Go, Speed Racer!
sfgate: “The Wachowski brothers have tumbled into a matrix of their own with “Speed Racer,” one which has rendered them completely out of touch with the outside world… In adapting the 1960s Japanese anime television series, writer-directors Larry and Andy Wachowski have created a noisy, overlong, mind-numbing extravaganza that seems tailor-made for nobody but themselves and their twisted sensibilities… “Speed Racer” is, of course and unfortunately, mainly about the races -a never-ending blur of lights and color, an overlapping cacophony of drivers and announcers, flying car parts and flailing crowds.”
If that review doesn’t scream cult classic, then we don’t know what.
its almost as if they went crazy with the colorwheel after having made dark movies for so long. jeffrey wells says there are a few critics out there who have given positive reviews. not looking good.
the kind of movie you have to see in a theater. even if its shitty it’ll big and gloriously shitty in the way that they wanted it to be.
Technically, are they still “brothers?” I’ma sayin’.
on the downside amy is wearing only bra and shorts. on the upside at least there’s the bra and shorts. thank you amy winehouse, for small favors.
I’m most interested in MGMT’s review of the movie.
