Around the World in 80 Days (2022)

[Story]

PBS starting on Sunday, January 2, 2022 at 8/7c.



The woman is apparently a Nellie Bly-type character, the American reporter who circumnavigated the world IRL in 1890 in an effort to beat Verne's fictional character's record. She did it in 72 days, taking time to even meet with Jules Verne during the French leg of her trip.

  That's gonna be some kind of FUN 

[Jeff Michel]

1956 remake, to make a woman the central character instead of David Niven. Hard pass, more political engineering, tired of their crap.

Well Then

Just ignore it Jeff.  We won't miss ya atall

Yeah, that person's other two posts also suspect, also reported.

[Hair Trigger Jim]

Yep, dead giveway on yesterday's post is saying they liked the character Nellie Bly...who isn't in this show and was referenced for comparison.

[Major 2]

This was not the only AI reported today

there is this guy too  fragiledead -  in The Shootin' Range

[Abilene]

I wasn't too sure about fragiledead - his(?) post didn't look as much like the AI posts as some do.  Sure have been a crapload of AI "users" getting onto this site, though.

BTW, I just noticed that there was also a 2004 remake of Around the World in 80 Days starring Jackie Chan.  Pretty heavy on the comedy, I'm sure.  Anybody see that one?

Well Then

Just ignore it Jeff.  We won't miss ya atall 

Coffinmaker, Jeff has a low post count but has been here since 2020, so I expect he is a real person  .

[Jeff Michel]

Yes, I'm a real person. Mostly listen, seldom comment. There are certain things that will get me to make a comment, but not many. Generally speaking I tend to be positive and helpful if I can but under certain circumstances, hard to keep my yap shut.
Have a blessed day to all.

[Coffinmaker]

OK.  Good to Know
