You Dropped a Bomb on Me, Baby! Speed Racer

I'm an avid fan of the famous anime, Speed Racer of the 60's but after watching the new Movie version by the Wachowski Bros. for Warner Bros., I am sick to my stomach.
It's candy coated CGI world was so saccharin I had to immediately take an Insulin shot so as not to go ballistic.
Doesn't anyone know how to act, write, or direct anymore? Emile Hirsch as Speed Racer was as plastic and two dimensional as the original. Only standouts are John Goodman as Pops Racer and Benno Fürmann as Inspector Detector.

The Wachowski Brothers have dropped an H-Bomb and it has left a mushroom cloud of a stink in the air.
Here's the Gap Band to emphasise my feelings!

Fiend Without a Face is scary and great Sci-Fi junk. Invisible brains with spinal tails that jump and attack you.

I don't know who the artist is but just the piece, Child's Bank #3 alone makes me think Rin Tashmoor is an up and coming GREAT!
I remember seeing this piece in Art Forum but I can't find anything else on the net with Tashmoor's artwork.

Holy Eucharist!

Necco Wafers had such a lovely assortment of pastel colors but that taste (yuk) was more bitter than sweet.
The only things I can compare them to are the Communion Wafers at Catholic Church and candy cigarettes back in the 60's.
