cool beans!
May. 23rd, 2008 12:17 amJust saw Speed Racer, and, gotta say, it's pretty sweet. The plot isn't that bad, it doesn't take itself seriously, and it's the most psychedelic fun you can legally have.
Kim, I recommend you see it. I enjoyed it more than Iron Man.
Ok, admittedly this rec is coming from someone who really enjoys driving and also at least sort of liked The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift. I can see how a lot of it wouldn't appeal to American audiences, who would probably deride much of the antics as "gay" or "retarded" (and Iron Man, you know, that's about as opposite of gay and retarded as Arnold Schwarzenegger!), but I found it punchy and endearing... I pretty much got the same childish kick out of this as I do with DBZ (you know, except without the searing emotional involvement). So there you have it.
