No, Speed Racer! NO!

Sorry to my fellow SacFilmFans, but I'm afraid I am BOOKED this weekend and won't be able to go out and feed my need for Speed. So no organization coming from me. I'm afraid you's all on your own (that wasn't a typo. I was trying to be NewYorky. No points awarded for pointing out that I can't pull off the accent).

And to be honest, with how the reviews are looking so far? Hmmm... I'm getting the vibe that if you're not a 10-year old (or have one), it's not for you. And I'm hearing a lot of Cloverfield-esque whining about people getting close to going BLORF!! in the middle of the film. Too much motion and color. Many headaches reported.

Will I end up seeing it? Not sure. There's a part of me that's just curious from a purely visual point of view. I want to see what this big acid trip looks like on a big ol' screen, even if it ends up being a bad trip. But, not this weekend, at least.

So if you're going...have fun, and let me know what you think. Me, I'll be A) working and B) hitting friend and family things all over town. But I'll be driving to them all REALLY FAST, so maybe I'll get some of the experience. I, too, am a demon on wheels...

    Iwillbetakingmynephews - soontobenephewstheyare - tothemovie - OHH! Bridgeisout!

    Uh, sorry... :)

    Looking forward to seeing this just for the acidtrip roadshow alone. It looks like the closest I'll get to trying illegal drugs. Seriously, the COMMERCIALS make my head hurt - the movie is gonna blow my mind away! Have to make it next weekend, since Mom's day is this weekend.

    Go Speed Racer GO!

    ... and I hated the cartoon when I was little. :)

    Mike, I'm thinking we'll be passing on this one. The motion-movement is enough to make the wife get sick (she can't watch the boy play video games - so this will just be too much overload) and I'm not very into the technicolor headache either. Maybe catch it on cable later in the year.
