I saw Speed Racer! It was actually pretty good, not as bad as I thought it would be. The recreation of the classic anime had me worried that it would be totally butchered in today's world, but it was fun to watch.

You know how 300 had amazing action scenes and everything else in it was kinda crappy? Well that's kinda like Speed Racer; mediocre drama and sometimes mundane and predictable scenes with people yapping, but awesome psychedelic joyrides of automobile bliss. The racing will entertain you no matter who or what you are. It's stylish, funny at times, trippy, colorful, vibrant, intense and just leaks cool. From neon light lined race tracks, smooth and sexy cars, special effects galore and some mind-boggling car choreography, the races in Speed Racer are well worth the price for a ticket by themselves.

So go check it out, forget all those banal by-the-numbers summer movie flicks and recycled stuff, buy a ticket for the freshest and unique movie out now. There won't be anything quite like Speed Racer out for a while, so hit the cinema while you can, this is a movie you need a big screen to watch.

Digital pirates please don't do it; by downloading it you'll be saying to the suffering movie industry "hey I don't care that you made a breath-of-fresh air flick thats one-of-a-kind and has awesome CG rendered vehicles that I will probably never be able to see again; I'm going to render all your work to bring something new to the table void and null... oh look it's finished downloading! yay."

sorry that I'm not going to your blogs and stuff, I'm still a bit tied up.
