Yup, can't wait, tihs has come up several times over the last year. Expectations are very very high.

On another forum I'm on, people have been complaining about the historical accruracy. The issue? I E36 M3 you not, they are complaining that the chin strap on Lauda's helmet is in the wrong place, and if it had been there in real life then his helmet couldn't have come off in his crash. Yes, that's how far they are having to go to find issues!!! This is going to be epic.

They've done a great job using Hemsworth as Hunt and Daniel Brühl as the rat

I"ve never wanted to be in movies, fame has never appealed, but damn I would like to have hung out on the set for the racing parts of this production.

I thought this was going to be a thread on the spring leg of the band's tour.

But on topic, Ron Howard has learned a few things about movies since these gems:

Unfortunately, I saw 'Eat My Dust' @ the movie theater, back in the day.

Call me crazy, but, somehow I feel 'Rush' will be a better experience...

I am more than a little bit excited for this flick. I need to read "Shunt" before I go see it...

BTW, is that Olivia Wilde as Hunt's wife (I assume his second wife, Sarah Lomax?)

Oh, boy. Look out for the Rush crazies now.

I like the band well enough, but their fans can be a bit... enthusiastic.

I don't know why they're so polarizing. The drummer is perfectly adequate and the lead singer has a very nice soprano voice. I bet she's quite the fetching lady.

I must argue with your fixoration, it hasn't fixxored it, it's confuzled and inacuratized it. I've met just as many crazies this side of the boarder.

Back to the movie, I'm hoping it's going to be something we can all get excessively enthusiastic about.
