...it's an okay movie: perfectly servicable Standard Hollywood Treatment^TM^; competently written, directed, performed, and edited; genre trope in-jokes liberally sprinkled throughout...
...i believe most positive reactions stem from defying expectations that it be a bad movie, rather than actually being good...
...i got honorable mention in the history fair in fourth grade; i think i still have the ribbon in a box...
...how about jupiter's moon?..
...grant imahara should've been cast as reed richards... =(
...human empathy is not a team sport...
...oh, i think you misunderstand me: that's not impaired driving, that's skillful navigation through the normal flow of traffic in sàigòn...

...a lot of us drive open-topped in light rain - as long as you keep moving the cabin stays fairly dry - but we've been caught in torrential downpours a couple of times and come through soaked to the bone before managing to pull off and raise our various tops and targas...next sunny day, you open everything up, let it dry out completely, and follow-up with a detail if it still bothers you...
...when a group of twenty or thirty high-profile cars pull into a small town fuel station, it can draw a lot of attention, positive and negative, but not so much when we pull into a remote roadhouse since those tend to be more common destinations...
...for folks really into the scene, the real rock stars were cars driven in open road races, not the trailer queens: it's a modest culture which respects real-world capability and experience more than flashy showmanship...use it or lose it, as they say...
