The difference here is that Holmes' story is fairly open-ended. You can add new mysteries and new adventures easily. Harry Potter, while extremely popular, is a closed story. His adventures ended with the 7th book.

I did appreciate the fact that they made a point of letting the audience know that Young Sherlock Holmes was not Holmes and Watson as Doyle intended, but an "affectionate speculation" as to what might have happened if they had met as kids. They didn't have to do it, but they did. It turned what could have been

Wait, how is the Lone Ranger a Sci-Fi/Fantasy pic? I didn't see it, so I don't know.

That's a fair point, but there's a big difference between spending $150 on a nice watch, and $16,000 on a slightly nicer watch. I just don't get it. At the end of the day, it's just a watch. It tells the time. Make it as nice as you want, it's still just a tiny clock on your wrist. It's like spending $500 on a

That's not a particularly good analogy. There are more considerations to buying a car than simply the price tag, and more functions than merely A to B transportation. For instance- what climate do you live in? Is snow, ice, rain or mud common driving conditions? Is gas mileage important? Do you need large amounts

"To me that kind of expensive surgery (and risk) could be seen as ostentatious show of wealth (see: I can have my vision corrected, poor people can't) just as much as an expensive watch."

Well, we're full of Christmas cheer, aren't we?

Clearly. But this is more like American Dad; not for kids but also not particularly funny.

I never understood the need to spend over $100 on a watch. A watch! At this point, watches are purely ornamental (unless you are doing something specialized, like scuba diving). There are sooooo many things out there that tell you the time, it hardly seems worth it. They're superfluous.

I guess at that point, the goal is just to prevent it spreading to other buildings. At least no one lived in it...

You also have to factor in the kids that don't celebrate Christmas.

Thank you, Captain Buzzkill. This is the type of thing people use as an allusion to crushing a child's dreams ("That's like shooting Santa Claus", e.g.). Not really funny.

That was #11 on the list.

This looks more like a warthog than a wildcat.

At first glance at the I thought this was the opening credits to Game of Thrones. Then I read the headline...

Actually, this is what comes to mind whenever I hear the word "Hercules".

"WTF? This ain't the Hercules myth."

Or any Hercules movie for that matter. They're all pretty terrible.
