    They should cut it by 15 min - release as a special edition! :)
  • Tom
    Just read that Speed Racer really flopped.

    Makes me sad, the film deserved better.
  • jettloe
    Ahh Cloverfield...didn't see it. I know that Jeff Love had a look so will see what his opinion his.
  • jettloe
    Yeah - with LTA on semi-hiatus, (without the Wayne it's not worth the pain), TFT is offering a similar release valve for me!
  • jettloe
    I like 'Friction of Options'...think I saw them when they opened for the White Stripes back in 2004.
  • sp: options (above) should read opinions
  • Morning boys... it's me, the listener here. Enjoyed the show, glad there was some friction of options. Recommend you check out Mark Kermode's podcast review of Speed Racer (BBC5Live a week or two ago) ... he used the words "like putting your head in a candy floss maker" which seem apposite...
  • jettloe
    Gareth and I know there's only one of ya!
  • jettloe
    Well, we all know there really is only one listener 'Tom', if that is your real name - so you have as good a chance as anybody of winning the 'prize', (aka - a signed, coffee splattered photographic print taken by yours truly).

    "There can be only one"

    What are you saying Jett, do we all have to compete for "the prize" of being THE film talk listener? Should I go sharpen my claymore?

    Really enjoyed Speed Racer, it had its flaws but was ultimately original and entertaining. The Ghost car thing really didn't confuse me, was surprised so many people thought so. However, I was wondering wheter it was visible to the other spectators, as a projected best time thing in the video game sense, or just in the mind of Speed.

    Got extra points in my opinion for using "Free Bird".

    Cheers Matt, will really try to make TFT a weekly occurrence! :)
  • Jett and Gareth, I have to say, TFT is growing on me. With production more regular, I look forward to the new show as a part of my week.

    Interestingly enough, Kiley's comments to you all are pretty much the same as what I was going to submit for a review quote for SITC (though perhaps a bit facetiously).

    It seemed as though you guys may have drifted off into taglines for the film toward the end. I think we can't overlook: "On every street in every city, there's a nobody who dreams of being catty."

    God bless ya Kiley! :)
