<br />
Well, the <a href="http://www.bsiweekend.com/">Baker Street Irregulars weekend</a> is upon us! Hundreds of Sherlock Holmes enthusiasts will converge upon New York in an annual ritual that has its origins all the way back in 1934.<br />
<br />
The unofficial headquarters of the weekend is the <a href="http://www.algonquinhotel.com/">Algonquin Hotel</a>, home of the famed <a href="https://amzn.to/2Zv8fa1" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Algonquin Round Table</a><img alt="" border="0" height="1" src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=thebakerstree-20&l=btl&camp=213689&creative=392969&o=1&a=1419670417" style="border: none !important; margin: 0px !important; padding: 0px !important;" width="1" />, about which <a href="https://amzn.to/2HxMzEa" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">much</a><img alt="" border="0" height="1" src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=thebakerstree-20&l=btl&camp=213689&creative=392969&o=1&a=1440151520" style="border: none !important; margin: 0px !important; padding: 0px !important;" width="1" /> has been <a href="https://amzn.to/2NKKKaC" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">written</a><img alt="" border="0" height="1" src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=thebakerstree-20&l=btl&camp=213689&creative=392969&o=1&a=0806509473" style="border: none !important; margin: 0px !important; padding: 0px !important;" width="1" />. We'll be spending plenty of time in the lobby, as well as running from meal to meal and catching up with those we haven't seen in a while.<br />
<br />
You can also follow along on Twitter, as we use the "hashtag" (that's a pound sign in front of an acronym) <b>#bsiweekend</b>. Expect to get the news of the newest investitured members of the Baker Street Irregulars on Twitter as they're announced.<br />
<br />
If you can't be with us in person, we hope you're with us in spirit. This is an exciting time for Holmesians everywhere. It's amazing how much we'll be able to share through the power of the web.<br />

Episode 21: Sherlock Holmes at the Movies (Part 1)

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2563/4181741699_0789e76339_m.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2563/4181741699_0789e76339_m.jpg" /></a></div>
Well, it's been in the news quite frequently lately. The new Sherlock Holmes movie has brought new life to the literary franchise we all know and love.<br />
<br />
But Holmesians have a number of questions: how is it? Does Robert Downey, Jr. make a decent Holmes? Is the "bromance" just a little too much for the purists? Will those raised on Rathbone be able to stand the latest reincarnation?<br />
<br />
To help us answer these questions and perhaps raise a few more, Scott and Burt are joined in this episode by Sherlockian film critic David F. Morrill, BSI ("Count Von Kramm"), a man who owns as many as 10,000 movies - some of which are actually worth watching. David helps us discern what makes a good cinematic Holmes, shares his picks of the best film editions of <a href="http://www.blogger.com/%3Ca%20href=%22http://www.amazon.com/gp/redirect.html?ie=UTF8&location=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.amazon.com%2Fs%3Fie%3DUTF8%26x%3D0%26ref_%3Dnb%255Fss%26y%3D0%26field-keywords%3D%2526%252334%253BThe%2520Sign%2520of%2520Four%2526%252334%253B%26url%3Dsearch-alias%253Ddvd&tag=thebakerstree-20&linkCode=ur2&camp=1789&creative=390957%22%3EThe%20Sign%20of%20Four%3C/a%3E%3Cimg%20src=%22https://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=thebakerstree-20&l=ur2&o=1%22%20width=%221%22%20height=%221%22%20border=%220%22%20alt=%22%22%20style=%22border:none%20!important;%20margin:0px%20!important;%22%20/%3E">The Sign of the Four</a>, and shares his opinion on how Downey stacks up while dressing down.<br />
