There he goes. There goes Speed Racer.

What a bummer.
“But then they proceed to vomit out a movie so thoroughly incomprehensible and complicated that it can do nothing but bore/ alienate/ lobotomize kids everywhere. I will not attempt to summarize it simply because it cannot be understood. I defy anyone to completely explain this film that isn’t either the Wachowski Brothers or their team of therapists.”
The one man looking forward to Speed Racer more than me, it seemed, was my blog-pal Ray, posting his review at Obsessed With Film and excerpted above. He goes on from there, in his own enviable furious style, and his heartbreak over being let down by the movie is damn palpable.

It’s worse than a bummer. It’s bewildering. Stupifying. I have no idea how they managed to make this simple little cartoon with a perfectly foolproof concept into a cinematic Hindenburg. I could take a camcorder and some Hot Wheels and make a better SPEED RACER film.
Fucking dare me to.

It’s hard to comprehend how many people must have stuck their dirty paws into this cake to ruin it so much. It happens with a lot of big Hollywood flicks.

Yes, my little sidebar posts have gotten a little confused lately. They feed the RSS readers, they don’t feed them – and now they are again. Apologies for any repeats.
