@Little Mintz Sunshine
Definitely Cryer for Dr. Benton Quest, and Warburton for Race. And I guess Kai Penn will complain a little before knuckling down and playing the role of Haji.

The fun, wacky, self-effacing finger pointing to your partner in a picture is inversely related to how much the movie/you are going to suck. Hello, Tom Cruise.

Having always been a "Racer X" girl, I must express my total disdain for the casting of dead-eyed human cardboard cut-out and weasley-voiced Matthew Fox in the role.

What next, geniuses? Jon Cryer as Race Bannon?

I don't generally say this about actors...

But I would...with my own hands...

Wash Chris Eigeman's dirty underwear...

After, of course, I helped him...ahem...take them off (only with his wife's approval, particpation...WHATEVER)...

SIGH!!!

I predict that Speed Racer will kill in Korea, and unfortunately they'll probably be depending on that.

Susan Sarandan will rope in the Cougar/wicked queen/sweet transvestite audience and bring in Speed Racer at $55 mil

I'll stay home and bathe the cockapoo since my local theater is still showing "88 Minutes".

Okay, how funny is is that the poster for "What Happens In Vegas" says "Get Lucky" with Ashton pointing to Cameron. Art imitating life? Nah. More like a sure thing in real life!

As for "Turn the River" I sure hope some of Whit Stillman's talent rubbed off on Chris Eigeman.
