As some of you may already know, the Wachowski Brothers (sister?) have been hard at work on their next movie: Speed Racer. That's right, the same Speed Racer we all know and love from Saturday morning cartoons. That same show we the lame dubbing, and horrible animation, and terrible story? Yeah, that one. But hey, that's why we love it? So I thought that the movie was going to be sort of a comedic parody of a movie-- however, this is not the case! The Wachowski... siblings are going all out on making this quite a serious movie.
The first theatrical trailer has been released if you would like to check it out.

I'm excited in an odd way for this movie. _________________

I think the trailer looks pretty bad. The CG is... not impressive.
But if they speed up all the dialogue, then I will go see this film, and I will be first in line. Until then it's working its a pass. _________________

Let us hope it kills the careers of all parties involved in the movie.
Unless they do what Shrew says, It would have my manly seal of approval if they did that. _________________ DAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH! |

Indeed. Shitty CG animation isn't quite as nostalgic as shitty cartoon animation. _________________

Hmmm, I think if someone was under the influence of psychotropic substances then this movie will totally trip them out. My question is whether the monkey will have a scene where it throughs it feces at the bad guys. _________________

When did Speed Racer become an underground rave? Yet another thing destroyed by Vick's Vapo Rub. They need to add some of that tart dialogue seen throughout the series. "Ah hah! I have found you, Speed! Ah, hah, hah, hah! It is I, Racer X! I am your brother, Carl! A, hah, hah, hah!" That would be awesome... _________________

I know there's going to be people who will say this thing looks too cartoony and too much CGI, but I think that may be the point and the style the Wachowski Brothers are going for. I'm still not fully sold on the film as something for me to see on its very first day but I am sold on watching it this summer.

Gotta hand it to the Brothers they sure picked an interesting visual pallette to use for this film. _________________
