The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift opens this weekend. It will not have  Paul Walker or Vin Diesel but here is the story line from yahoo movies “Sean Boswell is an outsider who attempts to define himself as a hot-headed, underdog street racer. Although racing provides a temporary escape from an unhappy home and the superficial world around him, it has also made Sean unpopular with the local authorities. To avoid jail time, Sean is sent to live with his gruff, estranged father, a career military-man stationed in Tokyo. Now officially a gaijin… ”

Paul walker and Vin Diesel will not appear in the movie. The Third film picks up with Diesel’s story. Where he heads down to Mexico and then finds his way to Japan, the street racing capitol of the world. So I am not sure how they will work it with out Diesel?

The movie also introduces us to a “drifting” which is a street racing move. I found a nice explanation on this site: http://streetracing.tiora.net/japan/drift/drift1.htm

“What Is Drifting?

  Basically, drifting is getting your car sideways down a road. It doesn’t sound very hard does it? Sounds a lot like power sliding huh? Well it isn’t. It’s much more complex. Instead of a drifter causing a drift and then countering to straighten out, he will instead over-counter so his car goes into another drift. That is the reason many drifters do it in the mountains, because there are many sharp turns strung together. So in essence a good drifter has the ability to take five or six opposing turns without having traction at any point in time.”

I hope this film does not inspire a whole group of kids to try this on the city streets of America.

Really, Morgan Spurlock goes to jail, but not really. Let me explain.

The director of the super successful documentary ‘Super Size Me’ checked himself into prison. Not because he broke the law but for a new special that will air July 26 on FX. He was slatted to stay for 30 days; however he only made it 23 days.

Spurlock says of his time in prison and stereo types, “One of them is that you imagine jail, and prison, being filled with all these bad guys,” Spurlock told the Richmond Times-Dispatch. “And I’ll be the first person to say there’s people that are locked up who should be locked up. But at the same time, I think there’s a lot of good, honest, genuine people in there who made a mistake … “
While it sounds like it was fairly realistic the AP reports; “He lived in a cell like everybody else,” Wade said. ” We treated him just like an inmate.”
The county jail system includes approximately 1,200 prisoners accused of offenses ranging from drug counts to murder.
“Of course he didn’t stay with any of the capital murderers,” Wade said, adding, however, that Spurlock did spend 72 hours in solitary confinement.”

I am a big fan of Spurlock. I watched his movie and loved it. It shook up a nation and forced the fast food industry to start caring about the food they serve. I also enjoy his TV show ‘30’ days. So I am sure I will watch this one in late July.
