*hums intro to theme song*

I saw Speed Racer this weekend!!!! It was soooooo good...it was like watching an anime...only with live people. I know it sounds weird but it was REALLY cool and funny.
Trixie was MAJORLY badass - i love her character.

Racer X, a.k.a.> my OTL (one true love) besides Shakespeare, was in TOP form. I LOVED the choice of Matthew Fox for that role. I really think he was one of the best casting choices.

Pops Racer...I like John Goodman but I think he kind of came off too strong.

Mom Racer - Susan Sarandon was fantastic. She's sooooo nice...I'd love to have her as a mom.

Spritle and Chim Chim were SOOOOOOOOO funny. I'd kill him if he were my brother, but I love those two in the movie.

Go see it.

and as an added bonus, I'm including the lyrics and a video of the Speed Racer theme song so you can all catch the fever!!

p.s.> i'm already planning to dress up as Speed for halloween...

Speed Racer theme
Here he comes
Her comes Speed Racer
He's a demon on wheels
He's a demon and he's gonna be chasin' after someone.

He's gainin' on you so you better look alive.
He's busy revvin' up a powerful Mach 5.

And when the odds are against him
And there's dangerous work to do
You bet your life Speed Racer
Will see it through.

Go Speed Racer
Go Speed Racer
Go Speed Racer, Go!

He's off and flyin' as he guns the car around the track
He's jammin' down the pedal like he's never comin' back
Adventure's waitin' just ahead.

Go Speed Racer
Go Speed Racer
Go Speed Racer, Go!
