steampunk

Where am I when all the cool stuff is originally coming out?  I totally missed The Secret Adventures of Jules Verne.  Hullo. 

Of course it's not like I go looking for the cool stuff.  I'd spend all my time watching TV.  Then I wouldn't have time to read fanfic about the cool stuff. 

(But why is Fogg's wife not the Indian princess?)

Airships are so damn cool. I want to go on one! And I want them generally howevering menacingly around the skies of the cities of the world...

Eor used to work next to the Hood offices in Charlestown Mass. where they had their blimp tied up when it wasn't out doing it's thing. I heard it crashed a couple of months ago. *sigh*

STEAMPUNK. *Flails at you with glee* I have nothing useful to add.

I know! I have the same reaction. :) I must look around and see if there's a steampunk & slash community. I healthy serving of steampunk with a side order of slash would be most satisfying.

Mmmm, I've heard about that but never seen it. I really should. I lurrrrve Around the World. Passepartout kicks all sorts of ass. Yay!

Passepartout really was the hero of the whole book, it was nuts - and let his boss take all the credit. It's a shame that the version with Jackie Chan apparently sucked, because I thought the role was made for Jackie Chan.

And then pretty-pretty Michael Praed as Philleas Fogg.
