I must admit Rodriguez is a strange one. He makes some awesome adult oriented films but his kids movies look like they're all terrible schlock! Why does he do that?
Charlie Sheen? count me in if hes gonna act like his usual self.
That's exactly what I thought too! I've never seen Crank although it's on my list of movies to see.
Speaking seriously, I do hope this sequel is an improvement over the first one. The first one was entertaining but not b-movie material; most of the movie was jokes about inmigrants with some ocassional, tame and short action scenes; Only at the final showdown the movie goes insane.Crank High Voltage was a true exploitation movie, Machete was tame in comparison
You know for some reason I just can't ever get into Quentin Tarantino's films I love QT's dialogue, and I love his passion for film but I just can't get into his films because they always seem to be trying too hard to come off as artistic.His partner in crime Robert Rodriquez isn't exempt from that of course. Since he did make the artfag's dream (Pretty visuals to mask what little substance the film may have.) SIN CITY. A film that many of whom (Retards mostly AKA mainstream fuckfaces who don't know dick about shit even if you shoved it down their mouth.) consider as Robert Rodriquez's masterpiece. Fucking dumb assholes I say. What about From Dusk Till Dawn? What about Desperado? Oh yeah that's right artfag's + film snobs can't stand trashy exploitation & 80's zombie/vampire film throwbacks because it supposedly doesn't give their minds thy exercise that their brains so desire.Quite comical actually considering that SIN CITY was pretty damn juvenile once you look past the unique visuals. Even Bruce Willis' original Diehardhad much deeper commentary than RR's supposed magnum opus.So what exactly am I getting at? I'm a fan of RR not because his films are brilliant masterpieces of art or what ever gay ass film snobbery you wish to dish out in attempt to come off as some highly intellectual mind of much higher stature than even Mount Olympus.Hell nah, I love RR film's because every single one of them has hot bitches, & dark comedy. Every single one. RR has one crazy ass fucked up mind and I love his films for it. Well I don't know about Spy Kids but I wouldn't be surprised if those films had hot chicks too. I mean come on, Machete is in Spy Kids.Robert Rodriguez's films are filled to the brim with so much creativity, dark comedy & style that no matter how bad a RR film may be.You can best damn be guaranteed that I'll probably love it as much as all you asstards love stroking Christopher Nolan's dick coz his films make plebeians feel much brighter than you actually are, HAHA HAHAAH AHAHAH.Which leads I to the film of the day. RR's The Faculty.A stupid ass teen slasher film written by the same fuckface who wrote Scream & Scream 2 and probably the other Screams as well. I don't know. I don't give a fuck.What I am sure of is that The Faculty wouldn't be anywhere near as campy fun without RR at the helm to direct this little guilty pleasure. The film is about parasitic aliens taking over the bodies of a school in Ohio and blah blah blah, if you already seen one of the many remakes of the "Bodysnatchers" or John Carpenter's fucktablous "The Thing" then you already know the basic set up for The Faculty. Just replace all the ugly old dudes with hot jail bait bitches as the protaganists. (Who are in their 30's as of today so Hey, They legal, they legal.)

I was expecting typical simplified leftist bullshit like Avatar.No instead what we got is a pretty well informed view of what the relations between United States and Mexico actually is like.Basically the Mexican drug cartels are in cahoots with the American government. (Expendables also did the same exact thing. Difference is Stallone views the CIA as the bigger threat and the Mexicans as completely incompetent. Rodriquez portrays the cartels & certain officials within the American government as equally corrupt.)What Fahey's character wanted is to build a berlin like wall between the borders of Mexico & the USA. Not because he wants to keep illegals out.He simply wanted to control the supply & demand of drugs in order to maximize profits. Which is true. That's exactly how shit runs in real life. I don't see how the fuck this movie could be considered Marxist trash. That's as capitalist as it fucking gets.Then again Expendables which is a throwback to Reagan era action films is also considered leftwing trash by some individuals simply because the main bad guys are the CIA.I'm shocked by Robert, I had no idea that he was this self aware about the politics of the USA. It fucking cracks me up how everybody is calling this movie anti American when in reality RR is portraying everybody as a piece of trash.

If you say or do anything that doesn't portray the USA in a positive light you're automatically labeled as Liberal commie nigger jew Socialist Marxist revisionist.What's sad is that Machete has one of the more realistic depictions of America that I've seen caught on film.This is one of the only movies out there that shows you what America actually looks like. A multicultural hell hole.This movie is not Anti White. It's not even pro Mexican.RR is simply doing what any true artist does. He holds the mirror of society straight to your fucking face and is unapologetic about the ugliness of your reflection.
