anarky and mabs, et al... a review we can all get behind:

It was so good, it made Matrix Revolutions good.

If I had a seizure from watching it–I would have sent the Wachowski’s a thank you letter–because I would have to see it again to watch the parts I missed during the seizure.

If it had started over and played again after the credits I would have had to sit there and watch it all over again… I wouldn’t have been able to force myself to leave.

I saw the movie with two friends and had either of them turned to me when the movie was over and said “Well, that wasn’t my favorite movie ever” I would have stabbed them.

If I had to pick a flaw in it, it would be that Christina Ricci didn’t come out of the screen and have sex with me. That’s the only flaw I can think of.

So fuck you America. Iron Man is AWESOME. Indiana Jones is also AWESOME… but neither are as good as Speed Racer. That’s just a fact. I have never in my life seen so many awesome movies in one month… and Speed Racer topped them all. Dear God, what an awesome movie.

I will be seeing it again tomorrow.

Oyes that about sums it up- the fact that weeks later some of us are still trying to put together all the awesomeness is yet another testament to this fine film- after seeing Iron Man once I felt as if I'd totally "SEEN" it, but Speed Racer was something else entirely

Saw it in IMAX last night. It rocked again. I found Prince Kabala finally.

I also didn't catch the first time that the weaselly guy who's telling Cruncher Block that he's supposed to win Casa Cristo was Snake Oiler, sans helmet.

I caught the snake oiler appearances, he is done pretty much exactly like the cartoon version actually, but the mask/helmet sure does help

Thanks for pointin out Kabala, I am seein it again tonight and knowing where to look I expect it'll be even better, almost as excited as I was back on the 9th

Wait, isn't Snake Oiler clean-shaven in the 'toon?

I'm reasonably certain that's Kabala. He's the only racer I noticed who looked like the actor from the pseudo-documentary. However, I didn't compare car color and numbers. It's #13, and a green/orange sorta fractal paint job. (The actor can also be glimpsed at the start of the Grand Prix, but is much clearer when Cannonball blows him up.)

I'll double check tonight. It'll be nice knowing the Helixicon is ACTUALLY HAPPENING too, the first time through I didn't realize it was NOT hypothetical til it was too late, another thing I dug about the film

I shall report back

It would have to be after the movie. Otherwise, you'd be too occupied watching the movie to enjoy the experience of fucking Christina Ricci.
