Speed Racer

It's a pity the Speed Racer movie was so bizarre. What a great cartoon!



I love the run-on dialog. Plus the way the other drivers near the beginning of this first episode are so deferential to Speed.

"You beat us fair and square."

"Speed Racer" is always good for cartoon-camp laughs, plus it's a healthy reminder of the healthy amount of gratuitous violence one encountered in the cartoons of yore.

Whoa. "Heroes" teaser



I've enjoyed the first two seasons of "Heroes" quite a bit. The acting has been solid and the stories have been addictive, creative and surprising. The new season looks like it will offer more of the same.
