Disgusting, and nothing new. Rupert Evert’s Sherlock Holmes on PBS was gay.

Now I know to avoid this movie like the plague. Thanks for the info. The thought of watching Downey and the other dude make out makes me want to puke.

Guy Ritchie himself seems to have an attraction to "manly" persons

Saw the preview to this recently, looked like it might be good, but there was no hint of this crap.

Oh, I'm sure someone has pitched that idea already. I'm sure they'd also LOVE to portray Jesus as gay too. These are some sick people here.

I don’t see any indication there’s actual kissing or intercourse in the movie. There’s nothing wrong with men sleeping in the same bed—it happened a lot in the old days—or men wrestling. It all depends on wat sort of inuendo they use. If it’s all sweaty fun, fine. If they stare deeply into eachothers’ eyes or or hug a lot, like in “Alexander,” that’s different.

I agree that this is revolting. Dr. Watson is clearly a straight man who falls in love with a woman at first sight in the second novel!

How will the movie deal with the fact that Watson was married?

What a waste! I have all 14 of the original films with Basil Rathbone and Nigel Bruce and I don't need to see this kind of crap.
