FIRST LOOK

Hey let's promote gas guzzling vehicle sports to our children . That way we can have a reason to continue murdering people in Iraq. Hahahah....Serious, do we really need race car driving movie ? We are on the verge of changing from Fossil Fuel base energy to Green Energy systems, so why is Hollywood promoting this crap ? Stupid Wachowski brother, you SOLD OUT. you Corporate cock suckers.

I see no statement in the article that the car runs on fossil fuels. I do not even see a fuel tank. Additionally, race cars are the cause of an unimaginably small amount of the environmental hazards involved in fuel production and use. Besides, the Speed Racer movie is much more directed at those of us who were around to watch the cartoon than the youth of today, though adding more children to the fanbase is certainly welcome. If anything, the Wachowski Brothers are indeed futurists and have made their dislike of conventional politics and economy very clear through their work, such as V for Vendetta or even bits of The Matrix. I expect that, as high and mighty as you are Julia, you drive exclusively hybrids and/or use public transportation, have eschewed plastics and other oil-byproducts from your daily life, and make it out to all the anti-war protests in your area as well as writing your congressman, so it would be redundant of me to advise it, right? If you don't, then I'd strongly suggest that in its place, you try "shutting the fuck up" and turning that critical finger of yours on yourself rather than deriding the art of others because you do not agree with the economic message, whether intended or not (and in this case I am sure it is the latter). Speed Racer looks like it's gonna be a beautiful and fun movie, and a very risky venture as well. Perhaps you should save your denigration for those that shape policy rather than those who produce art and develop modern filmmaking technologies. As a member of the Green party, I would ask that you please either educate yourself or, as stipulated earlier, shut the fuck up so as to avoid associating your uninformed worldview with those of us who actually care about these issues so far as to act upon them. I can't wait to see this movie. Rob

Jesus fucking Christ, Julia. It's a fucking movie. It no longer shocks me when people say that women are usually completely devoid of logic, common sense and consistency.

Because of the hype, I lost 50 pounds! It's GREAT!
