Totally lazy Sunday. Slow morning cooking at the hospice, so caught up on magazines. Then made lunch, watched "Gilmore Girls," vegged.

@ Totally forgot about "Fern Gully"! You're right. There's a little "Starship Troopers" in "Avatar," too.

@ I'm fine with them being updated and adapted. But those Holmes society folks are probably busting veins in their foreheads.

@ Those great Jeremy Brett versions from the '80s are on DVD. Probably the most-faithful to Conan Doyle's stories.

@ The really fascinating ones are the WWII propaganda films, like "Sherlock Holmes in Washington," or "The Voice of Terror."

@ Most of them are about an hour long (I think they were made to be the second half of double features), and very tight.

@ This fall I've rewatched all those old 1930s/40s versions with Basil Rathbone and Nigel Bruce. Really lovely.

@ Think I will instead console myself with "Hound of the Baskervilles," which I DVR'd on TCM yesterday. Perfect entertainment.

@ The more I read about "Holmes," the less likely it is to even find its way into my Netflix queue. Maybe just for Downey Jr.

@ Saw "Avatar" yesterday at Roseway. Great deal: $9 in digital 3D, comfy seats. Regal's charging $13.50 for it.

"Avatar": 70% "Dances W/Wolves", 5% "Matrix", 5% "Aliens", only 20% new plot. What a sorry script for such a beautifully made film.
