Thanks for the advice....

...on the movie stuff.  Mere is resigned to not seeing Sherlock Holmes, and hoped we could see it ourselves, and is probably going to go see Avatar in 3D early on New Year's Day.

Old enough for Sherlock Holmes

[kurt_erichsen]

I'll try not to make any broad statements about a movie I haven't seen, but what I've heard about the new Sherlock Holmes movie just makes me ask why bother? If you want Sherlock Holmes, why not read Doyle's rather than see any Hollywood interpretation? Or if you must go video, Jeremy Brett

Netflix online has the Jeremy Brett set, and I'd like to go through that myself. I think the Victorian prose strangles her.

She's found via Harry Potter that the movies are only a pale shadow of the books. She's working her way through HP4 right now for school credit.

I try to interest, not push.

Jim, I found you through a friend's journal. I think you may know some other folks I know also

Thanks for the posting. I mean, I'll try her on the written Holmes stuff, but as I said, she chokes on the Victorian language.

Happy New Year!

(in other news, Mere isn't bothered by loud and large explosions? or the implication that, if one can change their appearance, one can be accepted by another culture?)
