Oh, Speed...!
No time to blog now -- the grading crunch is once again upon me.
But I leave you in the driving-gloved hands of none other than Mom and Pop Racers' pride and joy... Speed Racer.
Yes, the Wachowski Brothers are bringing a big-screen adaptation of the beloved Japanese cartoon to cineplexes everywhere on May 9th, 2008. if you click on that link, you'll get to check out the cast. And you may notice something... odd. Apparently, the Brothers W know something about Rex Racer and the mysterious Racer X that even Speed's original Japanese creators didn't!
I'm not sure what I think yet of the decidedly unrealistic racing effects. On the one hand, it fits with the series perfectly. On the other hand...
I'll leave you with this bit of techno-porno-fluff from the inimitable Alpha Team. (Be patient -- the player may take a minute to load.) A word of warning if you're using speakers: though it uses dialog and sounds from the original cartoon... it's not exactly SFW.
You were wonderful!
