I don't think people are aware of the meta-ness of Sherlock Gnomes (2018).

The IMDb page for this film states that “Sherlock Gnomes was modelled after Basil Rathbone, who played Sherlock Holmes in fourteen movies between 1939 and 1946.” These films are of course eminent in the long line of Holmes adaptations, and it's no surprise that Rathbone and Bruce were used as models in contemporary adaptations. Their modelling goes beyond simply their appearances, however.

Paramount's film directly opposes the characterisation set up by the Rathbone saga, of their bumbling Bruce-Watson alongside the omnipotent Rathbone-Holmes (to say that these films are lacking in friendship would be quite false). Sherlock Gnomes takes this dynamic (while somewhat embellishing it) and directly opposes it, pleading justice for Watson's intelligence, while also bringing to light the character flaws in Doyle's Holmes. While I have nothing against Bruce-Watson personally, I agree it doesn't feel a spitting portrait of his source material, and so this film takes a perfectly fair stance in wanting to right the poor reputation Watson has received on screens.

And the only people who have any interest or appreciation for this film are Holmesians like us! God bless Sherlock Gnomes ♥ ♥

If I had a nickel for every time Stephen Merchant was associated with the word nepotism, I’d have three nickels.

Which isn’t a lot, but it’s weird that it happened three times.

why do i get the feeling quite a few of you either were or would be obsessed with the deranged little menace that is Moriarty from Sherlock Gnomes 😂
