seriousley, you are all way too paranoid.

YES, the movies suck monster cock. YES, they are a terribly poor representation of all things automotive, and most of the time aren't in any way shape or form realistic. YES, they cars are riced out pieces of crap. YES, the acting is terrible. YES, the writing, directing, and stories are terrible, for that matter.

but you know what?

IT'S JUST A FUCKING MOVIE!!!

if you don't want to see it, DON'T! yeah it'll probably cause an influx of idiots and ricers into the drift scene...but really, can it get much worse then it already is? i'm already agast at how trendy and popular the whole drift scene has become, with all these faggots running around with their Pep Boys modifications and claiming to be the next Takumi Fujiwara. how can it get much worse when a few kids see a movie?

and say what you will about it, but i fucking hate the corporate mess that is Formula D. good action, yes. but i refuse to watch it, because most of the companies who are involving themselves in it are only looking for a quick buck from the latest trend and are not looking to support drifting's growth and development, or to help drifting STAY popular . this is my opinion, and i'll stick to it. if you want to attack it, then i suggest not bothering because many have tried and have not swayed my opinion on this matter.

if you really truly are a devoted drifting enthusiast, and not one of the aforementioned fan-boys who jumped on the bandwagon recently, then a stupid movie won't "ruin drifting" for you. sure it'll make you groan, and will annoy you because of a few more idiotic ricers running around. but take me for an example. i have been into drifting since 1997. 1997! when did drifting become big here? 2003? maybe even 04? i was VERY happy when my automotive passion was underground, and only the select few knew about it. that way, you could tell who was hardcore and devoted, and who wasn't. now-adays, it's harder and harder to tell. drifting has gone through alot in the past year or 2, and alot of it has been things that i don't like or don't agree with. but you know what? i've been into drifting for fucking 8 years now. i'm not about to let a couple of faggoty fan boys or a couple of greedy corporations ruin the sport that i've loved for so long. if you are TRULY a devoted drift fan, all this hype and BS will just slide off your back. you'll say "no worries, i still love the sport for what it is.", and that will be that. those of you who are getting worked up into a tizzy about the movie are those who are taking yourselves way too seriousley, and perhaps are taking this sport way too seriousley. just go out there, have fun, and don't give a fuck about what everyone else is doing. that's my attitude, and it's got me this far, and i'm not turning back now. in a few years, when the next fad rolls in and drifting dies down a bit, it will prove who REALLY is a drifting enthusiast, and who was just a fan boy. chances are, most of the fan boys will jump ship to the next magazine cover, and those of us who are left are the ones who truly love drifting.

and to those of you who said either of the first movies were good...jesus christ, go out and see some real movies...for the sake of yourself and the rest of us car enthusiasts.
