So the rumor's been bouncing about for awhile that Guy Ritchie's amped up the sexual tension (and possibly more) between Sherlock and Watson in his Sherlock Holmes movie. And today via Towleroad comes a nice slice of homo-panic from the incompetent non-critic Michael Medved, who had this to say on the possibility:
"There's not a seething, bubbling hunger to see straight stars impersonating homosexuals. I think they're just trying to generate controversy . . . They know that making Holmes and Watson homosexual will take away two-thirds of their box office. Who is going to want to see Downey Jr. and Law make out? I don't think it would be appealing to women. Straight men don't want to see it."
