The fight in the city is the absolute nadir of that already bad film. But, before then it was clunky. The finale is just nauseating in its complete lack of humanity or dignity.Quoting Ezee E (view post)

Haven't seen Speed Racer and I'm not sure I'm going to dig it, but that banner is incredibly striking. Bravo! It's about time something more mainstream became the banner.

The movie lost any type of dignity a while ago...

It made me uncomfortable.
Dude, PeeWee was way more uncomfortable!Quoting Ezee E (view post)

I am glad there is room in my heart for both Henry Fonda and Speed Racer.
...seriously, this is getting rediculous. I motion to have a Southland Tales image instead. At least that movie had some ideas in it.
Discussion ongoing in Banner thread in Maintenance subforum. For one, Speed Racer was generally considered more enjoyable, cogent, and fun by the forum denizens than the massive clusterfuck that was Southland Tales.
Wrong.Quoting Sycophant (view post)

I hope it gets changed to this next...
"All right, that's too hot. Anything we can do about that heat?"
"Rick...it's a flamethrower."
It's just a general feeling that I had rather than something directed at a specific movie. There's nothing wrong with the Leone banner.Quoting Scar (view post)

Hug.Quoting Scar (view post)
Speed Racer banner > Dark Night banner
but
Winston*'s banner > all
I'd love to see a banner of the final shot of The Shining. Maybe even instead of saying Overlook Hotel, we could change it to "Match Cut, July 4th Ball."
