Fannish Items of Interest
Over at 221b_bakerst, people are discussing who they see as their Sherlock Holmes. For me, I would say Jeremy Brett is the best one. But other than him, I picture Christopher Eccleston or Peter Wingfield as Holmes.
David Tennant may have been cast in a movie called Burke and Hare. Going by the description, I would definitely watch it.
Ivan Reitman is on board for Ghostbusters 3. That’s everyone coming back except for Sigourney Weaver, then. I'm hoping Louis Tully won't be around for it, too.
For![[community profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/community.png)
yuletide, I’m going to update the list of fandoms to try to nominate:
The Librarian trilogy
Dark Shadows
Being Human
Merlin (probably too big, but I’ll find out)
Back to the Future trilogy
Ghostbusters
The Real Ghostbusters
The Addams Family (movies only)
Xena: Warrior Princess
Hercules: The Legendary Journeys
Eureka
Warehouse 13
Space Cases
Fright Night
Dracula: The Series
Sherlock Holmes
Frankenstein, by Mary Shelley
Dracula, by Bram Stoker
The Mummy trilogy
Psych
Monk
Forever Knight
Pushing Daisies
Fables (the Willingham comic)
Grimm's Fairy Tales
The Princess Bride (movie)
Castle
The Middleman
Eastwick
Wonderfalls
Life on Mars (UK version)
She-Wolf of London
The Secret World of Alex Mack
Galaxy Quest
American Gods, by Neil Gaiman
The Adventures of Pete and Pete
Jack of All Trades (with Bruce Campbell; short-lived series)
Queen of Swords (with Valentine Pelka, and Peter Wingfield)
National Treasure (both movies)
Mystery Science Theater 3000
3rd Rock From The Sun (just discovered this on TV Land, and I think I like it)
Escape to Witch Mountain (1995)
Robin Hood (BBC series)
Jekyll (the series with James Nesbitt)
Sanctuary
ReBoot
Sliders
Shadow Raiders
If anyone can think of any others for me to add, go ahead and suggest them. A few of them I’ve never seen/haven’t watched much of (Sanctuary, Wonderfalls, Pushing Daisies, and Forever Knight) but I can still try to nominate them if nobody else does. Doctor Who/Torchwood, Buffyverse, Star Trek, X-Men, and Batman aren’t eligible. And since Highlander and Good Omens each have a Secret Santa going on, they aren’t either.
In other news, I’m currently checking around to see if there are any other haunted houses in the area--ones that aren’t as horrible as Toxic Halloween turned out to be. I’ll be checking around to see if Oller’s Oddities is going to be at the Adult Easter Seals Center again. They change their name (they’ve also been Mill Massacre, and Circus of Horrors) and location every year, so it’s tough to track them.
