Yeah. I don't get it. The first few episodes of SR are worthy of full-length movies - esp the Mammoth Car episodes.

But because Hollywood is run by an agglomeration of ninnies and twits, we get this fucking p.o.s.

CRAP. No waffles.

esp the Mammoth Car episodes.

Spoiler...





"The car..Is made of GOLD!"

Yeah, that or the GRX engine episode..."I'm going into another dimension...A dimension of speed!"

Right? And we get this piece. Are Chim Chim and Spritle in the movie?

Yup. Real-monkey ala Lance Link...

I'm still going to see it.

What amazes me is every trailer and commercial I've seen for this thing manages to look like they spent a ton of money on it -- and yet it still looks cheap and shoddy at the same time. GCI is the work of the devil, I tell you.

There was a little Mach 5 car in the box of Cheerios I opened the other day. Pull it backward and off it goes. It's providing me with far more entertainment than I imagine this movie ever could.

(And yeah, Christina Ricci looks adorable in the trailer, but for fifty cents I can go to the neighborhood video store, rent Prozac Nation and see her naked. That seems better value for money.)

All I've seen are the teevee commercials for it. It seems fine to me. I vaguely remember liking the cartoon as a kid, but honestly the only childhood memory of the show that I have is that the car was shaped crazy. I'm sure they did a good enough job of capturing that aspect of it in the new one.

I really couldn't care less one way or the other about them having made this film.

"more bang for the buck" might almost be appropriate here.

I just wanted to reiterate, for my own sake, how fucking HORRID this movie seems. Just miles and miles away from watchable. A new standard for no-standards. Don't give these dickheads your money, not even in jest (It's that bad.)

I already read two very positive reviews of this shit.

No, really.

I tried watching the movie on Saturday. I lasted about 10 minutes.
