Yeah, one of the things I did was read more about the Speed Racer movie... There seem to be two opinions about it -- it is a hyperactive mess, or it is boldly unafraid to look different. And then there are now people writing about why it bombed so big (which has nothing to do with it being good or bad) -- I like this article, which talks about the differences between kids films, family films and mass-market films.
So I gotta see this movie now, just to find out if I'd like it or not...
