    I'm a huge fan, too. I'd replace "Only You" with "Restoration" as one of RDJ's best performances, though. I really enjoyed "Sherlock Holmes," but my family hated it. It's fine if your expectations are reasonable. It's a big, shiny action flick, not a faithful adaptation of the source material. Also, I hated Rachel McAdams and Kelly Reilly.

    Glee

    Golden Globe nominations are out. Matthew Morrison, Lea Michele, and the fabulous Jane Lynch all were recognized. Glee was also nominated for best series, musical or comedy. It's great to see such an original show get the recognition it deserves! http://www.billboard.com/news/glee-mccartn...004053725.story

    Betsy-Tacy books

    I loved the Betsy-Tacy books. I introduced my daughter to them and she read every one she could get her hands on. They were hard to find for a while but they were reissued a few years ago.

    Alyson Hannigan & Alexis Denisof

    Did you see Monday's episode (2/2)? They very cleverly hid her pregnancy in plain sight. I won't spoil it but it was very funny.

    Christian Bale

    Sounds to me like more of an anger management problem. Remember the story last year of how he went off on his mother and sister before the London premier of "The Dark Knight?"

    Right there with you, gingersnap. He sounds exactly like my friend Matt when he's using. Not a good thing. RDJ sounds like that a lot. He seemed pretty normal on Leno the other night -- Leno kept wanting to talk about his dad and his dropping out of high school in the 11th grade, and Robert just did not seem to want to discuss it, but he went along. Other times, you read interviews with him and you really feel like the whole thing was translated from the Martian.

    On the cover of the current issue of Rolling Stone: The Man Who Wasn't There Robert Downey Jr. has made the leap from tortured rebel to leading man. So why does he feel he's "still not human"? It's too long to copy the entire thing. Also, the full article is not online, only about 3 pages. Here's a quote: If anyone can translate, feel free.

    Robert Downey Jr.

    From Holy Moly: ROBERT DOWNEY JR DECIDES NOT TO WRITE MEMOIRS Overwhelming media attention directed towards Hollywood stars means we are now experiencing a series of characterless, dull actors walking the red carpets. Are there really many movie actors whose autobiography you'd like to read? Keanu Reeves' thoughts on acting techniques? Brad Pitt and George Clooney co-editing a political diatribe about the situation in Darfur? Snooze. James Woods is one obvious exception, but his creepy voice might leak onto the pages and make every paragraph make you feel uncomfortable. So it was wonderful news in 2006 that Harper Collins announced that they would be publishing the autobiography of Robert Downey Jr, promising a warts-and-all expose and dealing fully with his drug taking and his wonderful knack of falling out with most people in the film industry. So it was a sad announcement yesterday when Downey Jr (and has anyone seen anything that Downey Sr has made? 'Putney Swope' anyone?) has returned the substantial advance he had been given to his publisher. Downey's PR refused to comment on why this might be and why Robert is refusing to write his memoirs. It's one of two reasons: he'd either be arrested the minute it was published because of the content; or, more likely, he can't remember a fucking thing for most of the Eighties and Nineties. My bet's on the latter. I'd probably still buy it, though.

    For some weird reason, a week or two ago my daughter and I were discussing who would make a great Sherlock Holmes and we agreed on Hugh Laurie. However, I absolutely believe RDJ can do anything and I'm really looking forward to this. He's smart enough to be believable and he can do an excellent British accent (see "Restoration"). Question: Will the film touch on Holmes' cocaine use? 'Cause that could get really interesting.
