Author Message   Stou Posted on Wednesday, May 24, 2006 - 07:32 pm:        I just ordered this DVD from Amazon.com, "Long way round". It's a documentary about a trip around the world by Ewan McGregor. Look very interesting and the review are good. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000BOH99A/ref=pd_rvi_gw_1/102-2579672-2627356? %5Fencoding=UTF8&v=glance&n=130 Is someone has seen this movie?   Garp Posted on Wednesday, May 24, 2006 - 07:42 pm:        Yes, It is pretty good. They had a support crew, but they still went through some pretty extreme challenges. I think I have watched it 3 times through. The sections through Eastern Europe and Russia are fascinating. The last episode or two where they are in the US is a little weak, and I could have lived without the Tuttles making an appearance   Bake Posted on Wednesday, May 24, 2006 - 08:58 pm:        Seen parts of it, plan on ordering myself   Natexlh1000 Posted on Wednesday, May 24, 2006 - 10:43 pm:        I read the book and it was great! At the end, there is a DETAILED itinirary and a DETAILED listing of supplies used on the trip. A real eye-opener. I thought it was a mini-series though.   Swampy Posted on Wednesday, May 24, 2006 - 11:07 pm:        What about "Boondock Saints"????? Rev limiters only work on the way up!   Prior Posted on Wednesday, May 24, 2006 - 11:12 pm:        Read the book and have seen the movie a few times, book is better than the movie for stories, but the movie is great for pics and adds to the story, once you've read the book. It was a mini series, not sure what channel it was on though... Read the book, then watch the movie is my recommendation.   Angelwild327 Posted on Wednesday, May 24, 2006 - 11:32 pm:        watched the series on FOX reality, but I think it was originally on Bravo. I also bought the DVD. I've seen the book but not read it. Fascinating documentary though, really makes you ache to just go somewhere completely different and ride.   Duff24 Posted on Thursday, May 25, 2006 - 12:44 am:        you know what I like about the movie? no reading...only took about half the time to watch...then I could take a nap or RIDE the bike...j/k...no but seriously   Bcordb3 Posted on Thursday, May 25, 2006 - 12:48 am:        I have the dvd's, worth the price of admission. Those guys had some hard times with machine they BMW 1200 GS. Maybe some guys will do it on a Uly!?   Stou Posted on Thursday, May 25, 2006 - 07:41 am:        Thanks for your comments guys. I'll maybe order the book too. Can't wait to see the movie!   Lake_bueller Posted on Thursday, May 25, 2006 - 05:24 pm:        I recieved the DVD & book for Christmas. It took me about 3 days to read the book and another couple of days to watch the DVD. Both are good. Also got a second edition copy of "Two Wheels to Adventure" by Danny Lisko. It details his travels along the Pan American Highway. Including this trek through the Darien Gap by boat & foot. Now THAT is an adventure!!!
