Those Wachowski brothers have the best damn visual sense of any creative team these days. That’s the only thing that can describe why I’m fascinated by the new Speed Racer video.
I have to say this increases my anticipation of the movie. It looks gloriously stupid but so was the original series. Another thing the original Speed Racer had was fun. It was better than any other cartoon of the time and that time in question: 1967. Do you recall a cartoon that’s lasted in conscious memory that long?
Neither can I.
Let me also say that it’s the video’s visuals that sell me on the song. The video sold the radio star.
So what’s next on the remake list, Senor Wachowskis? If you tell me it’s Robotech consider my first born your forever indentured servant.
