So this time I'm putting it in my blog to make sure I can find it again.<\/p>\n<p>At some point, someone interviewed Jude Law about the Sherlock Holmes movies in which he co-starred with Robert Downey, Jr. <a href=\"http:\/\/sherlocksexualfrustrationblog.tumblr.com\/post\/1075188331\/jude-law-on-his-relationship-with-rdj-on-set\">The following exchange ensued<\/a>:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><b>Interviewer<\/b>: You had a bit of a bromance going on there.<\/p>\n<p><b>Jude Law<\/b>: What is this new term everyone's using? It's a horrible term. What about just a romance?<\/p>\n<p><b>Interviewer<\/b>: No, it's not the same. Because then you'd have to star in a romantic comedy together or something.<\/p>\n<p><b>Jude Law<\/b>: We just have. Have you not seen it?<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>(There's a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.tumblr.com\/tagged\/sherlock?before=1324948348\">variant<\/a> of that that's more detailed and less streamlined and thus is probably more accurate, but I think the above version works well, so I'll stick with that.)<\/p>\n<p>There's also a rather slashy <a href=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=smQdbeX10V8\">video<\/a> showing clips from (presumably) a different interview, in which Downey and Law have a great deal of fun talking about this stuff. But the above quote is the bit that I particularly want to be able to find, 'cause every time I hear the word &ldquo;bromance&rdquo; that's what comes to mind.<\/p>\n<p>One more quote while I'm here, this time from <a href=\"http:\/\/www.mtv.com\/news\/articles\/1604911\/robert-downey-jr-jude-law-talk-sherlock-holmes.jhtml\">Downey<\/a>: &ldquo;I think the word bromance is so pass&eacute;.
