I've rented a ton of movies to watch this weekend while I'm doing art, and almost at the end of the recent version of Around the World in 80 Days, which has a certain stupid fun to it, although my copy of the etext of Verne's Around the World in 80 Days neglected to mention that Passepartout was Chinese and inexplicably left out the subplot involving Wong Fei Hung, the Ten Fighting Tigers and a stolen jade Buddha. Obviously, I must have accidentally downloaded the abridged edition.

I thought it was fun, too. Didn't regret seeing it, also didn't regret waiting for it to reach the second run theaters. :-)

:) I knew that eventually I'd watch it, because it had Jackie Chan in it and I'm a Jackie Chan fangirl. I didn't realize quite how much of a Chan vehicle it was, though. :)

I still want to see the original with Cantinflas as the valet. Supposedly, that was a hard performance to beat, and the guy was an amazing actor.
