So I’ve finally got another confirmation that this should be the last kick of the can. Pass the exam pass the course. Pass the course finish the program!
I can smell freedom!
On a completely different note: the Matrix people meet Fast and the Furious sound engineers and came up with a new version of Speed Racer!
Click here for the trailer In the grand tradition of car movies the acting already takes second place in the trailers to the cool special effects. = D
Needless to say, I’m excited for it.
So there was a time when I wouldn’t even have bothered trying to play nice. Sadly this time I did. And the result is that I’m spending the evening getting my docs in order for a meeting with the head honcho. Lesson learned: Benefit of the doubt is a waste of time. If you think they’re trying to screw you then they are.
So rather than write my own entirely unique rant about the movie I will merely suggest that readers interested in a lengthy diatribe click here
I will say that I disagree with the above author’s comments about Gaiman. I will also say that had I walked in expecting an animated film my reaction might have been different.
If this had been released before LotR then maybe it wouldn’t have been such a let down, but after LotR I felt saddened that everything was animated. I was looking forward to a beautiful costumes, horses, etc style film. I wasn’t expecting accuracy to the original subject matter and I’m not even disappointed with what did get released, but I did walk out feeling like I has watched someone else play a video game and had been mildly bored by the process.
Thoughts anyone?
