I counted the cuts in 8,770 films from the last century to find out how many shots a movie has now, and how fast we are cutting.

I didn't see a mention of Speed Racer (2008), which frequently edits from shot to shot with layered pans and crash zooms. I really wonder how he counted that movie.

    That's a great little movie, fun for the whole family without being cloying or silly.

    No, I retract that, because it's silly in the best way.

    Magical cars, super intelligent monkeys, anti-gravity race tracks, and a 16 year old girl with a helicopter parked in the garage.
