Speed Racer is a gorgeous movie that's unlike anything you've ever seen before. The colors are simply beautiful, and the racing scenes are about as fun as they get, but between all the dazzle are stretches of tedium that will make all but the most diehard 8 year old boy twitch in the seats uncomfortably. There's so much the Wachowski Brothers got right in this movie, but ultimately the 135 minute running length is a bit too much of a good thing. I'd actually love to see a heavily edited version of this film that chops about 25 minutes out of it, and it'd be a damn fine work of art. So underneath it all, there's really a pretty great movie underneath. I'm just geeky enough to love it because they got the pogo jumping sound effects just right. The cast is really great, too, especially Matthew Fox who is even more cool and kickass than you'd ever thought he could be. It's worth watching if you have some patience. And it might be a good justification to see something fantastic on an IMAX screen if you can. Otherwise, I'd save your dough. Only for the most diehard Speed Racer and/or Wachowski fans.

I was busy spending my typical Friday holed up in my office
looking to see if the Blu-Ray edition of The Wizard has been released yet,
when something stuck out like a sore thumb on the DVD cover. Fred Savage
is wearing a Nintendo Power Glove! Now, there's nothing wrong with this at
all, especially when you're eager to impress Jenny Lewis, but the thing
is...HE NEVER WORE IT IN THE MOVIE! What a load of crap. I can't believe
such blatantly false and misleading marketing is being used to sell this
90 minute Nintendo commercial masquerading as a movie.
Everyone knows, this is how it really came down. Lucas
still qualifies as one of the all time greatest bad guys to ever appear in
a Fred Savage video game film.
TOP 20 POP CULTURE PLANTS
Plants, trees, vines, and vegetation of all sorts have
played an important part of pop culture since pop culture first existed.
From The Garden of Eden to The Sherwood Forest, plants big and small have
influenced literature, TV shows, and toys from all generations. This list
started out as kind of a joke but the more I thought about it, the more I
totally dug the idea. Plus any chance I have to write about Kooky Spooky
Trees is worth it.

Robert Berry and Bradley Mason Hamlin will be bringing you the goods I'm very excited to announce that in late 2008 we'll be publishing not one but TWO different retroCRUSH books! The first book, simply titled RETROCRUSH will be a fun bathroom reader collection of random retro fun that will blow your mind. It'll have all new features, tons of artwork and crazy surprises throughout. We'll have some pre-order information and savings soon! Our second book is a work of humor fiction that will both blow your mind and make you laugh your ass off (and I've seen some of your asses, so that's a good thing). I'm going to remain tight-lipped about the story because it's that great, but there are more zombies in it than you can count! And lastly, after a year long drought, we're bringing back some great retroCRUSH shirts, so watch out for those. But biggest and best of all, we're working with Brad Hamlin over at Mystery Island to bring you an amazing new secret adventure, so the fun just isn't going to stop. It's definitely going to be the next big thing, and you'll be able to get in on it "way back when".
If you never got a chance to see the show TRU CALLING, the
complete series is being released on August 12th. I have to say, I figured
it was just another Ghost Whisperer/Medium rip-off, but it's a pretty damn
good show. Eliza Dushku is of course, great, but the real treat is Jason
Priestley who plays a great asshole badguy.
WB's "Justice League" is coming out on Blu-Ray on August
19th. Also worth checking out is the complete DC Heroes Filmation cartoons
that were played in between the Batman, Aquaman, and Superman toons of the
'60s and '70s.
NEW INDIANA JONES TOYS SPY PHOTOS!
We've got exclusive spy pictures of the latest Indiana
Jones figures. Tons of them! Well, OK...they're just photos I took in the
aisle of our local Target, but I was wearing black clothes when I took
them. Well, black is more slimming.

AND BE AMAZED!
I've dug up a "gold mine" (gold meaning crap) of comic
strips from about 10 years or so ago that I did that I thought would be
funny to feature here again. They're pretty fucking horrible, and
offensive, but maybe, just maybe, you can get a laugh or two.
