I read The Seven Percent Solution about 30 years ago. I liked it at the time, and I thought it fit right in with the Holmes canon even though it really wasn’t canon at all. It might be worth a reread if I can ever find it again.
I had no idea it was a movie.
i haven’t seen it, but it’s Ian McKellen, so it’s bound to be worthwhile. he’s SO good.
You’re exactly right - not one of the best or funniest movies but it does have its hilarious moments.
I think Gene Wilder invented the second one, Sigersund, who always referred to his more famous brother as “Sheer Luck.”
Same for Gene Wilder’s “World’s Greatest Lover.”
Clearly the smarter Holmes!
I’ve read that Patriot will be renewed for a second season. I thoroughly loved the first, and am looking forward to the second. As strange and jarring as Mr. Robot, but dark comedy.
Still hanging on to The Walking Dead, but they may have finally lost me. The first episode of season 8 would likely have been the finale if someone had the sense to squeeze a trigger. Both this and Fear the Walking Dead practically bend over backwards to create scenarios that could have been circumvented by characters with subzero IQs.
Whatever season started with Neegan. I read the review of the first episode and knew I was done with the series.
I watched as much of that scene as I could stomach, and I was (and remain) done with Walking Dead.
On a lighter note, I just finished watching Blackstone on Netflix. It wasn’t always uplifting, but it was a really good show. The first episode was brutal, and I almost stopped. My SO watched the second episode and convinced me to keep going. I’m glad I did.
I just started the Deuce, which airs on HBO; and Stranger Things starts back up tomorrow…
I made it three whole episodes into that season and was done.
so excited for Stranger Things!
What rock have I been under?
(Probably the 40-hours put in at work by Wednesday rock, but still I should have had some Idea it would be around all hallow’s eve)
Between that and Sherlock, your questionable tastes may just be redeemable…
judge not, lest you be judged! amirite?? 
A co-worker recommended one of the videos on this channel to me, and I queued up about 20 when I got home. They’re all SF short films, all with great production values and stories.
I will have a look at that channel.
It was a bleak season, but it ends on a hopeful note.
I have two words (yelled during all seasons of the show): “Rally point!”
