1. This is another thing I won't get because I have dial-up.
These videos never work for me, so I have no idea whether you are being silly, serious, or little of both. :shrug:

Thank you for posting this, though. I love your avatar.

2. I'll tell you what it is.
It's a trailer for a new Speed Racer movie coming out.

It's live action.

It's made by the Wachowski brothers.

And from the looks of things, it takes itself very, very seriously. I puked and had to turn it off before I reached the halway mark.

Both god and this movie cannot possibly exist in the same universe. If god were all powerful, all knowing, and a good person, he would not allow this movie to exist.

5. Thank you, Benfea. Yes, I understand your argument.
I do not think that Speed Racer should be live action. Under Dog should never have been live action either.

Thanks again for explaining the link. I'm sorry that I am a coward for not addressing your argument.
I don't agree with you on the last part, but I am certified mentally ill so you'd better not listen to my thoughts are that part of it.

22. What does free will have to do with it?
If god existed and truly loved us, one well-timed and well-placed natural disaster would have wiped this movie off the face of the Earth long before any trailers got made.

3. It doesn't make me question my faith, but it's definately not good news
Doesn't anybody have an original idea anymore? Or is this an example of people with more money than brains making all their childhood dreams come true just because they can afford to?

4. The remake craze has clearly gone too far...
...but what really frightens me is the thought that this movie might actually make money.

8. Yes and if it DOES make a lot of money, we are going to see
more live action spin off of cartoons which are mostly hideous.

10. No I haven't
I don't go to the movies much, but ideas like these make me glad I stay away...

11. Kimba? That memory was already violated.
What do you think Lion King was? They just changed some of the names around.

17. Well, it fooled our generation because were too young
to have ever heard of Kimba. The Lion King does not have much of a plot, is Kimba like that,too?

18. To be honest, I don't know.
Despite being a bit of an anime buff, I never saw Kimba, but I do recall that whoever owns the Kimba copyright sued Disney over the Lion King.

9. Other than the "new" music,
it looks like an improvement to me
And yes, I grew up watching Speed Racer and knew it was "bad" even as a kid.

So God still exists

Anybody have an mp3 link to the old Alpha Team "Speed Racer" tracks they did way back when (1990s sound-collage)?

19. There IS a God, and I can prove it.
Exhibit A (today)


Exhibit B (on tour right now)


Who ever thought either of these bands would touch a stage again. Praise the Lord!!

I'm sure Dick Cheney made them bring him back before pretzel time.
