Nicely done, Newsweek. I guess they’re pulling for Hillary?
This is basically an interview with John Gaeta about the approach taken in the upcoming remake of Speed Racer. The movie looks great, and I’m such a fan of the Wachowski brothers that this is on my must see list. The Matrix and V for Vendetta are among my favorite movies in large part because of the visual and stylistic weight of their films.
I’ll leave it to you to explain why.

The original is on Newseek’s site, and I found this via this blog thanks to Atrios.
Just when I say I’m down on Technorati, they set up an interesting deal with Newsweek to integrate blog coverage into their web site. Technorati CEO David Sifry gives a good rundown of the features on his blog. It’s essentially the sports buzz features I’ve been running here but they’re integrating it into stories and giving it a section on the web site.
You can see the Newsweek Blog Roundup today.
Update: It’s “gratifying” to see they only have around a hundred link in when you get to stories further down the list. Blogging about politics is HUGE compared to blogging about sports. It’s amazing to me that this is the case, but it’s most definitely true. I’ve always been surprised at the small number of good sports bloggers out there, which makes it tougher to sell blogs to folks at work. Politics has the right intersection of writers and passionate fans, I guess.
