@@mitchellhorton9382 beautiful

@thenerdtosee Hahahah best reply ever

Though, to be honest... A Victorian era "selfie stick" joke wouldn't be all that bad of an idea, given how that was a time of large-scale innovation and progress in itself. And the idea of some self-photographing device would likely just seem like one of the more eccentric forms of experimental technology at the time.

If the movie came out in 2015 it would’ve been more relevant; not funny but relevant

It's not a terrible joke in-and-of-itself, it's just ruined by: 1. The fact that it's been almost a decade since people were making fun of "duck face" selfies 2. Ferrell's platypus line, which doesn't make sense (they had ducks back then!) and seems to just be there because it's a weird word to say. 3. The way that, like a lot of bad SNL-style American comedy, it takes a really simple joke and stretches it out for far too long. There are a few gags like that in the movie that *almost* work, but completely sabotage themselves because the people involved had no restraint and seemed to think that 'more'=funny.

@@retrogamelover2012 That would've been funny. A good set up would've been to have Watson and Holmes see someone attempt to take a photograph with one of those "Selh-photographing devices," and have Holmes make a joke like "I'll never understand the common man's desire to capture every piece of mundaneity in a photograph." And as Watson would try to explain it, the device's pole breaks and the photo is ruined.

clearly, they are not making films for the audience, but for themselves

Yesss!I think its fun when you can tell the actors had fun filming and genuinely care (*cough Supernatural cough cough*) but when it feel like they didn't care if the audience enjoyed it and blew millions of dollars to goof off...its not fun.

Don't worry. Movie studios aren't printing money anymore because of COVID-19. They'll have to be more discriminating of the scripts they greenlight now

cough ragnarok cough

They either don't want to pay writers or nobody can write comedy anymore

He does, doesn't he? XD

I liked the movie abit when I saw a year or two ago (and when I typed abit it auto-corrected to shit)

Stranger than Fiction! It was jarring seeing him in a more serious movie at first but I thought he did great in it. He really nailed playing a serious role while still keeping some aspects of comedy.

@@grodeejodee9815 I loved that movie too! A great movie and a great performance from Will Ferrell. Completely agree, it was a bit strange, seeing Will Ferrell in a slightly more "serious", but still funny movie. I didn't know if he could do it at first, but as the movie went on, I was impressed by how talented Will Ferrell could be, WITHOUT constantly screaming his head off. But, as a kid, I also enjoyed his role in "A Night At The Roxbury", which was a bit serious too, and sorta like a proto Step Brothers type movie, but that movie's ok, but Stranger Than Fiction is like a more dramatic comedy, but is more of a drama. But I did like how Ferrell stepped out of his comfort zone to do something more dramatic. One of his best roles. But, then, he sadly returned to doing a lot more manchild comedies. Which actually can work in some instances, I mean, Step Brothers is pretty funny and dramatic in some places, and is relatable, but as much as I like Will Ferrell and John Reiley, their chemistry doesn't work for this particular movie. It's just like they're trying to do an unfunny parody skit of the Robert Downey Jr. And Jude Law Sherlock Holmes and Watson, not actually trying to be a funny version of either character, but since both Downey and Jude Law were ALREADY pretty funny in their Sherlock Holmes movies, was there any need for the Step Brothers to basically cosplay as them, or play as the British ancestors of the Step Brothers? I mean, surely, there must've been a better way to reunite the Step Brothers, than by ruining the great Sherlock Holmes's and Watson's characters? No? Oh well. I still enjoy Will Ferrell and John C. Reilly as actors, occasionally, like in Talladega Nights, Anchorman, Zoolander, Step Brothers, Stranger Than Fiction, those, are still some of Will Ferrell's and John Reiley's best roles. But, Sherlock is not a good role for him, this time anyways. If you wanted to see this done right, why not just go and watch the RDJ Sherlock Holmes movies? Those still hold up well, or, why wouldn't you go and watch Hot Fuzz(like someone in the comments suggested). That's ALSO a great movie, with 2 British guys, trying to solve mysteries, with a slightly dark comedic setting, and both characters have great chemistry together too, and both lead actors(Simon Pegg as Nick Angel and Nick Frost,), are doing a great job, and have also worked together on other movies like Shaun of the Dead, The World's End, and are basically just really good at playing both dramatic and funny roles. Sorry if this went off-track or went on too long.

Funilly enough, both of their arguably best performances are both Dreamworks characters who go from bad to good.

The other guys was funny

It's not the exception it was just fresh. Stranger than Fiction and Everything Must Go are another two films that display an excellent performance from Ferrell

"Semi-pro" and "Talladega Nights" have their moments. Granted, those moments are rarely the cause of Will Ferrell himself, but the movies do have them.

@@markiangooley Holmes and Watson feels more like a sad knockoff of a Mel Brooks comedy such as Airplane or the Naked Gun, but they didn't realize that the jokes in those movies were stupid (in a good way) because of the films blunt take on the things it was parodying, and the fact that the jokes are well written for being so on-the-nose. Instead they assumed Mel Brooks comedy is just spontaneous humor and lame pop culture references.

well they are a contractual obligation. no one WANTS to do them

You're right!! It's "work" for the person being interviewed. Having to sit down with a person you most likely don't know and they expect the actor to be charming and funny. That's gotta be harder than it seems; especially for actors who have anxiety disorders... Most comedic actors!!

That's why I can't stand hollywood in general. EVERYONE is fake. No successful actor you will ever meet has a genuine personality. They all wear masks, all of them. It makes talking to them an uncanny experience, you just feel like something's...off. If feels very artificial, because it is. Good actors have to be able to slip in and out of characters with such ease, that they have suppressed their own to put on this overly friendly, outgoing façade. It's creepy!

I think John C. Reilly does these movies because he genuinely enjoys just doing stupid improv with Will Ferrell. IHE does mention that he seemed to be taking the performance more seriously.

LMAOOOOO This deserves comment of the year award

honestly most comedic takes I've seen on Sherlock Holmes utterly miss the point of the appeal of Holmes stories, usually as a direct result of making Holmes 'funny'. Honestly I think the proper way to do it would be to have Sherlock and Watson play things entirely straight but set them against a case that is utterly ludicrous in every respect.

Yeah, if you care.

@@SavageGreywolf Yeah, at the very least there needs to be some modicum of wit. Slapstick doesn't cut it in that setting.

Arent modern christmas traditions from germany?

@@insertmemorableusernameher6795 They are a mix, but I'd say in the UK and US they are mostly English traditions (with some German traditions via UK which where taken to the USA; most of these coming from the fact the Royal Family were partly German); and there is a tiny bit from the Dutch (via New Amsterdam/New York) and French. I'd say that (the US name) Santa Claus despite his name being from Dutch owes a lot more to the English Father Christmas than the Dutch Sinterklaas or German Nikolaus, Christkind or Krampus (amongst others). The French Père Noël is quite similar also. Obviously the US has more influences from outside the UK than the UK itself, where I am based. A lot of traditions we take for granted now were also popularised by 'A Christmas Carol' by the English author Charles Dickens.

Mike Hancho people think die hard is a Christmas movie not cause it’s “vaguely released at the same time of year” but Because it takes place on Christmas Eve and the plot takes place at an office Christmas party and there are many Christmas decorations visible throughout the movie and Bruce Willis himself references that’s it’s Christmas time by dressing up corpse as Santa and through some of the one liners and there are a few Christmas songs in the soundtrack. It’s very obviously intending itself to be a Christmas movie

@Mike Hancho Die Hard is a Christmas movie. It is set at Christmas. It has Christmas songs. It makes heavy references to Christmas. It's even about family, which is a classic theme of Christmas movies. Christmas movies don't have to always be family-friendly comedies with heartwarming "Aw, look how generous these people are!" moments. They can also be action movies about fighting terrorists to rescue your estranged wife.

@@chuckbatmangaming You need to see the movie «Witout a Clue». It did basically this premiss. Well Holmes was basically just the front man while Watson was actually the brains of the opperation, but it worked.

Meanwhile watsons in another room yelling for him to put the golf club down and to let him get a napkin to kill it. I dont know why i keep thinking of better versions of this movies scenes lol

Hell, Mel Brooks pulled off a film set in the Victorian era ... producing The Elephant Man.

@@henith7850 I still believe Elf is the only good Ferrell movie.

@@henith7850 Probably because in Elf, Will Ferrell was the only truly insane character in that movie. Everyone else balanced out his character by being more rational, even the elves were more serious in their own weird way. The mail room scene was one of the only times the other character played along with Buddy and that was because alcohol had a part in it.

And on the other hand John C. Riley is on the other spectrum, he plays an idiot but has incredible range.

Didnt Britain make that Nazi concentration camp sitcom thay was god awful and immediatly brought down? It's an american thing yes, but its not just americas thing nor is it exclusively an american issue. Remember, Airplane was also American and the film was beat for beat a great comedy. It just depends on the creative minds in charge, whos style and quality fluxtuates indiscriminately by location. Americans really hold the high bar for musical story telling, animation (Alongside Japan) and crime drama. I will happily admit that the british thrive with nearly all forms of comedy on the big screen and they are especially good at war films as well. Its just like music taste, where it really depends on what the region seems to like best. Brits got the best rockstars (Beatles, Queen, bowie) where Americans got the best folkstars. (Bob Dylan, John Denver, Paul Simon) And there are certain genres both countries thrive in, such as Fantasy Horror and Sci Fi - the big trio. (Music wise being pop of course haha) When it comes to mystery, i think it depends. I think britain pulls off good whodunnits and murder mysteries best, where Americans pull off crime mysteries and noir great.

What a waste.

They cast. The "ed" is unnecessary.

And did it again in Enola Holmes.

I agree for the most part; I just wanted to point out, regarding "a genius", a big part of the books, if you look carefully, is that Holmes _isn't_ a genius; he isn't operating by talent, but by observational and reasoning skills that he's worked long and hard at to develop. In fact, he even gets annoyed whenever, after explaining his methods, Watson refers to it as remarkable or genius. He's even happy to be outsmarted, as he always feels that he has more to learn.

@@matthewmuir8884 Meh, the ability to work meticulously and have enough observational skill IS already a talent. It requires curiosity to develop any cognitival skill because otherwise you get bored to a point where advancing is simply impossible. With physical skills you can still train them through repetition, even when they get boring. But mental tasks don´t work that way, at least not if they require creativity, which Sherlocks work does require. So yeah, he is a genius. Because if he wasnt then no amount of work could improve him to where he is mentally.

Batman is the best detective

@@SangerZonvolt Okay. True. I was just saying that the books go out of their way to empathize that he isn't the amazing talented mega-genius that a lot of modern adaptations like to portray him as; that his skills come down to a lot of hard work and dedication. There's even a short story where the whole point of it is that his deduction turns out to be completely wrong and he takes it as a learning opportunity; telling Watson to remind him of this case if he ever seems like he's becoming arrogant or overconfident about a deduction.
