Machete!

Just found out The 7 Brothers Meet Dracula is playing for one night only this week at the Hollywood theater. And it's a 35mm print, not a projected DVD!

If work doesn't get in the way of that one, Machete will have to wait.

The real trailer for this is even better than the fake one. I won't be seeing it this weekend though but I'm looking forward to your review.

Me too or Sunday. Austin news did a segment how its messing up some feathers about the immigration issues jesus people its just a movie. I'll go find the video about it in a min.

But its not a "literal truth" movie, and I think he written this before all what was going on before the Arizona thing happened. I think what caused him a lot of heat was the trailer he made, so of course people think its pro-illegal immigrants rebelling. Plus he made that trailer when he was drunk. Alex Jones that crazy nut ugh he was like "Robert Rodriguez wants to start a race war" I love that dude even though he is a nut but seriously I was like "Alex stfu!"

Me either although I'm not an illegal I am latino-american, and I do think we should deal with the immigration problem, but in the right way. But if they pass that law, that basically gives every asshole cop to ask any Latino looking person "Are you an American?" even though they are and give them shit. I don't know that's just me I know I would be offended and tell him "Do I talk like an illegal to you? I don't even speak Spanish!" lol

But seeing how people are acting about this whole thing is really disgusting, my mother was a bilingual kindergarten teacher and worked with a lot of those kids and their parents and a lot of them are hard workers and eventually do get their citizenship. It just pisses me off, that people bitch about people coming from Mexico but nobody says anything about illegals coming from Europe, but I guess that's ok because they are white? It's just totally different standards. My stupid conservative friend who is all for this and she was telling me this when I was in ICU in the hospital of all things and I'm like "Bitch STFU! She was like "Vanessa this isn't just for Mexicans, this is for other illegals and I was like how many illegal Germans are you going to see being pulled over in Arizona? They are targeting a specific race and let me tell you it isn't white people." She didn't say anything to that. All she watches is Fox news and thought Sarah Palin is a genius, but anyways enough of my rant. We do need immigration reform, but this isn't the way to do it.

My rant isn't towards you guys, but the ignorant racist fucks out there.

Tristan - I was really looking forward to your Day Two review, great one!

I understand your point about addressing a really polarizing issue in a fun movie like MACHETE, but I keep thinking it was integral to what made the film so entertaining. I'm not sure if I can explain why, but I feel like if it wasn't so black & white and the characters weren't so clearly defined as good guys or bad guys it wouldn't be as fun. It reminded me a lot of the old Steven Seagal movies, which probably doesn't make a good case for the movie, but by being kinda overly stereotypical in content and character made it easier to have fun with those movies and not take them too seriously. At the same time, if I felt like the bad guys in a movie (not necessarily this one) were representative of me and my position I may feel differently.
