I saw a billboard today for the new Speed Racer movie, and I thought about going as an S2000 event. I have been to the Navy Pier IMAX before and it was a GREAT experience. I saw 300 and I Am Legend there.

http://www.imax.com/chicago/films/speedracer.htm

The showtime is Thursday May 15th at 7:00PM

Let's plan to meet at Charlie's Ale House at Navy Pier at 5:30. We can have dinner, perhaps a few beers (for those that are of age) and then head over to IMAX for the movie at 7:00.

If you are JUST interested in the movie, please indicate that on the List, so that I know who to look for.

Who else is interested? Please copy the list into your post and add your name if you are interested.

The List:

New date, time and plan all included in the first post.

The list starts NOW, so please reconfirm if you are interested.

Sorry Pete - I'm with Moony - SR sucked. I took my boys to see it Friday afternoon (my wife declined to "sit in a theater full of 40-ish men reliving their childhood") and, having already watched the first 7 minutes earlier that day thanks to Yahoo's preview, I was ready to walk out of the theater by the 30 minute point. Maybe I'm just not down with the whole big concept of racing when it's presented as 360 degree 4 wheel steering on a course that's a cross between my old bucket of hotwheels track (and just about as organized) and snowboarding. My final thought: please, Warshawsky brothers - stop tweeking and get off the meth.



ps - they COMPLETELY missed WHY the aminated Trixie character is hot. Not to disparage Christini Ricci, but that's a whole different twang. And Susan Sarandon as Mom Racer? C'mon....

I don't think there is any free parking in the area. I am planning to park in the main parking garage.

I am not looking for "LeMans," I am looking for speed racer, and all the colors and special effects that go with it.

It is getting mixed reviews, some like it, some don't. Either way, I'm going on thursday.

Whats up guys!

I'm new so I probably havent met any of you yet, but I'd be interested in going -- I'm here in the NW burbs.

I'll plan on seeing you there at 5:30 if everyone is still going.
