They bus in the navigators from the women's prison because otherwise it would be too homoerotic

As a quick note, I have to say that I suspect that Death Race could potentially be the worst movie ever created.

I may need to see this in person.

I dunno, looks more entertaining than some movies I've seen. Nightmare on Elm Street 2. Friday the 13th Part V. Cat in the Hat. Master of Disguise. Ella Enchanted. No, I'm not still bitter about them making a piece of crap movie that's SUPPOSEDLY based on my favorite book, not at all, why do you ask?

Certainly looks like the type of movie that the phrase "suspension of disbelief" was invented for, and it's a rather stupid concept for a movie, but it doesn't look terrible.

Of course, I said neither of those things upon viewing the trailer. No, the first words out of my mouth were, "OH MY GOD, IT'S HANDSOME ROB!" XD

"Ella Enchanted. No, I'm not still bitter about them making a piece of crap movie that's SUPPOSEDLY based on my favorite book, not at all, why do you ask?"

I didn't know anyone else felt the same way as me - That movie was an utter disgrace and a complete waste of time. I told everyone to just read the book when it was in theatres.

Oh that book (EE) was SO lovely. I was also appalled when they totally ground it under a steel-toed boot and made that lame movie.

I think that if I had never touched the book, I might not have disliked it. I wouldn't have loved it, and probably wouldn't have spent money on it, but it'd remain on my list of movies that I'd watch if it were on TV and there was nothing else on. But since I have read the book, I hate it.

Hopefully, they'll never get ahold of Fairest. Though, at least they'd have an excuse to turn that one into a musical.

Also, Firefly icon FTW. *adores Kaylee*

See, but I feel that Death Race has taken a checklist of absolutely ridiculous things and marked them off one by one:

Ludicrous premise? Check.
Car Race? Check.
In Prison? Check.
With Explosions? Check.
Hot Chicks? Check.
Hot Chicks There For No Apparent Reason? Check.
Stone Cold Ice Queen Bitch? Check.

This goes beyond suspension of disbelief into the realm of "I cannot believe they are going to try this."

Fair point.

And yet, it still sounds like it'll be a better movie than XXX: State of the Union was.

Which isn't hard to do, really.
