What thing on what poster? :smallconfused:

It wasn't monkey at any rate.

Being a cult series, it's probably on overpriced DvDs marketed towards nostalgic nerd.

Darn... I should stop being so cynical.

Wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monkey_%28TV_series%29#Remakes) agrees with me that it's on DvD.

This does remind me.
If you're a fan of that, you may want to go and have a look at the Monkey Opera, by one of the best creative teams ever.
Go on, guess.
Excuse me while I go link dig.

I think you can see an episode (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-gmABsTi1-k) or two on youtube, but not much more than that. That's assuming that this is the same Monkey you're thinking of (it's a classic story, and there have been multiple tellings of it on the TV screen alone).

The full version of the story is worth reading as well, at least, if you're not daunted by long books. Or rather, three or four books of normal length, as full translations typically break it up into volumes. Oddly enough, I read it before I was aware there were any TV shows about it, and while reading thought, "this would make a really good TV show."

Some day I'll probably get the show of DVD, so I can watch all of it. It's pretty much one of the awesomest things ever, just like its theme song. "I'm the greatest, will you demons never understand? I love to fiiiight!" I'm also gonna have to see that Gorillaz thing too.

There is a very good abridgement by Arthur Waley that is only one volume (Monkey: A Folk-Tale of China).

The full 100-chapter/4 volume translation is a bit heavier - it really is for masochists or enthusiasts only.

I'm both so the book sounds great. Do they sell it at borders?

They should do, although I had to get the 4-volume set by special order. If you have any problems PM me and I'll try and get the ISBN numbers for you.
