Two words High Adrenaline & Dj Keoki's remix of the theme track is very good. New U.S. Release Speed Racer By TODD MCCARTHY http://www.variety.com/review/VE1117936990.html?categoryid=31&cs=1 In its thinly developed narrative, dully functional dialogue, paramount devotion to family cohesion and somewhat cheesy, albeit expensive, CGI-against-greenscreen look, “Speed Racer” reminds one of nothing so much as Robert Rodriguez’s “Spy Kids” movies. Like them, the new pic is tolerable fun for the easy to please, but completely silly if held up to any scrutiny. It also remains mystifying why producers currently believe it’s a good idea for moppet-aimed movies to run well over two hours. Which is not to say the target audience won’t be amused, or at least distracted, through most of “Speed Racer.” With the visual aesthetic of Japanese anime shot through with vidgame dynamics, this glossy, outsized bauble with a perky cast will make kids feel right at home. For others, however, it will be a cinematic pile-up. The Wachowskis’ script includes a procession of mild twists, withheld identities and mysterious motivations, but its throughline unwaveringly stresses the goodness and purity of the independent maverick over the venality of profit-obsessed corporations. Former qualities are embodied by every member of the quaintly named Racer family: rock-solid car designer Pops (John Goodman), steadfast Mom (Susan Sarandon) and racing-mad sons Rex (Scott Porter), Speed (Emile Hirsch) and Spritle (pint-sized Goodman lookalike Paulie Litt). Time-jumping opening reveals how the handsome, dashing Rex seemingly died in an epic crash years back, an event that haunts Speed, whose skill is now such that he’s courted by unctuous tycoon Royalton (Roger Allam) to join his team of top drivers. When rejected, however, Royalton turns nasty and suggests Speed is just as washed up as his late brother. The action pulls over for occasional pit stops involving Racer family mix-ups; some literal monkeyshines (Spritle’s constant companion in mischief is a mug-happy chimp); and secondary characters that include an Asian racing team (among them a driver played by Korean pop sensation Rain, who will boost B.O. in that part of the world), a sports corruption investigator, a band of very broadly played thugs who ineptly try to put the brakes on Speed, and a mysterious masked man named Racer X (Matthew Fox) who may or may not be Rex resurrectus. But for the most part, “Speed Racer” is on the move, which keeps the eyes busy but also presents plausibility problems for anyone impertinent enough to pose them. The racing venues, both man-made and in a cross-country rally, resemble a fearsome combination of roller coaster, slalom course and skateboard facility; they’re contorted with impossible twists and turns, quadruple black-diamond grades, open-air gaps and deliberate obstacles. Some cars are equipped with weapons, such as the illegal spearhook, designed to take out competitors. Vehicles glide through curves, turn on a dime, vault high into the air, ride on their noses and otherwise comport themselves in physically impossible ways. All this indisputably augments the desired spectacle. But it doesn’t stimulate excitement or suspense, for the simple reason that you don’t know what the rules are or what constitutes genuine jeopardy. Time and again, Speed and other drivers endure what seem like catastrophic crashes and accidents, only to simply keep on trucking without apparent ill effect. Repeatedly, there are no consequences to road peril, just continuous cutting to new situations and unvaried high speeds. The editing is so fast that this film alone will considerably reduce the average length of a sustained shot in Hollywood features. Stylistically, the Wachowskis have devoted themselves here to lateral moves, ushering big faces on and off the screen as if on a conveyor belt; the effect is attention-getting through sheer uniqueness. Clearly, no expense was spared in the effects arena; viewers who love to bathe in the latest CGI innovations will be in a corner of heaven here, even if the layering of brilliantly in-focus objects within a single frame at times resembles nothing so much as a kindergartener’s art collage. Cinematographer David Tattersall, who lensed the three most recent “Star Wars” entries, knows how to get the most out of the new Sony F-23 HD camera, and all technical hands had an evident field day. If Michael Giacchino’s playful and busy score ever lets up for a minute during the movie, it’s impossible to notice for all the other sounds booming forth. Cast is very good for this sort of thing, not that much is asked of the actors other than to look alert and driven. In a far cry from “Into the Wild,” Hirsch is well-scrubbed and appealing as the title character. As his loyal lifelong girlfriend, Christina Ricci looks more fetching than ever, positively radiating from the screen. Goodman and Sarandon are stalwart, little Litt is a firecracker and Allam, rather like a noncampy Tim Curry, makes a delicious love-to-hate villain.

Late reply..... Webster Hall 125 East. 11th Street or Mansion New York 530 West 28th St

Great posts about the first good impression of house music or good dance music in general....

Found this old post and I been hanging out recently with a crew of fellas and ladies that love some old school rap...He's name always comes up..So here's a nod to a Dj hip/hop legend...And does he still have that car show on cable? The big dog loves some automobiles. www.funkmasterflex.com http://www.myspace.com/funkmasterflex

A legend with the sound of trance, ambient, drum & bass, etc... I viewed the video Better Living Through Circuitry a 1999 documentary about Electronic dance music culture and was impressed with the madness he's been through. I remember reading his name every weekend on some club flyer in NYC,but he's gone international and hasn't frequent the city often. He is major influenced to the great chaotic enjoyment of the club scene, when NYC actually never slept. http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&friendid=105811214

Give me BEATS at the BEACH....

OH SHIT???? Please GAY DUCK, Junior wouldn't spin FOR YOU these days with your WACK STALKING SELF! One thing is sure, you definitely won't be QUACKING in that room; They would enjoy having JUNIOR on the bill of that party and it would end up being the same SUCCESS like his last FREEDOM excellent party with hot babes and party people at Cielo. Still..this is gonna be "QUACK FREE HEAVEN"...after everyone has been to parties where you are not....hahaha...it's gonna be "THE" party where "music" does matter more.....hahahahahaha ...and isn't that the exact same line-up for Pride weekend months ago, you mentioned GAY DUCK??? (beside the genius idea of adding Junior to play the people in the morning)! YES! GAY DUCK is MADLY obsessed with JUNIOR!

http://www.neptunebeachclub.net/ It's going to be sweeeeeeeeeeeeet this weekend there....

When's he going to play @ a bigger club like PachaNYC in the city? I love the intimate feel of Cielo, but I'm sure he can work the system at a larger venue... Tedd's myspace below: http://www.myspace.com/teddpatterson www.teddpatterson.com

I wonder if this club will have an after hours night? Perhaps not with the closing hours restrictions in that area, but I guess it's too early to find out.

It seems to me more and more super star djs are playing less gigs in NYC.... I wonder if it's because the mega clubs are becoming instinct and PachaNYC & Webster hall are not always the favorite choice for many????

Let's go back, waaaaaaaaaay back, back into time....

What's he up to these days, besides the PachaNYC event this weekend? Since a lot of haters left the board, he's has gotten little PR with the members. http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&friendid=50400582

The album was a project designed by Prince to promote Electra, his latest protégé at the time whom he was also dating, as a sexy female rapper. The album features music written by Prince with some input by band member Levi Seacer, Jr.. Lyrics were provided by Prince, along with Seacer, NPG rapper Tony M. and female rapper Monie Love. Four singles were released from the album: "Go Go Dancer", "Everybody Get on Up", "Fantasia Erotica" and "Fun". The album was not well received and effectively ended Electra's recording career. In interviews, she has pointed out that during the time of the album's release, Prince was having problems with his label which could have contributed to its failure.

I'm taking a summer credit class on thursday evenings, so I won't be able to hang. I read your board and everyone seems psyched for the gig...

Did someone say classics...

I found two more... DJ Portia Surreal http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&friendID=308202580 DJ Diva http://www.djdiva.nl/

I would venture into those crazy them parties and find some hot gurls with no shirts, dancing the night away.... These aren't your average girls...These are the ones that know who there are and what they are all about.....INDEPENDENCE! Love em! http://www.synthtopia.com/content/2003/12/04/portia-surreal-the-topless-dj/ Alright hottie with that Twisted record bag. Here’s proof that all it takes to get ahead in the competitive DJ world is a great pair… Of turntables. And something tells us that if they are full of plastic, the clubbers will be up all night. DJ Portia Surreal, is “up and comingâ€, according to her site, as a New York DJ and “glowing disco ball vixenâ€. She’s appeared with some of the DJ world’s headline acts, including Sandra Collins and Tiesto. She mixes it up with an emphasis on dark house and break beat cuts. She’s a bit of an curiousity in the DJ world. Surreal developed her theatrical approach in the underground fetish and goth scenes. Her stripped-down approach to electronica has taken her around the world. We’re waiting for her to get to Kansas. Her site has news, tour schedules, and (surprise!) photos of the self-billed “Erotic Fetish DJ Extraordinaireâ€.

Can't stop, because these djs are New York & without them NYC will become more bland than it is, Boring Apple instead of the Big Apple. We are not just Jonathan, Danny, Victor, Junior, Boris,etc..hopefully we are more than that with a great diversity of djs in the city to show and exploit what the planet has. But if we rather have a NYC Club message board that prefers insulting posts & threads plus bitching and complaining about the party life in the city, we have a big problem that we don't realize.

One of the most relaxed atmosphere parties, with no attitude.... Glad to attend this NYC party with people who are there to get there body shaking without that Models,Bottles,& Reserved Tables attitude. This party is one of a dying breed that needs to live long to revive NYC... www.bodyandsoul-nyc.com

Can't touch the homie since he has been djing in NYC for quite some time and has acquired a following to this day... I hate clubs in the summer, so I'm glad when he does a gig outdoors.. Looking forward to one in the Hamptons if outdoors is allowed...Play it JP! www.myspace.com/jpnyc www.jonathanpeters.com/
