Enough about ClownBasket.  Has anyone seen the movie "Long Way Round"?  If you haven't, you need to see it.  My wife and I rented it thru Netflix and, I must admit, I wasn't sold after the first 10 minutes.  I mean, it was my wife's selection, and I tend to be a little less forgiving.  But I hung in there and man am I glad.  Anyway, the movie is not really a movie at all.  It is really a documentary about Ewan McGregor (you know, Obi-Wan Kenobi from Star Wars I, II, & III) and his buddy Charley Boorman (you know, the creepy golden masked boy in 1981's Excalibur - dude, if you haven't seen Excalibur, it is really a classic.  I think I watched it over 50 times on cable when I was a kid.  It was on Showtime or Cinimax almost nightly in the mid 80's).  So where was I?  Okay.  Documentary.  Ewan.  Boorman.  They ride their motorcycles around the world.  Starting in Europe and making their way thru Asia.  Up the Road of Bones.  Cross over into Alaska.  Down thru Canada and into the US before they make it to New York City. 

I can't remember how long it takes or how many fights they got in or many of the details (since it has been almost two years since I saw it), but it is facinating.  They bring a 3rd biker with them to film themselves the whole time.  The stuff they run into.  The people they meet.  The trouble they narrowly divert.  It is really an amazing story.

So, enjoy.  Long Way Round.  It is solid.  BTW, has anyone seen Long Way Down yet?  Apparently they made another movie where they wen't from North to South.  Haven't seen it yet.
