The tranny thing I can handle, it's the sado-masochist stories I've heard about them that of creep me out. I think you've probably heard them. One of them liked their testicles stepped on by a dominatrix in high heels. There was Rolling Stone article about it. Google it.

Okay, I'll go there, Lana looks better then Huff in this pic.

CitizenKanedforChewingGum says ...

Lana obviously the "sista 'n' charge" of the purdy color palette in Speed Racer.

Say what you will about the crazy personal lives of these people (and in a way, Brendan already sort of said it all), but they are still pretty talented filmmakers. I'll see pretty much anything they're involved with.

Unless they decide to release that ball-stomping movie theatrically (if it's in 3-D, however, I doubt I'd be able to stop myself from going out of pure morbid interest).

Wonder if a semi-reboot MATRIX 4 (where Neo wakes up from the dream that was RELOADED and REVOLUTIONS) would be the comeback that brother-and-sister Wachowski badly need at this time.

LexG says ...

The weirdest thing (to me) about "Lana" isn't just the sex change, but the fact that these are two BROTHERS rolling around together, all casual about sex changes and ball stomping and lesbian fantasies. Can ANYONE relate to this? Like coming home and at the dinner table one day announcing to your bros or your beer-guzzling pop you like lesbians and being ball-stomped and you're going to get a sex change? Like, in 99% of all families in the world wouldn't dad say a hosannah while Andy threw him in a headlock in a spaghetti-stained wife-beater shouting "Get the fuck outta hee-ya!" And everyone would laugh it off and it would never happen?

Shit, I was nervous as fuck bringing my prom date around to meet the family cuz I knew they'd bust her balls. Can't imagine showing up with pink braids and a rack.

televisiontears says ...

Lex, my cousin had a sex change and was an infinitely happier person post surgery. Pre-op she had the confidence of a dog that's been beaten its entire life. He (awkward pronoun change) silently sat in the corner, terrified of any sort of human interaction. He was just looking for a reason to put a gun in his mouth. Now, she bursts at the seams with enthusiasm, engages everyone with the utmost confidence, and actually has a sense of humor.

Keep in mind my extended family is extremely socially-conservative, and still refers to African-Americans as "darkies"... or worse. Once they saw her drastic emotional transformation and how happy she was post-op, they embraced it in a way I never thought possible.

For siblings that work together that closely, I'm sure Andy doesn't even think of Lana as a man anymore. They've probably grown even closer during this ordeal, and judging by the photos pre and post-op (Larry looks so awkward and sad before his transformation), I hope their family feels the same.

Goes to show what 10 years can do. If this was 2000 we'd be drooling over the possibilities of what they were working on. Now we'd rather talk about Lana's sex change than their work.

Speed Racer is fucking rubbish. There's a weird internet support group for it - ;like it's some kind of underrated gem - but it really isn't. It was an overlong children's fantasy, undeserving of any scrutiny.

I'm absolulely cunted.

Get outta here, Speed Racer is awesome for what it is. Much better than Bayformers 2: Revenge of the Attention Span, or PotC 6 or whatever other garbage you seem to be willing to defend on these boards.

Fuck off.

comment #31

DeeZee says ...

No, Eloi's right. Speed Racer's only being embraced by people who think kids movies should be boring, extraneous, and "edgy", which is why Wild Things sucks, too.

comment #32

THE MovieBob says ...

Speed Racer is a special thing. A completely uncompromised, unashamed, proud-as-hell realization of EXACTLY what it wants to be.

Now, whether or not what it wants to be is something worth being to begin with is obviously up for debate. But it's... "pure" in a way that no FX-heavy tentpole movie based on a nostalgia-toon should plausibly be. It's as though Andy and Lana plugged their imaginations into a hard-drive and this movie popped right out.

comment #33

CitizenKanedforChewingGum says ...

I'm sorry, but Speed Racer can be described as a lot of things, boring ain't one of them.

As far as "edgy," it barely has any profanity and nary a mention of sex in the entire thing. "Innovative" may be the word you're looking for. Some people just had a hard time taking it seriously, because we live in this exploitative, snark-infected society (one that people like you help create, Dee!), and as MovieBob states, SR is one of the purest, snark-free cinematic thrill rides produced in the last 10 years.

Fuck the haters.

comment #34

CitizenKanedforChewingGum says ...

And given your supposed love for all things Japanese, I would have guessed that there was at least a chance you understood/respected what the Wachowskis did in being so incredibly faithful to the spirit of the original Speed Racer.

But once again, your hatred blinds you.

comment #35

LexG says ...

Ricci was really cute. That's about all I can say about it a year and a half on.

In theaters, by DAY TWO of its release it was already such a sadsack punching bag I felt sad for it and probably overrated it, finding it nowhere near as grating or bad as its detractors claimed. But, man, paying money and sitting there hostage watching is one thing; seeing it on HBO is another. Anytime it comes on, I couldn't leap for the remote any faster if Gary Sandy was into a fish-eyed lens while a kazoo played the Benny Hill theme.

lazespud says ...

You just hope Lana is happy; she looks happy in the photo. I can't help but thinking about that CA sports writer who did the transition publicly a few years ago and then recently committed suicide. Seems like a lot of people who go through this transition have a lot of legacy pain to get through.

I just wish they'd be back to making good movies; though I liked Speed Racer a lot (apparently I'm the only one...)

comment #37

Gordon27 says ...

I kind of wish I'd seen 'Speed Racer' on the big screen. It's not that it's a good movie; it's just so incredibly visual that the strengths would've played better.

'Speed Racer' was part of a trio of movies that I saw on cable within a very short time of each other, films that were pitched at children but had bizarre plots that no child could possibly be interested in; in this case, a strange extended metaphor about making films for art not money, and the purity of that [the other two were 'Fred Claus', about an accountant trying to stop Christmas, and 'Mr. Magorium', where the A-plot is an old man dying, the B-plot is a 20-something girl not sure what to do with her life, the C-plot is also an accountant trying to mess up toys, and only the D-plot is actually about a kid who likes toys]. But it was the only one that had stuff a kid would actually like, like a kid who hangs out with a monkey.

I don't know; I could never say 'Speed Racer' is all that good a movie, but the aspects of it that work are really amazing.

Saw Speed Racer opening weekend on IMAX. It does have a lot of flaws, chief among them that it's simply too long. But that cross-country race in the second act is about as perfect a live action realization of the animated source material as you are likely to find.

It's almost a shame that the Wachowskis had to tart up the remainder of the movie with the weird Escher track races for the ADD generation, because that cross-country race is what fans of the original came to see.
