hmph. I like melodramatic description that is meant to be read by that guy with the gravelly voice who always narrates movie previews.
But then, of course I would.
See, in my fantasy, when I'm kissing you... you're kissing me. It's okay. I can wait.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
A dramatic series set against an illegal cross-country road race and its players and origins.
So it's Magnolia meets North by Northwest meets Death Race 2000?

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Wasn't that a movie in the 70s?
I'm telling you, it's Cannonball Run. Burt Reynolds, Dom Deluise and wacky highjinks.

See, I think it's part Amazing Race, part North by Northwest, and part Cannonball Run.

It sounds like Cannonball Run wasn't far off. Although, I would imagine this might be a little bit darker. Maybe.
Of course, xposty goodness. Oh, well.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
I dredged up the title of Cannonball Run as soon as I posted. It's a sign of my great love for Tim that I'm willing to IMDB Cannonball Run for him. Even if the frakking database told me that I was wrong and it was actually the 80s...
ps: Hec, how can you forget to mention Roger Moore?

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
Cannonball Run was Jackie Chan's first English language film.

Nope, I'm thinking Death Race 2000

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.
The Gumball Rally was 1976.
Raul Julia as Franco Bertollini: "And now my friend, the first rule of Italian driving." ::rips off his rear view mirror and throws it out of the car:: "What's behind me is not important."
The Cannonball Run was 1981. Not as good, IMHO.

I was thinking Vanishing Point which is one of those great movies that needs to be watched at 2am in the morning.
