Back from Maine! It was fun. I'm trying to upload pictures to Facebook as I type this but it's abhorrently slow. We went to Acadia, Goran/Josh/CJ capsized a canoe, we did lots of cooking and cleaning, but most importantly I had some goddamn delicious lobster. I love lobster. I can't wait to go to Cape Cod to have some more.
Here is the reason for my post. To all of the critics and haters of the recent Speed Racer movie, what the fuck is wrong with you. I love this movie beyond anything! Okay maybe not as much as Batman but STILL it's up there! It was the most fun exhilarating thing I have seen EVER. Yeah I saw Iron Man and I loved Iron Man but I would even say I loved Speed Racer more.
I think the stupid people who refuse to see it/like it are making one of several possible mistakes. These include not realizing that it is about 95% beautiful eye candy that deserves to be seen on as big a screen as possible, or not realizing that there are cheesy characters and jokes in it because it's a KID'S MOVIE, or thinking the plot is undeveloped or not complicated enough for you (again because it's a KID'S MOVIE). My point is that it's an awesome inspiring rush of adrenaline that has me still hyped up on it even a week after I saw it and it's making me want to see it again. In IMAX. For another $16.
If you do not enjoy this movie you obviously have no sense of what it's like to be a kid anymore. And I'm sorry for you because it sure feels all kinds of awesome.
