Incredible.<BR/><BR/>My friend Michael (that's mehitchcock) and I are going to check out <I>Speed Racer</I> this week, hopefully. I have been sufficiently swayed. And while the missus and I are both Potter fans, the name isn't an homage - when we went to see Potter 5 last summer, we had a shared "Oh crap" moment. It could turn out to be a good thing, though - of all the characters she could relate to if/when she discovers the series, Luna's the craziest and the coolest.<BR/><BR/>Hooray for GFs, dude.Andrew Bemishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06097037829531087694noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18377389.post-62909958064147410702008-05-19T10:31:00.000-04:002008-05-19T10:31:00.000-04:00Count me in the pro-SPEED RACER camp. Yes, it's s...Count me in the pro-SPEED RACER camp. Yes, it's silly and kind of juvenile, but what are you gonna do, it's SPEED RACER. But there's something really infectious about the verve and energy with which the Wachowskis kick to the curb every expectation would one have for a movie of this sort. Parts of the film are practically experimental- the opening reel is cut almost like a Resnais film- and the colors just wash over you. I think part of the reason for the film's reception (aside from the fact that many seemed to approach a new Wachowskis project, esp. this one, with knives drawn) is the fact that its inspirations aren't so much cinematic and literary as comic books, video games, and Saturday morning cartoons. I don't think a lot of people writing about movies are especially well-versed in those, and it shows.<BR/><BR/>On another note, the Jodo project sounds bloody incredible.<BR/><BR/>Also, Angela (my GF) was wondering if you got Luna's name from Harry Potter.Paul C.https://www.blogger.com/profile/02699493473242261477noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18377389.post-56718035315829319042008-05-18T14:05:00.000-04:002008-05-18T14:05:00.000-04:00Hey, look at it this way: Any Cage freakout can't ...Hey, look at it this way: Any Cage freakout can't be more epic than the Keitel meltdown at the end of Ferrara's film.

I'm positive he will use Cage in a very special way.<BR/>As for "Speed Racer," thanks for the link.
