Oooooooh, now I get how Sherlock survived. That’s not as difficult as I though it would be.

“The Adventure of Silver Blaze” 1892.
“The Great Game” 2010.
I actually underlined this when I read the story. It says: ‘I lay back against the cushions, puffing at my cigar, while Holmes, leaning forward, with his long, thin forefinger checking off the points upon the palm of his left hand, gave me a sketch of the events which had led to our journey.’
That’s such a Sherlock thing for House to text to Wilson.
YES PLEASE MAKE THIS HAPPEN.

I wouldn’t mind to play with HIS props, if you know what I mean…
Appropriately enough, this was the 1,000th post I liked.

New additions to movie collection
I had some leftover lolly, as Tim Wonnacott from Bargain Hunt likes to say, ‘cause my gran gave my some cash for my birthday last year. So when I went shopping last Tuesday, I paid a little visit to one of my favourite shops. 10 new films acquired:
- The Shining
- A Clockwork Orange
- 2001: A Space Odyssey
- To Be or Not to Be
- The Birds
- A.I.: Artificial Intelligence
- Fracture
- Reservation Road (because I saw it once, liked it and it was cheap)
- Terror By Night, which is a Sherlock Holmes film with the wonderful Basil Rathbone. I bought it basically because I’m still shattered by last Sunday’s Sherlock episode and I need something Sherlock-y to watch in this black hole of depression which will probably last until the first episode of the third series.
You might’ve noticed there are only nine films mentioned above. You’re quite right. What’s the other one? you might ask. Well, in The Netherlands we have something called the ‘Oudejaarsconference’. Each year, a Dutch comedian writes a show about news topics and so on from the past year. He or she (usually he) performs it quite a few times during the last months of the year, and one of these performances is taped and broadcast on New Year’s Eve. My favourite Dutch comedian is a lovely man called Youp van ‘t Hek, and in 2005 he wrote Het zelfmoordcommando (which means ‘The Suicide Command’), the best one I’ve seen of his. So that was the tenth one I bought.
I have questions.

Most people blunder around this city, and all they see are streets and shops and cars. When you walk with Sherlock Holmes, you see the battlefield. You’ve seen it already, haven’t you?
