I did not see that one. *However, the recent movie about Atlantis (a

Compass was another.
Here is a compendium of Steampunk art:

Not being an artsy person (ok, I'm aesthetically challenged) I just
dont "get" most art genres but Steampunk I do, along with Romantic
Realism and whatever genre Maxfield Parrish was in.
Thanks for reminding me of Wild Wild West. *I knew this steampunk
wasn't new. *WWW was one of my favorites. *Think WWW and that spy
thing with Robert Vaughn and Ilya Kuryakin ran back to back in the mid
sixties.

David McCallum was Illya and the show was Man from U.N.C.L.E. *Great show.
And the original WWW was much better than the remake movie.
Also reminds me of a movie called "The Great Race" with Jack Lemon,
Peter Falk. *Not sure if that qualifies as "steampunk" though.
"Van Helsing" might qualify. *Heck, maybe even Frankenstein and Willie
Wonka.
