i wish i had a superpower that enabled me to sh*t on people that i didn't like. Maybe even turn into a bird and swoop down and drop a brown bomb on some mofo.

See I only expressed how much I disliked the self absorbed english prick. Others are wishing him pain or near death, so go F*CK yourself Agent VIS. I was wrong about Jude Law you are the Douche. You're always sh*tting on everyone that has a different opinion than you. If you are the end all and know all of all things movies the maybe you should leave this site and start you're own. now f*ck off. Thanks for listening.

Rama's SCREEN
weren't there a time a few years back where in three years, all the movies you saw in theaters were all starring him?
I think he's good actor, but as a sidekick?! I don't know about that.

The guy below me needs to take his head out of his ass and listen to the sound of no one caring. He's a good choice for the role and with downey, law, and possibly russell crowe as the villain, this movie will have people in the seats...and f*ck the comedy version they're trying to pass off as a holmes satire

Jude Law is a self absorbed douch, that can't act but usually tries to take the lead in everything he does. Overshadowing great actors with his stench just lost my $10 bucks...
