My 10 Year Old Son Couldn't Sleep

[Chasing Embers]

I decided a movie might be in order so I pulled out the 2008 live action "Speed Racer". He's been glued to the screen and has been cheering throughout the movie. He's reminded me why I've always loved it.

I did not know that a live action movie had been made but we used to watch the animated
Speed Racer and Kinnikuman (M.U.S.C.L.E.) series on Betamax in the mid-1980s.

A pickup with a trailer pulled up to me at a red light here other day and on the trailer was a custom made replica of the Mark 5 .. was def cool and brought up memories of simpler happier days.
Did some googling and seems the owner lives in Daytona (at least the owner of one of them) so that makes sense as it's right up the road.
Doug Flutie owns a custom replica of the original Bat Mobile and I see him on the road all the time, he takes it to local car shows and charity events.

Whenever i read stories to my kids (3 of them) most fell asleep within 15 minutes of me talkin'..either my story telling is so good, or they all get bored to death and decided that sleep is a better option
and it never fails. every single time..all went to sleep

Dang, I really wanted to see this movie when it came out but never did. Thanks for the reminder!

For some reason I can't get into live action remakes of cartoons.
