God help me, this might be good.

Perhaps my first exposure to the world of anime was Speed Racer. (If not that, it was 8th Man.) It was stupid and I hated it. It took a long time to get my head around the fact that all Japanese animation wasn't awful like Speed Racer.

My personal journey with the Matrix movies included reading the scripts before the second and third movies were released. I was not optimistic, and the films held no pleasant surprises.

How can I find myself thinking that the new Speed Racer flick written by the The Wachowski Siblings could be good?
