I have nothing of note to add to this. I think I agree with you on most points... I think. I can't remember. Wait, yes yes I do. I like your brain, it's like my brain. Or like my brian if I used it more often. :P
However! This is what I am going to comment on: As a complete side note: Benedict has to work on his fake violin playing a little. As a violin player, I did cringe a bit. For the most part he's good though, and it's remarkably hard to fake, so I do give him points for the effort.
I can tell you now, his acting in this bit was THE BEST THING EVER if the last fake playing of an instument you saw was done by a Bollywood actor. I love Shahrukh Khan a lot, but nothing is worse than seeing him fake-play an instrument, especially a violin. :P
