I’m all over this movie, despite the terrible casting. Damon is a panzie. It is going to be really frustrating seeing him playing an iconic real-life tough guy. I can just see Matt Damon dropping nitro pills for his heart during an auto race. NOT!
Here is hoping the casting does not completely ruin the movie. My biggest fear is that the racing is only going to be a small bit of the movie.
My favorite racing movie is LeMans. The cars ARE the characters. Best racing movie of all time and 2nd place is not even close. No talking. No love story. OK, 3 minutes of talking and love story, and Steve McQueen probably fought like the dickens to remove even that from the film. I don’t think there is any dialogue the first 20 minutes of LeMans, and the sound of the cars on the track is just heavenly.
I hate watching auto racing these days. The idiot announcers feel they have to talk about inane BS through the ENTIRE race. It can be 3 hours, 5 hours or 12 hours. These jackasses will just spew crap the entire race and NEVER broadcast the beautiful motor noises of the cars themselves for any length of time.
Morons. I hate how they are ruining racing broadcasts with their CONSTANT worthless banter. It is infuriating.
And the announcers love affair with Toyota and Kyle Busch, who is as mature as my little brother...
