I’m glad you got to see t at the drive-in. Why is it doomed?

From your reports I wondered,"Is there a battle in store for our Chim Chim with a monkey?Surely these intelligent writer types are not classifying Chim Chim thus?" Sorry to be a primate stickler,but damn. Having enjoyed Speed Racer at our doomed drive in last evening,I must take umbrage.

That was the scene that made me grin like a 5 year old. But let me explicate how much I loved when Speed saw himself in his own cartoon car racing the bad guys.

I wanted to feel those cars and their presence. And making the Mach 5 a central element seemed de rigeur so I'm surprised it wasn't pumped up. I'll probably see it on IMAX, if only to help the limp box office. It's sad that crap like ICE AGE gets sequels and something genuinely new and heartfelt gets slammed.
