Daughter is off to a party in - God help me - her little black party dress and 3in heels.
Worrying times for any father of a young girl! My daughter is only 8 so I have a few years to go before I have to worry about that kind of thing. Can't say I'm looking forward to it though...

I'm a Yakima fan myself, but Thule makes good stuff. I just like keeping it in the US if I can... (I've been using Yakima roof racks since the early '80's - and have never driven my bike into any overhanging object).

RE: The Thread!!!
Oh yeah... I had some friends who had a beautiful Old Town Canadienne 17' canoe. It had a Kevlar hull, mahoghany gunwhales and ash seats. Absolutely gorgeous... so much so that they didn't want to take it into any whitewater because it could get scratched. I was thinking that as a kevlar hulled canoe it would handle rocks better than a fibreglass one.

Jeremy Brett forever!
Brett was the best of the Holmes portrayers, I think. He had the benefit of writers who tried to stay close to "the canon" when crafting episodes. Too bad he couldn't have stayed healthy for awhile longer.
Who did you like better as Watson, Burke or Hardwicke?
Rathbone had the "look," but also the misfortune of working with lesser material not particularly well rooted in the original. Those WWII-based episodes take the whole Holmes thing out of its proper context. And the Nigel Bruce Watson? Please. The best moment of the Rathbone movies for me was his song-and-dance schtick in "The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes."
I did like this new movie, in the same way many have mentioned, as an entertaining, but not faithful, rendering. I suppose you've got to have action these days to draw an audience.
Two problems: the villain (and, hence, the plot) was silly and uninteresting, and the Irene Adler paste-on job? Please.
Put my faith in the people
And the people let me down.
So, I turned the other way,
And I carry on anyhow.

I thought the villain was pretty silly too, but hey-ho, it's a two-hour Hollyweird production, rather than a one-hour British TV movie.
Hardwicke was the better of the previous Watsons. Law did a good job within the context of the new movie.
