While trying to keep up with all the casting news for the Wachowski brothers feature-length, live-action Speed Racer adaptation, I missed this bit of news.

As I've written before, the character of Chim Chim, Speed's monkey pal, would be played in the movie not by some animatronic 'bot or CGI creation, but by an actual flesh and blood chimp. Unfortunately, the chimp bit an actor on the set and was beaten, or so PETA was told, and the animal rights group sent a letter to producer Joel Silver asking him to stop using a real chimp.

Last week's winners:

2nd to Jamie: "Oh, good. I don't have to swallow it--it's a suppository."
1st to Brent McKee: "Rory just couldn't believe that her grandmother Emily had sent her this, complete with detailed operating instructions and a note that said she'd been using one just like it for years."

... and a special hats off to orimental, who reminded me that it's the one year anniversary of Subtle Subtitles. Cool!
