The latest Sherlock Holmes movie is over two hours of solid fanservice. My one critique is that they [spoilered] [spoiler] at the beginning (if/when you see it, you'll know exactly what I'm talking about) but the rest of the movie is just one awesome bit after another.
(It is apparently the weekend of "hey, there are movies in the theater that I actually want to see," go figure.)

Methanol can cause destruction of the optic nerve in quantities as low as 10mL, and is potentially fatal at doses of 30mL (and "usually fatal" at doses of 80-150mL). My dad the chemical engineer tells the story of a chemical plant in Russia that used to wash its pipes at night with ethanol. The night-shift drunks figured this out and would secretly siphon off and drink some of it. One night, the plant was out of ethanol, so they used methanol. Five people died.
