May. 28th, 2010 01:54 pmToday, because of Memorial Day and the library's ridiculous flex time holiday schedule thing, I am not going to work until 4:15. We close at 6.
So very silly.
But! I have been filling my extra hours of leisure time today with crocheting and watching Sherlock Holmes via Netflix on my computer. Speaking of things that are silly:
Dear the people who made the Granada Sherlock Holmes,
What in the name of all that's holy made you think it was a good idea to film Creeping Man? Really? You wanted to do the one with monkey transformation? Really?
I mean, okay, I totally watched it because a) it was there, b) I have an odd fascination with adaptations of the bad stories in the canon*, c) it had Lestrade in it**, and d) monkey transformations, but that does not in any way excuse the fact that you thought filming it in the first place was a good idea. It has been established that I have no taste, after all.
I suppose I should be happy you didn't take it into your head to do Lion's Mane.
Monkey transformations. Wow.
*And hell, the BBC Radio version of Lion's Mane is one of my favorites in that series. The fact that they managed that is probably due to someone selling their soul to the devil or something, though.
**Heh, the last scene where Holmes is handing Lestrade some of the monkey serum (!) because it's evidence, Lestrade has this marvelous expression like, "...okay, this is the most ridiculous case I have ever been involved it, I am going to blame you for it, Mr Holmes, and we will never speak of this again. I am totally leaving now, to go home and think of something that involves neither you nor monkeys."
