I'm not gay, but I'd stick my penis in his mouth.
Yikes, so far 90% of the reviews have been way positive. by ganymede3010	May 7th, 2008 01:18:43 AM
I guess I'll go and see it:)
Ha ha. You said "compliment." by Ommadawn1959	May 7th, 2008 01:42:26 AM
(In comic-book-guy vox) I think you meant to say "complement." Worst. Word usage. Ever.
Like I said... by poeticwarriorII	May 7th, 2008 01:50:36 AM
women and very effeminate men.
Seriously, can we get unbiased non fangirl female reviews? by IndustryKiller!	May 7th, 2008 01:53:37 AM
Cause this is ridiculous. How the hell am I supposed to trust this? Yeah Yeah if I dont like it I should ignore it, but I think this site has a serious lack of female viewpoints and this kind of hyperbolic stuff doesn't quite cut the mustard. How can I believe lines like "Christina Ricci is captivating." CAPTIVATING??? I Speed Racer? No, Daniel Day Lewis is "captivating" in There Will Be Blood. It's a tad much and difficult to take seriously.
Popcorn fun for the family and friends by Shub-Wankalot	May 7th, 2008 02:14:02 AM
Storytelling with a nod and wink to anime, eye-candy, pop-culture, and summer madness. Burning chrome...yeah baby!
Still think it will suck. by Grando	May 7th, 2008 02:16:32 AM
All the positive reviews in the world ain't getting me to shell out hard cash for this Technicolor abortion. I believe I will illegally download it and then trash it on a website.
Polarized by BiggusDickus	May 7th, 2008 02:34:26 AM
Been trawling the Speed Racer boards for weeks now and I can honestly say I've never seen a film that totally polarizes opinions like this one. Some think it looks shit (me for one) and some are hailing it as the second coming. Coriously, most of the paid reviewers seem to be saying something along the lines on 'Hey, go see it, it's really not as bad as you think!' Weird how there's almost this pre-programmed 'love' coming out of these reviews, like they've been brainwashed not to diss the awesome technical marvel that is Speed Racer. I blame all those flashing lights...
Yay! My Faith Is Slowly Coming Back by LaserPants	May 7th, 2008 06:16:05 AM
I just want this to be good.

Or maybe your "hatred" is pre-programmed...
Seriously, this flick is gonna bomb... by Kid Z	May 7th, 2008 07:43:29 AM
...sadly enough, it's true. This movie should have been made 10 years ago when the Xer's had a little disposable income and a jones for ironic versions of 1970's icons. The new kids are just clueless about Speed Racer, 70's nostalgia, irony, anything less accessible than American Idol, Dancing with the Stars or the latest NLT video. The Wachowskis, god bless 'em have made the perfect Speed Racer movie for an audience that isn't there anymore. Sad, really.
what the hell is this article even about by ArcadianDS	May 7th, 2008 09:05:33 AM
Right of the bad, way to go Harry for giving your wife a job. I predicted this months ago, but here's a reminder: six years from now, Harry loses this domain in a nasty divorce. But not before Ringo and Paul say screw this and bail. anyway, here's my point: is this article SERIOUSLY taking 3 screens worth of text to praise the fact that the monkey was not CGI? Did Yoko even WATCH this movie? "Hey Wachowski's - remember that movie you made that had more green walls than all three Star Wars prequels combined? I really want to drop some kudos on you for taking a risky but bold chance on a real actual MONKEY in your entirely computer generated video game/movie." Seriously. Is that what this article just did? FACEPALM.
ArcadianDS by annettekellerman	May 7th, 2008 10:22:52 AM
Calm down and quit spraying your haterade all over the place. I'm not Yoko. With a quick search of the site, you'll see I've been contributing since '98. In fact the archives don't even go back to my first posting.
Has Anyone LOOKED @ Rot.Tom. to See What's What? by Deandome	May 7th, 2008 10:49:15 AM
Take a friggen look instead of regurgitating this 40% crap. How the fuck does ELEVEN REVIEWS merit people saying it isn't "tracking well"? And you'll see that those eleven are heavily skewed to stick-up-their ass, childless, probably gay, self-annointed "cinephiles" from places like the New Yorker, New York Magazine, Variety & The Hollywood Reporter...and/or are absolute nobodies nobody's ever heard of. Take a look at the reviews from the naysayers; Kirk Honeycutt loved 10,000 BC & Street Kings...80% of his reviews seem to be art flicks. Alonso Durante seems to hate everything, save for turds like Hot Rod & three excruciating family films; Spiderwick Chronicles, Mr. Magorium's Emporium & Golden Compass (OK, I kinda liked that one, but most people/critics didn't). You know Ebert...who's opinion counts for more than all these no-names put together...is gonna love it (Dark City was his #1 movie of the year when it came out...he loves him 'dem viz-yul flicks!). Roeper's hinted he does, too. I know the positive RT reviewers probby love things I hate/hate things I love too, but c'mon people, we're talking ELEVEN FUCKING REVIEWS here, and not a critical heavyweight in the bunch. Don't jump on the hate train until a) you see it & hate it, or b) there are like 50+ reviews on file @ RT...including ones from people who actually matter.

Woldn't the real annettekellerman would have a black/gery textout and list herself as 'TheRealAnnetteKellerman'? J ust a thought...
That's 'black/grey' goddamit by BiggusDickus	May 7th, 2008 12:37:14 PM

Fuck the Haters by stuatfunnyordie	May 7th, 2008 01:46:28 PM
This just looks like fun.
biggusdickus by annettekellerman	May 7th, 2008 02:06:25 PM
Maybe I'll get back to Harry on that one. It's really me.
Will theater management hand out barf bags by skimn	May 7th, 2008 03:13:26 PM
to the Moms and Pops that will be taking the juniors and misses? Me thinks the older set will not be able to handle it...look at Rotten Tomatoes already...
I've always thought of Rex Reed as by skimn	May 7th, 2008 03:20:00 PM
the ripest fruit of the bunch, and wonder who he blows to keep his critic credentials, but I have to admit, his quote "I can sit through just about anything, but I draw the line at two hours and 15 minutes of fuchsia vomit" is pretty funny.
Christina Ricci for Betty Boop, do it! by pipergates	May 7th, 2008 03:39:18 PM
movie sounds great
Ricci IS Betty Boop by ZeroCorpse	May 7th, 2008 04:05:09 PM
Large bobble-head on skinny body. Yep. And she used to be HOT, when she had curves. Now she looks like a stick with a tennis ball on top of it.
annettekellerman... by BiggusDickus	May 7th, 2008 04:47:38 PM
Ok. I believe you. Like the picture, though the camel's foot is a step too far... Interested in your opinion of Iron Man. Care to post?
and youre one of the best writers here, Kellerman by pipergates	May 7th, 2008 05:09:49 PM
Moriarty, Harry and you write well, you paint a good picture of what the film is like and have flow and spunk. And that downunder guy too is cool. The rest of the gang....
"hyper-real modern animation..." by -guyinthebackrow	May 7th, 2008 05:57:10 PM
Did you actually see the movie?
camel toe by annettekellerman	May 7th, 2008 06:41:34 PM
Every detail of my avatar can be blamed on Cartuna and the Head Geek. I've always been found of it.
Speed Racer is the movie all the kids want to see... by Quake II	May 7th, 2008 08:33:00 PM
Is any kid under 12 talking about Wal-E or Indiana Jones? Hardly. They all want to see Speed Racer. Americans love Nascar and cars and anything that deals with racing. Turn that obsession into an action packed mind fuck of a PG rated movie and you have a guaranteed hit. I predict that Speed Racer makes close to 75 million this weekend.....
Yeah Im man enough by ArcadianDS	May 8th, 2008 08:54:20 AM
to come back when I am wrong. Ms. Kellerman has been posting here for a a few years. There's no way she can be our beloved Yoko Knowles, because Ms. Knowles would have been 11 then. So to Ms. Kellerman, I yield. Im still not sure about the whole bionic getaway stick, but if Terminator taught us anything, its that cyborgs are people, too. People who write 3 pages of text about monkeys - but i can't keep trying to force the universe to bow to my power. It gets tired from all the constant bowing.
