The weird marketing vibe that I keep getting from the upcoming Wachowski brothers live-action imagining of Speed Racer continues to get weirder. And vibe-ier. Take a look at the Mach 5 toy seen below, recently featured at the great blog Topless Robot. (click the image for a bigger version)
I realize that I’m feeding directly into the entire dork culture of this film in the exact same way that I disparaged the March of the Geekformers all last year, but I can’t seem to help it. There’s something about Speed that is just…speaking to me. I really want this toy and by the way, my birthday is rapidly approaching.
Not only did the director of Crystal Skull find Michael Bay’s movie to be “awesome”, but in Michael Bay’s opinion, Spielberg might even feel that the movie is perhaps Michael Bay’s best. Awesome news for Michael Bay fans of Michael Bay movies! (

Don’t believe the hype. Robotech is the way to go. Or Starblazers, if you’re really serious…
