Basil Rathbone yay

[gwynnega]

TCM is in the midst of a Basil Rathbone marathon. I wish I'd caught more of it--and so does my inner ten-year-old who had a massive crush on Rathbone back in the pre-video days when I had to comb the TV Guide for Rathbone films (and record the audio on cassette tape!). (Writing that sentence makes me feel old.)

Right now I'm watching The Hound of the Baskervilles. Basil Rathbone will always be my Sherlock Holmes (though I'm very fond of Arthur Wontner). Next up, The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes!

This weekend I've fiddled with a potential new opening for the Jo book, read Georgette Heyer and some of Larry McMurtry's book called Books, watched The Lives of Others (fantastic), and ended up watching The Rocky Horror Picture Show (which I've seen many times) on late-night cable...

I wish I'd known!

(Although I spent today climbing around granite bedrock and phyllite beaches, so I cannot really complain . . .)

Well, in your time zone you can still catch Captain Blood and Tales of Terror!
