No Speed NO!!!!

So the Oscar nominations are out today. While I'm happy to see Milk and the Dark Knight, both get eight nominations a piece. I was sad to see Speed Racer didn't get a nomination of Visual Effects. I, personal, found the film to be one of the best films of the year. But it wasn't everyone's cup of tea. But even if you hated the movie, it had damn good effects. The thing was nothing but high speed, candy colored, LSD inspired goodness.

I think The Beat said it best:

"Note: we like IRON MAN just fine but that’s purely a popularity vote; SPEED RACER had far better effects. Yes! We said it!"

I concur.
