me, john, jess and a friend from work checked out the opener to the charlottesville virginia film festival last week called faster (<!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.fastermovie.com">http://www.fastermovie.com</a><!-- m -->)
it was a really good movie that documented the 2001 and 2002 seasons of motogp narrated by ewan mcgreggor who apparently is a huge motogp fan. it focused a lot on the rivalry of valentino rossi and max biaggi which is a hugely entertaining story in itself, but also managed to squeeze in a lot about the change from 2 stroke engines to 4 strokes, safety concerns, some n00bs, and just the series in general. i found myself gettin goosebumps and just feeling on edge during some of the scenes and now i really really really want a bike. i highly recommend anyone seeing it or renting it or whatever. maybe john or jess would wanna chime in with their impressions?
