| The Slow and the Tedious. |
| By Dave Shoe - 10/12/2002 12:00:54 AM; IP 67.4.129.71 |
I saw a smidgen of "The Fast and the Furious". Fortunately, it was only about ten minutes worth at my sister's house, over a holiday visit.
The portion I saw was the road race between the wheelie-popping Roadrunner and some over-nitroused import.
The stoplight was red. The train tracks were a certified quarter mile ahead. The first to cross would win everything (which was, as I recall, nothing).
Light turns green. Roadrunner launches with usual wheelie. Import does whatever imports do to get off the line.
They show the cars rowing through like twenty gears or so, boring the HELL outta me. At about gear forty three the import hits the NOS button and lunges from about three feet behind the front of the Roadrunner to about three feet ahead of it. The train tracks remain ahead in the distance.
This segment was like the most BORING three minutes of my life. I've never seen it take so long for ANYTHING to run two blocks down the street.
