*curls up and cries*
Aug. 22nd, 2003 01:59 pmI hate being the way I am sometimes... When my therapist said I was wrapping myself up too much in my fantasy world I didn't want to hear it. I wanted to leave to office and return to the things I liked doing... create stories, thinking about them... I wanted to do all the things she criticized. And it's times like this that I realize she's right. But I can't help it...
Here I am now, utterly depressed because I've just finished watching the episode "The Final Problem" where Sherlock Holmes meets his untimely and deservedly heroic end. Of course I know that a) Sherlock Holmes wasn't a real person, b) I can always reread and rewatch all the cases and it won't really make a difference and most importantly, c) he's not even dead, for crying out loud! He's of course returning!!! But I can't help it! I'm deeply moved and saddened and I just want to cry. And all that because I know that things won't be the same anymore. As much as I have fallen in love with Jeremy Brett as Sherlock Holmes I have taken the same affection to David Burke as Dr. Watson. And knowing that he won't be returning in his role drives me nuts. I liked him so much, his looks, his voice, the way he acted. I can't imagine Hardwicke being even remotely as magnificent. I know I should give him a chance, but hell... it saddens me. It seems to me as if not Sherlock Holmes was dead and to return, but Dr. Watson and irreversible died for me, for he will never be played by David Burke again.
*sighs sadly* I'm such a silly person... I wish I wasn't like that...

Ewan McGregor's 'Star Wars' Depression Led to Boozing
Movie star Ewan McGregor has admitted to binging on alcohol in order to cope with the depression brought on by his role in the Star Wars prequels. The Scottish actor saw his career skyrocket when he played the role of Obi-Wan Kenobi in the hit franchise, but soon felt the pressure of being an international movie star. This fueled the Moulin Rouge actor's hatred of the George Lucas- helmed movies - and he began drinking heavily to get through the intense publicity. Ewan admits, "I used to get drunk before meeting journalists. I thought it would get me through. But then it just leads to you saying things that you wished you'd never said - stupid things." But the father-of-two has now curbed his boozing ways, and is happy to be recognized as Obi-Wan by young fans. He says, "After Attack Of The Clones, I stopped drinking for interviews. Now, I'm very happy to do them, I really am. And I like being Obi-Wan Kenobi. I like it when kids speak to me about it because I remember being that way about the first three Star Wars films myself."
