Title: Speed Racer: The Movie Post by: Mazakiel on December 07, 2007, 08:37:21 AM So....it's by the Wachowskis, has John Goodman as the dad, and several other recognizable faces as well, oh yeah, live action/green screen combo.....I don't know what to make of this whole thing except for....wtf. Anyway, here's a link to a trailer:

Title: Re: Speed Racer: The Movie Post by: Mazakiel on December 07, 2007, 11:14:11 AM Hell, I'd buy the ticket for Haemish to review it.

But... the Flinstones and Howard the Duck were blockbusters. BLOCKBUSTERS I TELL YA! Title: Re: Speed Racer: The Movie Post by: Evildrider on December 07, 2007, 12:26:02 PM I don't know.. it looks kind of interesting.. pure eye candy. :awesome_for_real:

But... the Flinstones and Howard the Duck were blockbusters. BLOCKBUSTERS I TELL YA! Howard the Duck? Everything looked normal in that except the duck and Mr. Rooney after he changed. The thought of Lea Thompson getting it on with a 3 foot tall duck scarred me for life though. I've never been able to accept her as a romantic interest in movies because of that. Title: Re: Speed Racer: The Movie Post by: geldonyetich2 on December 07, 2007, 01:58:46 PM I was surprised to see that the [roduction values are through the roof, but honestly a live action Speed Racer? It's like, it has the disadvantage of seeming unoriginal but the advantage that not many people will remember it anyway so they can transform it into something else entirely.
Title: Re: Speed Racer: The Movie Post by: SnakeCharmer on December 07, 2007, 02:29:44 PM Ummm. Yeah.
Or. No. Won't even waste a rental on it. The kid playing Speed Racer was good in The Girl Next Door, though. However, my judgement of that movie may have been clouded by the hotness of Elisha Cuthbert Title: Re: Speed Racer: The Movie Post by: Yegolev on December 07, 2007, 02:45:24 PM Looks better than the anime.
Title: Re: Speed Racer: The Movie Post by: stu on December 07, 2007, 11:02:44 PM Might be cool if it gets some 3-D treatment. Other than that... The Wachowskis could have made anything. What's wrong with them?
Title: Re: Speed Racer: The Movie Post by: NiX on December 08, 2007, 03:07:47 PM What's wrong with them? Something to do with post-op?Title: Re: Speed Racer: The Movie Post by: geldonyetich2 on December 08, 2007, 03:16:29 PM That their brainstorming sessions involve people in leather chaps of either gender whipping them?
Title: Re: Speed Racer: The Movie Post by: SnakeCharmer on December 08, 2007, 03:25:41 PM What's wrong with them? One hit wonders (original Matrix) that struck gold with an unoriginal main plot (we're not real, we're figments of imagination) along with innovative camera work and special effects? Title: Re: Speed Racer: The Movie Post by: rk47 on December 09, 2007, 02:39:58 PM i don't mind it. it's retro and stylish. dialogues don't sound corny eiither.
