Movie Buzz With Speed Racer about to debut, the Wachowski-hatin’ starts anew. It’s been one long downward slide for the Wachowski brothers since the first Matrix, and the vultures are gathering, hoping for something to pick at after Speed Racer finally comes out. Their reclusiveness hasn’t helped matters much.
Sports Buzz Speed Racer fans can channel their racing enthusiasm into something concrete: The team behind the North American Eagle is trying to break the world landspeed record, and they need a driver. It could be you! Just send an email - 400 words about your racing background, and a photo - to landspeedracing@gmail.com, and you could become the face (and driver) of the North American Eagle team’s effort to bring the record back to continent for the first time since 1983.
Movie Buzz A new trailer for the live-action version of the ’60s car-toon hits the web. The movie doesn’t come out until May 9, but the new trailer has people excited again - the first teaser was a bit worrying for long-time fans of the animated series. (Update: The movie had a disappointing opening weekend.)
