Notes to self re: Sherlock Holmes radio plays:

- Put some indication of chronology in playlist title (are there iPods that allow sub-directories?)
- Import some more into iTunes so I don't memorize the dozen I have in there at the moment
- Eliminate the redundant 5 seconds between cuts 6 and 7 of Abbey Grange
- Find that darn violin piece someday
- It goes Retired Colourman/His Last Bow/Sarah Slean on loop for 2-3 hours. If you are not ready to complete this in its entirety, do not listen to The Retired Colourman.

P.S. Clive Merrison RULES – take that, Carleton Hobbes! ah-HA!
P.P.S. Bert Coules, I love you and your smart, subtle, confident storytelling. Exactly what I needed at the moment.

Re: Sherlock Holmes movie

[twirlynoodle.livejournal.com]

I've heard of the thing (keep hearing about it from concerned citizens) but that's the first I've seen of the trailer – on one hand I'm happy that it's so far removed from the original, because that means it'll be possible to enjoy it as long as I can shut my brain off whenever they say his name, but on the other I'm sad that it's a little bit less like Rutherford Lodge* than I was expecting it to be. Nice production design, though, and I hope (hope hope hope) that, like Wild Wild West, it'll bring back Little Sunglasses so the big ugly bug-eyed ones won't be the only option at the store anymore. (selfish, I know, but I like Little Sunglasses, and I go through them like kleenex.) Also I am a big fan of the rip-roaring Hans Zimmer score which, if it's the same one they have in the movie, I may add to my collection of Soundtracks Wot I Do Not Associate With A Movie But Are Fun On Their Own. And as I have ample warning that they are raping and eviscerating one of my favourite fictional characters I have plenty of time to practise my selective perception.

Clive Merrison is still the only Holmes for me, and they will never take him away. :D
