Watch The Sherlock Holmes Trailer! Elementary, My Dear Watson!

Watch The Sherlock Holmes Trailer! Elementary, My Dear Watson! Robert Downey Jr. is Sherlock Holmes...
Our inspectors are baffled by the mystery of it: somehow, our favourite Victorian hero was mistaken for Inspector Gadget. Guy Ritchie resurrects London's drug-reliant super-detective and ditches his deerstalker hat for ninja skills and fruity dialogue. Accompanied by Watson (Jude Law), a plot involving the occult and other destructive powers sends Mr. Holmes on a mission fraught with explosions, bare-knuckle boxing and ridiculous acrobatics.
Robert Downey Jr Signs For The Disappointing Third Iron Man Film

Robert Downey Jr Signs For The Disappointing Third Iron Man Film Robert Downey Jr knows a good thing when he sees it - like handguns, lots of Class A drugs and movies directed by Guy Ritchie.
OK OK OK, so Robert Downey Jr doesn't know a good thing when he sees it. Probably seven out of ten times he knows a good thing when actually he sees a rubbish thing. But Robert Downey Jr does know what things will make him richer than his wildest dreams, and he chases those things like a dog.
According to reports, Robert Downey Jr has signed a contract securing him to Iron Man 3 and an Avengers movie. This is particularly good news for anyone who, while enjoying the original Iron Man, really wants to see Iron Man get overtaken by an alien, grow an evil haircut and then dancing the Twist with Kirsten Dunst while cooking some eggs. For Superhero Law states that all of the above must happen in Iron Man 3.
Tropic Thunder Beats The Dark Knight Thanks to Blacked-up Retards

Tropic Thunder Beats The Dark Knight Thanks to Blacked-up Retards Well it certainly took long enough but The Dark Knight has finally fallen, to the might of Tropic Thunder and its wall of controversy.
While we all thought we would have to live in a world where no other films would ever get anywhere near The Dark Knight - a world where daily recitals of The Joker's best speeches were made to be recited every morning in our schools, where every car is replaced with a Batmobile and where Morgan Freeman is elected King of Everything (with Christian Bale as his alleged muscle, obviously) - we have been proven wrong.
We worried for a while, but fortunately the 'Greatest Film of All Time(tm)' has been dethroned by Ben Stiller, Jack Black and a blacked-up Robert Downey Jr. And it's sure to make the latter quite happy about it.
Christian Bale Assault Charges Result in Ultimate Punishment. That, or Just a Caution

Christian Bale Assault Charges Result in Ultimate Punishment. That, or Just a Caution Christian Bale looks likely to get away with allegedly pushing his mum about, if he pleads guilty to assault.
The Welshman, who no one seems to realise is Welsh, has been recommended to receive a caution by the Crown Prosecution Service for his alleged actions, should he plead guilty to charges next month. If, however, he pleads not guilty then he could be looking at more severe penalties, all according to the bastion of truth, honour and glory that is The Sun newspaper.
Though, let's be honest here - he probably wouldn't be looking at any really severe charges. A fine, a slap on the wrist and a bruised ego, leaving the Baler ready to take on Terminator 4 and Batman 3. Unless the authorities were to decide on making an example of him and imprisoned him for life - alledgely pushing your mum and sister about is no laughing matter, after all.
Especially when they apparently want money from you.
Robert Downey Jr is Too Dumb to Understand The Dark Knight. His Words…

Robert Downey Jr is Too Dumb to Understand The Dark Knight. His Words… Robert Downey Jr was known for some things, then everyone forgot who he was, then they remembered again.
And now that the people of the world once again recognise Robert Downey Jr in the street - and now that he's likely off the smack and charlie - people are more likely to listen to him. So it comes as a nice big pile of fun when the man gets all ranty, decides he disagrees with just about everyone in the world and that he hates The Dark Knight, because it makes him feel 'dumb'.
For once we don't have to add much to that - it's simply what he said in an interview with Movie Hole.
Robert Downey Jr To Star In Poo-Sounding Guy Ritchie Movie

Robert Downey Jr To Star In Poo-Sounding Guy Ritchie Movie So you're Robert Downey Jr, perhaps the biggest movie star around right now. The world's your oyster - so what's your next move?
After the gigantic box office haul of Iron Man - one that's likely to be repeated once Tropic Thunder is released later this summer - Robert Downey Jr can star in any movie he wants. But what movie has Robert Downey Jr decided to star in? A Sherlock Holmes movie, that's what.
No, not the Sacha Baron Cohen/Will Ferrell Sherlock Holmes movie that was triumphantly announced earlier this week. Another Sherlock Holmes movie. A Sherlock Holmes movie where Sherlock Holmes is a musclebound action hero. A Sherlock Holmes movie where Sherlock Holmes is a musclebound action hero directed by Guy Ritchie. And there was us thinking that Robert Downey Jr had stopped taking drugs.

So, for the first time ever since breakfast, Robert Downey Jr. openly talks about his past drug abuse, and does so with a nice vocabulary. He also talks about some other stuff, like a movie he’s in that’s coming out soon, or something.
