Death Race For The Win
I know the trailer for Death Race has been floating around for a couple days, so I'm sorry if this is old news to you, but even if it is, you will probably want to watch it again because it's one of the funniest things I've ever seen.
At long last someone has made The Longest Yard with Mad Max cars. What? They set up a race car driver from NASCAR (ha) so he would have to go to prison and be in a race to get out of prison but they're going to kill him because he knows that he's I'M SORRY WHAT? I've heard that the reason the prisons are overcrowded is because there isn't enough space for all the prisoners what with all the underground body shops where the racers outfit their cars with smoke bombs and machine guns (you're not allowed to take the machine guns out of the workshop, so it's safe for the guards.) Also the Death Race doesn't seem to be televised or have any spectators? It's just pure sport?
Mostly I'm just worried that this will reinforce the stereotype that women shouldn't be allowed to work in law enforcement because they'll just establish a murderous race battle and falsely imprison all the NASCAR drivers to compete as ringers. Stereotypes are cruel because they're often based in truth.

What bothered me more than anything about the whole movie, besides the fact it looks like crap and they stole a title from a perfectly good camp movie and attached it to this (making me think I was getting a remake) but what really bothers me is I know good and goddamn well about .01% of the female prison population looks like those chicks.
Score = 0
I've watched the National Geographic Channel prison shows and the female prisoners definitely do not look like that. They should have done more research. This looks terrible. Absolutely terrible.
Score = 0
You guys need to bear in mind that this is the near future, so probably female prisoners are going to get a lot hotter soon. CRIME SPREE!
(The joke is that I'm going to commit a crime spree so that i can go to jail and see these ladies.)
Score = 1
Ahhh Jason Statham, you took your glorious opportunity Guy Ritchie provided with Snatch, and just started cashing paycheck after paycheck in more and more ridiculous movies until you can finally become the worst. actor. ever. Soon you will look like this =

What next? A Timecop remake?

This is how he gets me. I see a shit me that he is starring in and I know it's shit but I think, Snatch was so good, I'll give it a try. Then, BAM, showered in shit. But that's it I am off JS movies. I mean it. I don't care how hot he looks.
Score = 0
these are grounds for a prisoner's release that I can get behind. fastest murderer racecar-ing. perfect. maybe drop the fun and games and simply make it 'fastest murderer-ing" gets the freedom. PERRRRFECT.
