Am attempting to watch the 1989 Around The World With Eighty Days with Pierce Brosnan and Eric Idle. (I mean they're in it, not that they're sharing the sofa with me, cats, rubbish etc). IT IS TEH SUXX0R ZOMG. Brosnan is perfect casting as Fogg as neither one ever displays any form of facial expression but OMG NOTHING IS HAPPENING. The whole point of the story is the desperate haste and this miniseries is all about DAWDLING. Even Mr Brosnan's awesome posture (and it is awesome) is not enough to hold my interest.

(French writer; English character, Irish actor; French character, English actor. It's like The Moonbase, or any of those futuristic stories made in the sixties which are International because they have a French guy and a Scottish guy or something.)

I haven't watched that in AGES (the tapes are sitting on my bottom shelf as I type this), and it's one of the very first thigns I want to convert from video to DVD once I get a new toy what does that. Just becasue I ♥ Brosnan as Fogg like whoa. Up until Michael Praed, Brosnan was the only actor who'd ever made me think of Fogg as sexy. (As bad as SAoJV was, I loved Praed as Fogg just becasue he was such an unapologetic bastard most of the time, and I found that fun).
