I kind of liked the first film. Not as a Sherlock Holmes film though - the "mystery" wasn't really that intriguing - but I enjoyed watching it.

I want to post one of Sir Terry, too. He's probably my favourite author and he sure does love his hats.
Makes me wish I bought my Fed IV in black. Maybe I'll buy a black Deluxe someday...
These two Finnish artists are some of my favourite artists ever:
