I did not see that one. However, the recent movie about Atlantis (a
cartoon) with the submarine was an excellent example. Wild Wild West
was another (the crazed Confederate General was good). The Golden
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.


Man, when I was a kid I lived for UNCLE. Trouble is, we lived in a
valley that pointed toward Syracuse NY, so we couldn't get the closer
Rochester stations. Our TV consisted of very snowy black and white. I
remember my uncle would watch the evening news every night, and some
nights you could barely make out a silhouette (damn I love spell check)
of a person!

Never really went for UNCLE.. but back then I was just outside of
Hartford and we got the three main networks, pretty good...
