Def going to see this again in theaters. And glad it’s getting its due - Wachowskis trying to invent new ways to edit. Brilliant.

And their art proves itself in the final sequence, a race to beat all races you’ve ever seen at the movies. You know Speed’s going to win. From the moment Spritle stands up in awe and proclaims “He’s gonna do it,” you know he’s right. As he weaves in and out of cars, Speed experiences his entire life: his childhood dreams, his lectures, his disappointments. Speed suddenly feels the weight of everything that has brought him to this point, reads the first draft of the screenplay. He sees images and hears voices, flashing through his head, as though at his own death. You know he has to win. And he swirls the track into paint, he tears reality into streaks of light, he spins the finish line into a kaleidoscope of red and white squares, creating something aweing, terrifying, beautiful, ineffable. Throughout the sequence, every move, every cut, every shout of the crowd becomes an abstraction of emotion, takes you to a thrilling place you’ve never been—and it is so, so devastatingly effective because of everything that’s happened until now, everything that’s mattered so, so much.

Speed Racer: Cubist Cinema In the Wachowskis’ earnest work, Speed Racer valorizes a supportive family just as much as it celebrates acts of love and a true love of art.

Speed Racer is coming back to theaters before the new 4K remaster hits discs, so it's time for me to remind you that Speed Racer is a cubist masterpiece

If they do Tony Scott, do you think we could get them to record Pelham 123 on the actual 6 line?

Exactly. I did laugh out loud while reading this Dawn of Justice piece, but part of what I loved with John Carter was the sheer immensity of the work you put in, it was felt

That John Carter piece you reference is one of my favorite Mike Ryan pieces

I can trace a direct line from the Twitter film community to becoming a part of BW/DR to publishing my first film book. At its peak, Twitter was responsible for some beautiful connections
