In the Guy Ritchie / RDJ version, Watsons admonishes him for experimenting with something used for "eye surgery" - which was one of the early medical uses of cocaine.

That trailer calls it an "original series" with a straight face. It also says it starts June 20, which isn't this Sunday (more like 2 Sundays after that).

Cynic
Obnoxious hipster threadjack: Judah Friedlander (i.e. "Frank" from 30 Rock) who's in that DMB video played the lead in the "Eagle vs. Shark" when it was workshopped at Sundance.
FWIW, Homer described Menelaus and Achilles as red-headed.
