Anyone who thinks that Speed Racer (2008) utterly sucks, let me know so I can remove you from my f-list.

Halfway thru ANOTHER DVD viewing, and I am still CONSISTENTLY impressed by story ideas, sfx, and occasional acting.

This movie (like Popeye and Flash Gordon) is better than you snarkily think it is.

I don't know if it has the culty glow of Big Trouble in Little China or Hudson Hawk to it as of yet.

But it is good. At least, to me.

One of my greatest regrets is never meeting John M. Ford in the flesh.

One of my greatest blessings is to have interacted, oft-times regularly, with John M. Ford on the Pyramid messageboards and in email.


God grant I am half the writer Mike was, and I will be happy.

...when super is just not enough!

I am a big fan of Ultraman, but also: I am limited to the first series, ONLY, being North American. (We just do NOT get follow-on series from Japan.)

HOWEVER.

Ultra-fans (of the Americas), watch THIS:

I request and require Patrick Stewart to portray "Spider Jerusalem" in any Transmetropolitan endeavors.
