Hey is this one of those "new" "unobtrusive " marketing techniques that I saw profiled on one of those hour long news programs last week?

You get marketed to, but you don't realize that you are. SO that makes you think that what you are being marketed is cooler than what it is. Somehow you are now in the "KNOW" about something new.

Not saying that "FASTER" is not cool, it might be. Just wondering...

Real racers, real bikes, real races.  It's a documentary, not some lame bullsh1t biker boyz crap.

Much as the matrix was "nerd porn", this movie shall be a cult classic as "road-racer porn"

Just don't pull a "Paul Reubens" or else I'm not sitting anywhere near you in the theater.

Out here in the boondocks it takes a while to download anything over the twine and soup-can phone system.  The trailer for this movie took about an hour.  I just got up in the night, started the download, and went back to bed.
That trailer blew away the best commercials and intros of the old Speedvision.  At one point, Rossi makes the comment, "When first I go to try thee five-haandreed..." (we see a bike snap sideways and launch it's rider straight up.) "Oh FAAK!!!"
No Biker Boyz crap here.  This is going to be the movie that replaces "On Any Sunday" in our hearts.  Man, I can't wait.

Better than "On Any Sunday"?

I don't know...

A big bike is cool, but it's kind of like special effects...

I liked Top Gun for the jet scenes, but Lawrence of Arabia is certainly a better move about men...not about jets.

Did you see the trailer, Dave?  It looks like this will be a documentary on GP racing from the perspective of the real riders.  No FX, just cameras like "On any Sunday" couldn't dream of back in the day.
BTW, All I have to do is start humming the "On Any Sunday" theme to myself, and my eye sockets get all sweaty.  I replaced my worn out VHS tape with a DVD last year.  I can quote most of the funny lines from that movie, and influence from the humor and gentle sarcasm of the narration can be redily noticed in the writing I do for Chicagoland Motorsports News.  I know that nothing will ever cover the breadth of motorcycling as a whole the way "On Any Sunday" did, but this looks to be the first movie about ANY form of motorsport since "LeMans" in 1970 to give an accurate portrayal of racing.  I just hope that the movie can live up to the trailer.
