and on the Bus ride home I check Patreon and this shows up 😅

Matrim

They call it Miss Universe for the same reason they call it the World Series despite only the US and Canada (barely) being able to play in it.

Robban6948

Your faces when you saw Steven Fry! It lights up the world 😄

dasgrove

Don't know much about pageant culture, but I stand firmly against letting the uggos in Andromeda have a vote in Ms. Universe. No beauty queen needs that many tenticles.

Jasbro

Cant wait to watch this later, such a pleasent surprise that we got the sequel so quickly, it normally takes years :)

Matt O'Keefe

What pageant were you in Simone?

Here I thought that after another crazy day, I'd drink the night away and forget about everything, but presto! A reaction to enjoy!

And the Enterprise meeting all those aliens in its journeys to places no one has gone before.

Hurray for the democratization of Instagram et al! :-/

I haven’t watched anything with Jared Harris in a while, and man, hearing him talk for the first time in a solid chunk of time, it really is bonkers just how much he sounds like his dad. Can totally hear him saying, “Alas, earwax.”

As a side note, Robert Downey Jr is certainly not tall, but he is not that short, either. His height is 175 cm, which is about 5’ 9”, so I doubt he needs to look taller. Meanwhile, Noomi Rapace is 163 cm (5’ 4”), so the height difference in that scene is actually believable.

George is right. Doyle killed off Holmes and Moriarty in a fight at the Reichenbach Falls in Switzerland. Then Doyle changed his mind and wrote a way out of it because he decided to write more Holmes stories. and I've now watched the trivia section so 🤷🏻

JBK405

This is actually not the only movie from the '00s and '10s that features Professor Moriarity trying to start World War I in the 1890s so he can profit as an arms dealer. I don't know why it became such a prominent idea for a few years, but it was done several times. To answer your question, canonically Sherlock Holmes was a lifelong bachelor, who never married or had children. He never expressed any interest in women, and Watson remarked on his disinterest several times. There is a compelling interpretation of the stories that he was asexual and aromantic, existing side-by-side with the interpretation that he was gay and in love with Watson. "The Adventures of the Creeping Man" is regarded as one of the weakest of the original stories, verging on outright sci-fi instead of a detective story (and bad sci-fi at that). But it's still a great line. Following up on a complaint of this adaptation that I posted in a comment on the first movie, I hate (HATE) the continued poor portrayal of Irene Adler. Compounding the problem of having her be a love interest at all, her death here is completely antithetical to "A Scandal in Bohemia" because the entire point of the original story is that she WINS. And for her, 'winning' meant ESCAPING. The entire story leads up to her getting away and living Happily Ever After beyond the reach of all these assholes that she never wanted to be involved with in the first place. So to have her die here is just insulting. EVERY adaptation gets this wrong so it's not just this franchise, but it drives me nuts every time.

Lintrinsic

As someone with a dodgy leg, I tend to kick with my bad leg, because to kick you have to balance and bear all your weight on the leg that stays on the ground and the leg that doesn't work great isn't a lot of use at that. I tend to fall over if I try to kick with my good leg. So while it seems counterintuitive it makes sense to me that Watson would stand on his better leg to kick.

I was worried that you had been spoiled in the last film's trivia about the Reichenbach falls where Moriarty and Holmes met their final (?) end. But thankfully, you didn't remember that. Sorry about the Jared Harris reveal though. He wasn't kept in the shadows for long though. While I love this film, I feel like it should have been a third movie rather than the second. We didn't get to see enough of Moriarty's machinations play out through other people, only his use of Blackwood and his henchmen to retrieve a remote triggering device. I would have liked for there to be another person who looks like they're the big bad, but their actions are in fact being manipulated as well by Moriarty. I like that some of the predictions you both had were correct, and others wrong. It's good as it shows that it's not so predictable as to make it boring. Great reaction, and thanks for doing the follow up for this as quickly as you have.

blerbaberpaterb

you really dont need to spam this everywhere and in every post each day. they get 1 email for every comment made, and once they see a recommendation they add it to a list. theyve said before that spamming doesnt change anything. you still need to wait for the next poll

Happy Hanukkah

Well it ties in with the movie, what with the Anarchist subplot and all. :-)

Dear Myccie: https://i.ibb.co/ycR6rBGm/aczfwp.jpg 20:05 One can never get enough Stephen Fry! 20:47 LOL at (/with) Simone's face. 20:48 "Stephen Fry's butt, it's just..." so big, it's just so round, it's like out there! Oh my God, Simone, just look at it! :-) 39:11 "I really hope he stays dead." But what if the fans ***really*** insist on his return? 42:14 "The disguise ... was originally a priest." Let's tie this in to Jared Harris's old man: https://www.youtubetrimmer.com/view/?v=57UeR9ZrzF0&start=593&end=737

1. Simone was for sure a Miss Teen Canada contestant. Duh! 2. Trains back then could get up to 35 mph...oops 56.33 km/h (Source) Back to the Future III.

megamoo chilli

I think he killed off Holmes because he was sick of all the attention it brought him.

Thomas Yanez

Regarding the beauty pageant discussion... sometimes George thinks a little too hard about some things.

blerbaberpaterb

what does that even mean? what would be the 'correct' amount of thinking?

blerbaberpaterb

that still doesnt make any sense. he asked a question because he was curious about a thing he knows nothing about. how is that too much thinking?

Jeff K.

I admit, I had never seen this movie before even though I saw and enjoyed the first one, and I love Stephen Fry. So I was surprised but also delighted and thought, "Oh, well that makes sense" that they ended it with their own version of Reichenbach Falls. Because I guess if you're gonna do Sherlock vs. Moriarty, you kinda HAVE to do a spin on that at some point.

Jeff K.

Uh, excuse you, but if you'll recall, the conductor/engineer guy in Back to the Future III made it VERY clear that, if you had a long, flat, straight stretch of track and could get the fire up hot enough, you might be able to get up to 90 MPH. Geez, do you even fictional time travel science!?

Happy Hanukkah

2:17 Oh my God! I cannot *believe* that Robert Downey Jr., of all people, would engage in "yellowface"!! Inconceivable!!! 2:50 I *love* Salieri!

Skyruff Creative

Based on your reaction here, I recommend “lucky number slevin” (2006).

Mike W

Think you would like Enola Holmes

Dan

Late Victorian steam trains would get up to about 80mph max speed in normal operation though generally wouldn't average that over a journey.

Dan

Re errors when sending telegraph messages... In modern Morse Code you send repeated 'E' (single dot) to represent "error" and then start again from the last correct point. Various historic telegraph systems would have all had their own ways of signalling "error".

John

For the next tv poll, I suggest Fringe, Jared Harris was great in it. It also stars John Noble from LOTR

WeeFilly

Heh, funny, they even used the theme from "Two Mules for Sister Sara" for the pony ride scene. Nice, unexpected touch, and a nice "tipping their hat" to a classic with a score by the masterfuly Ennio Morricone!

Garett Wiles

The fan that was the angriest at Holmes' death and demanded he be brought back was actually Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's wife. I'm not sure he would gave in and resurrected the character if not for her.

Jacob King

Doyle’s contempt for Holmes is hilarious when you factor in Holmes’s complete dismissal of the supernatural. Doyle believes in ghosts and fairies and ESP while his most famous character is rolling his eyes and yawning.

Jayson Phillips

Korean Soju uses Formaldehyde so cheers! lol its a different drunk than alcohol.

AC10

Yep! The Simone ghost door openings are still unsettling... (4:32 if you are wondering)

Denashi

Seconded!

Ken

The cats being cats in the background 20 seconds before the ghost door happens provides all the clues.

JBK405

I'm "aware" of the Jeremy Brett Holmes series, but never watched it in full yet. Maybe it will fill out the next free day I have. Thanks for the link to this episode.

Dwight Scarn

Im no Sherlock expert but from my understanding Sherlock and Moriarty are equals but Moriarty has an edge because hes evil.

jay

lol, was watching their weapons reaction the other day and every time simone's camera fell down it made me jump

Ken

Stephen Fry said in an interview that it was in the script for Mycroft to be nude in those scenes. He thought it was funny when he read it and agreed to do it nude, also noting that he thought it might be cowardly not to.

Eric Wilson

Its been a while sense I read Sherlock Holmes works but I believe he killed Holmes this way and was done writing but people were insistent so he did a "prequel" before he died, and he eventually brought him back from the waterfall death later and wrote more.

FranciscoGios

Holmes Resurrected by Sofa Chair…

Rooster Aleution

Please watch the Sherlock TV series with Benedict Cumberbatch and Martin Freeman. It's a great modern take on Sherlock Holmes and you'll definitely enjoy it.

CinOps

In regards to your pre watch chat, you definitely need to watch Miss Congeniality!

TomGas2025

What I find very peculiar are the flags shown on the movie. On the cake they were correct for that time for Germany being red white and black with a black eagle in the middle. Than in the war room they showed the modern version black red and gold on the map with the figurines. Must have been an oversight i believe...

Matrim

Regarding the hook being able to hold up Holmes: flesh is remarkably tough, your skin alone can hold your entire body weight. An ex of mine was big into hook suspensions, I once watched her hang from two hooks in her knees and swing around. We used to do energy pulls where we’d connect chests and lean our full weight back against them. Flesh cuts pretty easily, but it takes a lot to tear it.

Happy Hanukkah

Yep. Verging on the macabre, think about the difficulty of chewing through a tough cut of meat.

Happy Hanukkah

Fixing It For You: "Jared Harris is amazing." :-)

cincassette

On the topic of beauty pageants, you’ve got to watch the beauty-pageant mockumentary satire "Drop Dead Gorgeous" (1999). It’s such a funny movie, and it has a great cast too!

Angela D. Mitchell

I forgot how much Noomi Rapace was in this -- she's a good actress, but I just never seem to like her characters very much. I was glad they didn't force a romance with Sherlock (although the ruthless "exit girlfriend, enter new potential love interest ASAP" aspect reminded me of Mission Impossible: DR part 1, which will always bug me). For me what makes this worth it is the incredibly chilling opening scene between Irene and Moriarty, and the even more superb final confrontation between Moriarty and Sherlock. Jared Harris is so good, and he also seems to make RDJ stop clowning and actually inhabit the scene. Upon rewatching this with your reaction, I didn't love this as much as I remembered -- for me, RDJ is a little too smug and scenery-chewing and the story is a little needlessly complex. Simone is right -- the idea that Moriarty never looked in his little red book in all that time strains believability. But I will always love Jude Law's Watson, and I think every single moment with Jared Harris is worth the price of admission. I wish they had held off on the surprise at the very end until after the credits began. We don't even get 10 seconds of emotional reaction before -- whups, never mind.

A history of violence (viggo mortensen)

One of the teachers in my grade school had a daughter who did the ballet/pageant thing. We ended up dating briefly during the summer between our freshman and sophomore years of college (different colleges in different states, but went home for summer and hung out). She ended up winning Miss New Jersey, which I was there for, and then later, possibly while I was home for the summer, or some other thing, when we were no longer dating, I went to see her at Miss America, where all the Miss [state]s compete, and she was out, with half the other contestants, in the first round. I, too, never understood any of it. I spent a lot of time thinking about how on earth they judge any of it, for all the same reasons George brought up. I believe there were female judges, too, maybe even former contestants, so it's not *only* horny old men, at least not anymore. These people really believe in it, like people who show dogs do, which I also never understood. Really, though, there are a lot of contests I don't understand, for a host of reasons. I remember one of the singers was amazing, and she did this note that started way down low and deep, and then climbed up into the stratosphere, and passed through a frequency that literally shook all the organs in my torso, and I guess everyone else's, because the auditorium went crazy, and I thought "Oh, she's winning for sure now," and then she didn't. So, yeah, I don't know 🤷‍♂️ They do, though, or claim to, and I have to say, I get it... Out of nowhere, I got into knitting in 2018. I was always curious, and then it turned out to be a geek paradise of interesting information, techniques, science, physics, biology, chemistry, hand skills, invention, jargon, colors, friends we made along the way, etc., and I fell down the rabbit hole deep, but I recall going to Joann (RIP) that first week, and seeing a wall of knitting needles, and thinking "WTF? What's the difference? You could just use chopsticks." And then the prices, like $15 for a pack of 4? I could get like 500 barbecue skewers for that. Flash forward to me, full of DEEP opinions on every brand and line of needle, happily paying ridiculous sums for the good stuff. Flash forwarder to me knitting a gauge swatch, which is a square you do just to measure the scale of your stitches in both dimensions with that yarn/needle combo, so you know how many stitches you need around a sweater, etc., which 99% of the knitting world seems to abhor doing, so they all end up with sweaters the size of a postage stamp, or a blanket, saying "I probably should have swatched." But I digress. Flash back forward to me again, just having an out of body experience with how unexpectedly incredible a particular combo of yarn (Malabrigo worsted) and needles (Chiaogoo circulars) felt together. It was like the kind of physical joy you get when you first pet a chinchilla, and you're like "This is the softest thing I've ever touched, by a factor of 50, and can I have it?" I can't impart the feeling of that swatch I was knitting to anyone. I just looked like a large, hairy man, knitting a square, and breathing heavily, but in my head, I was like "F***ing hell, this is otherworldly." You only need enough swatch to measure a 4x4 inch, or 10x10cm square, but I went to to 8", then tore out the whole thing and redid it, just to be able to keep going, because it was like [what I imagine smoking] crack [is like]. I can't explain it, but a few experiences like that in my creative life help me understand that there are things hiding all over that I don't get, but if I invested time and energy into them, I might start to, or it might suddenly click for me, so maybe pageants are like that? I don't know. I don't toss out anything I don't understand anymore, though, because of experiences like that stupid gauge swatch. Oh, and I've since tried knitting with chopsticks and barbecue skewers; they suck ass.

called it with george laughing at naked stephen fry, but I wasn't entirely expecting him to be so flustered kink unlocked or somesuch

Ashkaun

You guys should really watch Enola Holmes if you enjoy the mystery aspect more

James O'Sullivan

Doyle was not happy to bring back Holmes. He resented that Holmes was more famous than his historical work, which Doyle wanted to be his legacy. It was eight years before he brought Holmes back and many believe to be an inspiration for Stephen King's book Misery (though I don't think there's any proof of that)

Philipp Roensch

Has been a while since I've seen this one, but great fun again. Jared Harris is perfectly cast as Moriarty, he is even given the best German lines of all the British actors^^. Paul Anderson as the mercenary/sniper, also love him from Peaky Blinders. It is quite bold with CG and action effects, but impressive, that speed-ramp zoom is very cool still.

Hugo Bovenius

I think you would enjoy the movie Mr Holmes from 2015. Its a verry touching story about an elderly Holmes fighting senility

Metalhead Reacts

If you like Harris' work as much as you said, I will reiterate my suggestion of watching FRINGE tv series.
