GO SPEED RACER!

Okay, I don't know whether I'm going to see the new Speed Racer movie or not, but let me tell you, when I was a kid, I loved the cartoon. Now if you have a decently fast internet connection, and you can watch You Tube videos, watch this little clip of the opening of the cartoon.



Okay, did you see it? Now think back to the last few seconds of opening sequence. What happens there? I think this is very interesting. Its a...Matrix Move! Speed racer freezes and the scene revolves so you see a 360 view of him and his car! Perhaps the Wachowski brothers grew up on Speed Racer like I did, and it influenced their famous Matrix trilogy. Now it's come full circle and they are the directors of the new Speed Racer movie.

The film is getting mostly negative reviews. I can't imagine the Wachowski's making anything that wasn't at least interesting and full of new ideas.
