Confidential to Hollywood Foley Artists: Stop putting freewheel ratchet sounds on fixed gears. It was terrible in Quicksilver (starring Kevin Bacon) and it's still terrible today.

If this film succeeds, it will only be a matter of time until there's a movie about some goddamn tall bike. Thus—this post notwithstanding—we will not be covering or reviewing PREMIUM RUSH in any way, shape, or form.

Also, Quicksilver WHAT

Damn, wetduck beat me to the Quicksilver reference. Props? I guess?

If you haven't seen it, maybe you should review Quicksilver in place of Premium Rush. It has Larry Fishburne, too.

I must humbly request that all props be sent to charity... I don't want to be known for this.

The emergency rooms are gonna' love this after all of the copycats in PDX start flooding in from trying to be like the guy in the movie.

Can we just get the scene where he eats shit and loop it over and over in slow-mo on the Blogtown homepage?

Also, what would one name a movie about tall bikes? I suggest:

"2 Tall, 2 Furious"
"The Air Up There"
"Boat Cop"

Know what this movie needs? A slow-dance-on-a-bike scene with Lori Loughlin set to "Send Me An Angel." That would be Rad.

NYC needs some streetcar tracks to thin out the ranks of those bike messengers...

Sarah, often stereotypes exist for a reason.
14 yr old boys are gonna LOVE this movie.

Gordo-Levitt was awesome in "500 Days of Summer"
What happened to bring him to this ?

Biking by a fixie clod who's fallen on his ass like I did the other day is worth a thousand celluloid dramatic reenactments.

This is the dumbest thing I've heard in a while. It's not even bike porn....it's, like, fan-fic bike porn.

Also,

Jesus Christ, I saw a tall bike cross the Hawthorne Bridge this morning. Scary.

(Actually that fascinating message was for all of you, not just Jesus.)
