LsDoorMat Posted April 2, 2021 Share Posted April 2, 2021 ... because then it would be over by now. I turn on the TV this morning to see what is on TCM and what do I find? The most perplexing Best Picture winner of all time - Around the World in 80 days. It feels like its running time is 80 days. It plays like so many James Fitzpatrick's Traveltalk shorts connected together by bad melodrama. Not even David Niven can save this thing. And it's not like I could go back to sleep, because it is so grating on my nerves that I am too annoyed to sleep. I hardly ever start new threads just so I can rant, so I feel like I'm due. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moe Howard Posted April 2, 2021 Share Posted April 2, 2021 Never could get through that movie. Loved The Great Race, which is kind of the same thing. But it had Professor Fate and those fantastic vehicles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skimpole Posted April 3, 2021 Share Posted April 3, 2021 Personally I wish conservatives never won another election in Mississippi and South Carolina, but you can't have everything. Also personally, Around the World in Eighty Days is one of my favorite Best Picture winners. It has a nice dry wit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
