I spent four days on the set of
The Matrix Reloaded/Revolutions some years back covering the production for
Premiere but never got to speak to the Wachowski brothers. I walked past them a few times, stood (relatively) close to them while they were directing, but no words were ever exchanged. Which was a real shame because I was a huge fan of both
Bound and
The Matrix. And, as it turned out, I was one of the minority who really liked
Speed Racer. Roger Ebert bumped into the guys at a screening of
The Godfather in Chicago.
Here's his report.

just saw Speed Racer this weekend (twice). thought it was spectacular! i'm an easy audience for the bright colors and fast cars. sure, it was predictable and blah blah blah i don't really know why it was panned. it was FUN to watch. i was quite happy when the credits started to roll.
I agree. Don't know why it got so much stick.
I've noticed Speed Racer has been getting a whole bundle of pretty great DVD reviews. About bloody time.
Also, on blu-ray (the US release is region-free), it looks RIDICULOUSLY good...
Although I've read some that were moaning the extras weren't as good as they'd hoped... True?
