Still haven't seen it yet, but...

sherrold passed this great link on to me from the Boston Globe, about the Fast and Furious franchise and how it is moving Hollywood movies toward a better representation of race. While he doesn't exactly love the movies for their content, it's one of the few articles I've seen from the mainstream that doesn't just trash them as, well, trash.

Oh, Dom and Brian, you're not just my BSOs and OTP, you're cultural touchstones, too. God bless you.

I haven't seen it yet either, but really appreciated this review - thanks so much for sharing it! I loved a lot of what he had to say, he's right on with the thinky stuff, and lines like "It would be like a grown-up “Sesame Street,” except for the deadly road races, and the fact that the puppets have tattoos, guns, muscles, bald heads, and a ton of moving violations." are not only funny as hell, but spot on target
