150th Birthday, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle
2009-05-22
The game is still afoot. Today is the 150th anniversary of the birth, on Picardy Street in Edinburgh, Scotland, of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, creator of Sherlock Holmes. Doyle died in 1930, but Holmes and Dr. Watson live on.

#3  It sounds like one of those spots they did on Animaniacs, "Good Idea, Bad Idea..."

"Robert Downey Jr. As Sherlock Holmes... Good Idea. Guy Ritchie Directing Anything... Bad Idea."

#2  ...And Holmes returns to the big screen later this year with Robert Downey, Jr., as the Great Detective. The trailers look like a cross between Raiders Of The Lost Ark and The League Of Extraordinary Gentlemen, but it should still be fun.
