Speed Racer: Side Effects include everything.
If any of you suffer from Bulimia nervosa you no longer have to shove your finger down your throat; you can simply watch this trailer for the new Speed Racer movie directed by the Wachowsky Brothers.

I'm actually excited about this movie and think it looks pretty good.
The Rifftrax will probably be good.
The CG goofy cars zooming into what looks to be an anamorphic toon town volcano?
John Goodman as pops?
The Amelie version of Christina Ricci?
"Racing is everything. For my family it isn't just a sport. It's way more important than that. It's like a religion."
"ARE YOU READY TO BECOME A REAL RACE CAR DRIVER? THEN SIGN THAT CONTRACT!"
God, SHUT UP, MOVIE!
And then there's the fact that every single face shot of Speed driving makes it appear as if he is attempting to expel the greatest shit of his entire life right into the Mach 5.
Which doesn't seem entirely inappropriate.
This is all completely ignoring chimp chimp.
The Rifftrax will, indeed, be good.
Oh man, Rain is in this?
it looks like the live action version of speed racer would look. Which is kinda neat.
it looks like a live action cartoon. That is more than Jim Carrey or Mike Myers can say after fucking up Dr. Seuss...3 times.
the acting on the other hand....an abomination unto the gods. I guess after working with amazing actors like Keanu "can't act" Reeves......
ill still go see it.
also - John Goodman was born to play the role of Pops.
No he freak darn wasn't. John Goodman is not pops.
Rain, though. He's totally...Rain.
I'd rather watch this for an hour and a half.
Man.. It's going to be EPIC CAMP
I'm ignoring all of you. I think the special effects look great, properly entrenched in the source material. I don't think one can form an opinion about acting from a trailer, because everything is taken out of context.
I am really excited about this and you can all burn in hell for disagreeing with me.
I think that if one wants to use goofy inflated volcano special effects and chibi versions of the Mach 5 then one also ought to modify the cast somehow so that they compliment these effects.
Sort of like how in A Scanner Darkly EVERYTHING was in that art style so that everything was consistent.
OR, BETTER, you take the gollum approach and you make the special effects fit with the cast of the movie.
But what you don't do is take Christina Ricci and put her on a flubbity-bubbity-whimsical shit-volcano.
Also, not one person in the trailer said, "HA HA!" after finishing a line of dialog.
THEMOSTDANGEROUSRACEHAHA!
"She's right, alright. If i'm going to beat snake I'll beat him in the alpine race."
Do I really have to explain what the series was really about?
Gasp!
Ah!
Ah-ha!
Gasp!
Huh?
A-ha!
Ha-Ha!
AH!
