Two Questions

I'm still percolating a post on the 50 Shades of Grey phenomenon and erotica in general, but I'm not ready to hit 'publish' on that just yet.

In the meantime, two questions:

1.  Has anybody else read Gone Girl?  And, if so, did the ending make you want to write vicious hate mail to the author or did you like it? 

2.  The modern day Sherlock Holmes' CBS show on the fall line up, "Elementary" - is this a remake of BBC's Sherlock, or is this something separate entirely? 

That is all. 

ZD

Elementary: It's something else entirely. ALso a modern re-setting, but with a gender-swap as well: Joan Watson instead of John, played by Lucy Liu. AFAIK there's no connection.

There's a lot of preemptive hating on it over on Tumblr, but I personally plan to watch and enjoy, on the theory that you can't have too many Sherlocks.

Elementary is something else than BBC's Sherlock. I watched the pilot at Comic Con, and there's potential for something, though I can't tell quite what right now.

I'm VERY curious to read your 50 Shades thoughts...my thoughts aren't what I thought they would be.
