Um wow sir, if you find this movie as 'by far' a better representation of Holmes than the Ritchie film, it certainly confirms this alternate universe your living in and your borderline obsessive desire to hate a movie strictly to hate it. Again, ca…

Obviously Jeremy Brett is the best ever as Sherlock Holmes, but Ian Richardson did a very good job in "The Sign of the Four" and "The Hounds of the Baskervilles." His biggest problem was his age, but he played it with a cool sense of humour.

I met Jeremy (and Edward Hardwicke) several times. To me, in my younger days, Basil Rathbone was my ideal Holmes (no pun intended). I thought that Peter Cushing was also very good but JB simply "was" Sherlock Holmes and I have fond memories of him.

Technical problems, site glitches

Every time I write a blog this weird response always pops up. It looks like it could be another member of the site, but the pic is off. It kind of looks like someone put a hat and sunglasses on a squash and used it as a profile pic to be funny. The actual text looks exactly like my post but there are quotation marks all over the place, and every few sentences some random words are inserted. It looks like it may be in reference to the quoted sections but it is barely intelligible, almost as if a… Continue

Two hypothetical Holmes films

I think I may have the answer for all of the "purists" who won't stop crying over errors in continuity between the original books and Guy Ritchies action-oriented adaptation...Two of my very own proposals for Sherlock Holmes: The Movie!

People need to quit bitching about the new Holmes movie.

I find it odd that people are complaining about this movie being a bastardization of the source works. Would these same individuals kindly refer to the image of the dolt wearing the dearstalker cap and smoking a massive calabash pipe that has become synonymous with Sherlock Holmes. I don't recall one instance in which canonical Holmes is dressed like that, and yet all the purists don't have a problem embracing that at all.

The Guy Ritchie film may have had a week plot, but it is a perfectly acc… Continue

group England trip

We have been thinking about taking a trip to England, maybe even organizing a group. When you put a group trip together, we were wondering if International Travel Insurance is a good idea, even if some people already have Health Insurance. Any of you Holmes fans made the trip to England and used this sort of insurance. Was it worth the… Continue
