Maybe Speed Should Have Consulted the Oracle

Remember when you were eight and it was nice outside and you ran to the corner store to buy six dollars' worth of lemonade mix and you set up a stand in the driveway and waited all day for customers to drive through your cul-de-sac and finally your mom felt sorry for you and gave you a buck and winced as she drank the warm swill?

Remember that?

That's how the Wachowski brothers feel today about Speed Racer's box office numbers. What is that? A 16% return on their budget?

I hope they had fun making it. At least it got them out of the house.
