    Look again at that dot. That's here. That's home. That's us. On it everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever was, lived out their lives. The aggregate of our joy and suffering, thousands of confident religions, ideologies, and economic doctrines, every hunter and forager, every hero and coward, every creator and destroyer of civilization, every king and peasant, every young couple in love, every mother and father, hopeful child, inventor and explorer, every teacher of morals, every corrupt politician, every "superstar," every "supreme leader," every saint and sinner in the history of our species lived there--on a mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam.

    Eh, I'll probably catch hell for saying this, but not a fan of Robert Downey Jr at all. Didn't see the first one (no interest) and the second one doesn't really interest me in the least bit either.

    I always imagined Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Moriarty to be seasoned and wizened older men -- perhaps cast by Ian McKellen as Sherlock and perhaps Gary Oldman as Dr. Moriarty. Of course, they are going for a "sexy, hip!" younger Sherlock Holmes for the masses to enjoy with this one for sex-appeal and because it's "cool!". No thanks.

    Then again, the coolest Sherlock Holmes/Moriarty mix ever would be Nick Nolte as Sherlock and Gary Busey as Moriarty. Now I would pay money to see that!

    Great casting, but a poor script made the first one a ho-hum affair and I knew right away there'd be a chance for redemption with a sequel. That said, still not sure they'll deliver, but hopeful.
