Babel Clash

Based on what little of the new Holmes movie that we’ve seen in the trailer, it appears as if the supernatural plays some part.  Now, that may all turn out to be smoke & mirrors, but it does look to involve the occult in some way.  So, what’s your preference on the good doctor and the supernatural?  Do you prefer a game committed to deductive reasoning and cold, hard logic. or does a healthy dose of mysticism pose a suitable challenge for the genius detective?

John, after reading and editing so many Holmes stories, will you approach the movie with a different set of expectations?

Also, to all, feel free to jump over to the Borders Ink Facebook page and weigh in on which big December film you’re more excited to watch:  Sherlock Holmes or Avatar.
