― Arthur Conan Doyle, The Case-Book of Sherlock Holmes
“One likes to think that there is some fantastic limbo for the children of imagination, some strange, impossible place where the beaux of Fielding may still make love to the belles of Richardson, where Scott’s heroes still may strut, Dickens’s delightful Cockneys still raise a laugh, and Thackeray’s worldlings continue to carry on their reprehensible careers. Perhaps in some humble corner of such a Valhalla, Sherlock and his Watson may for a time find a place, while some more astute sleuth with some even less astute comrade may fill the stage which they have vacated.”

A zombie raccoon appears to have taken over my brother's kids' playhouse: “Most people don't believe something can happen until it already has."
-Max Brooks, World War Z: An Oral History of the Zombie War Okay, so this isn't technically from a theatrical release- rather from a series of made-for-TV movies adapted from the Horatio Hornblower books by C.S. Forester. After a couple days of tall ships in the harbour, I was thinking about this series and how much I enjoy it. This is the trailer from the first episode, entitled An Even Chance originally, and The Duel when released in the States. A couple of years ago I reviewed the first four Hornblower movies, including this one.
