@gooddream (And a very close friend of mine) wrote a recent post concerning the REMAKE of Death Race: 2000... a rather banal film offering. It happened, Jason Statham was cool, and it ended. Nobody much cared...

And Why?

Because it was cinema dross... It meant nothing. There was much violence, but no real content, aside from a rather paternal mechanic, played by Ian McShane... It was mere exploitative cinema fair...

Contrast this with the Original Death Race:2000.. A solid commentary on the burgeoning Tabloid Media of the 1970's. You will really have to watch it, With your Demon Eye to comprehend it. Yet this film, perhaps the greatest of the American exploitation films, cast (in great relief) this torment of the modern American age.

We are the terrible tragedy of a species desperately seeking to adapt to a level of technology (both material and political) that has out-stripped us. We frail beasts, that live in this terrible age of understanding...

Love to Those who Love,
