The First Seven Minutes Of Speed Racer Are Good?
This clip has already been making the blog rounds, and my enthusiasm for Speed Racer has been so low that I was not going to post it. But these first seven minutes actually make the movie look kind of good.
Right? That looks good. It's got things that appeal to me, like Jason Street, bright colors, CGI cherry blossom trees, and Inspector Gadget cars. You know what, good for Mr. and Mrs. Wachowski. They've eaten a lot of shit for this movie so far, but apparently while no one was looking they quietly nailed it. But why do they hate gravity so much? They're so angry about gravity. I'm pretty sure every time they get together to come up with a new movie idea, there's one wipe board for concepts and characters, and a dedicated wipe board just for angry rants about how much they want to beat the shit out of gravity.

Wow, yeah, this actually looks good. But I have never watched the cartoon: the character's name is actually Speed Racer? As in Mr. Racer?

I have a feeling this is a huge part of why he has so much trouble concentrating in school.

?I WONDER IF HE WILL DO THE LAST LAP OF THE LAST RACE WITH HIS EYES CLOSED?

Scott Porter is cast as the most unfortunate minor-characters of this or any generation...godspeed with his upcoming roles as San Francisco tiger attack victim #2/ Daniel Nicole Smith/ Lilith Fair promoter.

I'm more than pretty sure that based on that clip, Speed Racer could qualify as autistic.

What's worse than being named Speed Racer? Being named Rex Racer. Seriously.
Aaaaah, I have been looking forward to this movie, despite everything I've heard. I used to love the Speed Racer cartoon, and the visuals look AMAZING. I don't really anticipate it being a good movie, just a pretty one. But that's good enough for me. The Mach V is the pimpest car ever.

This post is a joke. You're all joking. This is the most retarded thing I have ever seen. The cartoon part was cool only.

At first I had serious doubts about this film having grown up with the original Speed Racer but after seeing it for the second time and revisiting old 'ghosts' I really think it received a bum rap! Yes it is different and I would have loved to see fan faves like more of the Mach 5 with some awsome underwater scenes or the Mammoth Car but hey after all these years I am so happy it finally made it's way to the big screen! Go Speed Racer GO!
