tzikeh: (sherlock holmes)
[personal profile] tzikeh

As I've posted a few times before, there's this Sherlock Holmes movie coming out on Christmas. Thus far, there have been two trailers, with much the same footage, but enough differences to make it worth watching both. After the first one, I thought, this is going to be fun to slash, and after the second one I thought, well, they're kind of making it super-easy for us, aren't they.

So this morning, I see [livejournal.com profile] liviapenn post "OMG NEW SHERLOCK HOLMES TRAILER EVEN SLASHIER THAN BEFORE!" and I think, no, impossible. So I go to watch it, and at first my impression is "this is the second trailer. It's exactly the same. Maybe Livia missed it HOLY SLASHPECT RATIO, BATMAN, DID I JUST SEE THAT?!"

The movie isn't even auditioning to become "Your New Slash Fandom!" at this point; it's threatening us with physical harm if we don't do something slashy with it RIGHT THE FUCK NOW.



For those who can't see embedded Slash Flash objects, you can watch it here.

PS: [livejournal.com profile] melina123, don't worry about that one quick thing you see, because in the next scene it isn't and they wouldn't do that in this movie anyway. (Melina knows what I mean.)

PPS: If anyone can figure out how to, um, "attain" embedded flash movies, do drop me a line, won't you? (I have tried looking at the source code on the traileraddict page, and can't quite figure out how to get there.) I have VLC, and I'm pretty sure there's a way to do it, but I just can't figure it out.

Man, I gotta figure out how to dig into the code and grab these flash movies.

Wow.
I mean. Wow. That's....does that even COUNT as slash, when it's clearly canon?

Yeah - ABC: All But Canon.

Absolutely, you're right. They're hitting us over the head with it like that great big mallet.

Screw subtlty. Full speed ahead.

So: does this create another category? Canon slash?

Isn't it awesome to be, just for once, the demographic, that TPTB cater to?

Seriously. It's like a giant Brechtian arrow pointing to the trailer saying "SLASH HERE."

Oh my. For all my initial skepticism, I cannot wait for this movie. \o/

Oh yes, and there's this tutorial about grabbing streams from trailer addict, but I haven't tried it yet.

Have extracted video. Will upload for you now and send you link when finished. Might take some time since file a bit bigger and my upload speed is sucky.

YOUR AWESOMENESS CANNOT BE CONTAINED IN TEXT

(also can you explain to me how you did it?)

I have a Windows PC and followed the tutorial? Sorry, no secret Mac knowledge here. Also, the program from the tutorial is only a 30 day free trial, then you have to buy it, so it's not a perfect solution anyway.
The link will be http://helogale-parvula.de/media/SH_Trailer.rar

Give 15 more minutes to finish uploading.

I....

I - in all seriousness - rarely see slash. It's a missing genetic link, I think. But I don't.

This?

O.M.F.G. Even *I* see the slash here. ::squees::

AHAHAHHA! That's right! Yeah, I wouldn't expect that you'll be able to get one on Christmas Day, so you'll probably have to wait. But college kids are around between Christmas and New Years, and likely looking to make some pocket money....

Good grief, that's INSANE. I can't wait!!!

(Glad what seemed to happen didn't.)

In hilarious evil-twin fashion, there is another Sherlock Holmes film on its way... in which he fights GIANT MONSTERS.

I'm pretty sure I just watched an officially sanctioned slash vid. Pander to me more, plz!

(You know...It hasn't even aired yet, and I can already tell that this fandom is going to be AWESOME.)

eta: not aired, that's for tv. Um, I meant opened.

AWESOME. The slash will be epic.

And if you still need the downloaded trailer, I just snagged one. I use Video Download Helper, a Firefox widget: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/3006

Oh good. Because then I couldn't see it. And that would be unfortunate! And thank you for thinking of me :)

My overwhelming first response was, well, okay FIRST was OMG!Slash!!! I may actually have to break my personal habit of never seeing more than one movie in a theater in a given year.

But after that I was like, "Okay, *this* is how you prove that House and Wilson were predicated on Holmes and Watson."
