Went to see Machete

[Papa_Complex]

I liked it but it was about a half an hour too long, for a good Grindhouse flic, and I could have done without Rodriguez's pontificating about the illegal immigrant situation. "We didn't cross the border; the border crossed US!"

About 10 seconds of a mostly naked Ms. Alba was a nice touch though.

Can't wait to see it. Met Danny Trejo in a casino in Vegas. Probably the nicest celebrity I've ever met. Oh, and he's about 5'5". :lol:

[Papa_Complex]

You can tell, next to Alba :lol:

That was a parody of Malcolm X's remark about how the blacks didn't land on Plymouth Rock.

I wonder if it was Lindsay Lohan flopping titties in the swimming pool or it was a body double?

Yeah, I got the reference. It just wasn't very well, or poorly enough, delivered. I've also never really been a fan of X either.

I'm guessing that they were hers, since the CGI in that movie was blatantly obvious, on purpose. Honestly, they didn't seem to be flopping all that much.

It was worth my $9...

Is it on Torrents yet?

[defector]

Did not like.

[Amber Lamps]

Did not like.

Yea if it's anything like the other Grindhouse flicks... Well, you can count me out too. The biker one was horrid in my opinion.

[Papa_Complex]

Did not like.

Liked, but would have liked better if it was a 1/2 hour shorter.

That one was REAL bad.

At times, I thought I was watching a cheaply made Desperado. There were definite flashbacks to other Grindhouse flicks for me.

[Papa_Complex]

Guys, the point is that the original "grindhouse" movies, back in the late '60s and early '70s were incredibly bad, poorly edited, had no real plotline and no social relevance, made for $20K, and full of gratuitous nudity and violence. A "remake" of a grindhouse movie should be the same.

The only problem with this one, was that Rodriguez tried to insert social commentary into it.

[dReWpY]

you think she tried to add it or the ppl that wrote the script wrote it and she was just the actor
lolz

The line about the border? I'd say that Rodriguez wrote it, and Alba just delivered it. They really needed to push that one over the top, to make it work in the "crappy cinema" genre though. They should have pulled in tight on her face, at a weird angle, and had her snarl it our with a scowl on her face. I don't know if that would have worked with her baby face, but it would have been (worse) better :lol:

[defector]

I don't have a problem with the social commentary. I already saw Machete before I ever saw Machete - I just didn't know it.

You take Desperado and Planet Terror and combine them and you have Machete. There are the same exact scenes from both movies.

[Papa_Complex]

Except for Rose McGowan with a grenade launching leg :lol:

[defector]

I think that if I hadn't seen the other flicks first I would have like this one better. Maybe.

[Dave]

I still fap to this

[OneSickPsycho]

She gots some nice boobage though. I loved her in Scream with the tight green shirt with her perpetual high beams on. :boobs:

[Papa_Complex]

To each his own. She's pretty damned hot to me.

[Dave]

Looks pretty hot to me :P

[fnfalman]

Rose McGowan is a hot bitch.

Before she was well known, she flopped some serious titties in a movie called The Doom Generation. And I mean flopped some serious titties.
