Freaking quoted for Truth.Brockyman said:I haven't seen the movie yet, but I would like to see what the "racist" Senator is like.
Is he a cartoon-ish villain that hates people only for their skin color
OR
Is the character a "left wing described" racist that wants border security, an end to illegal immigration and the problems it has caused.
(and in case you didn't notice, or are an extreme left-winger THERE IS A DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE TOO)
The debate on illegal immigration has taken the such a dramatic turn that people who even consider sealing the border, and wanting people to immigrate legally and follow American law are call racists (keep in mind Mexican Immigration Law is 10x worse then the U.S.).
I have nothing against anyone of any skin color. All people are equal in the eyes of the law (and of God if your religious), but that means everyone must be TREATED EQUALLY UNDER THE LAW, therefore if your white, black, hipsanic, Indian, Arab, Asian, or come from Canada, Mexico, the UK, Iraq, China or Japan YOU NEED TO COME IN LEGALLY AND FOLLOW OUR LAWS, and SPEAK THE LANGUAGE.
EXAMPLE: If I ever intend on moving to another country to work, first thing I'm going to do is pick up Rosetta Stone and learn how to communicate and do business in that country. Just because your of Hispanic-origin, doesn't mean you should expect us to bend over backwards to communicate. IT'S YOUR RESPONSIBILITY. Now, if charities and churches want to offer English classes to help the poor people, that's great.
How in God's name is that view "racist"? If anything its the most "fair and equal" way to do things. Everyone is treated the same under the law.
Now, if the movie didn't have a message (like MovieBob was saying is a bad thing), then it could be pure fun, but if I have to be treated with lines like "we didn't cross the border, the border crossed us" (which is the biggest bunch of bull crap I've ever heard), then I can't enjoy it.
Dude that would be a huge wang. That's not even possible.House_Vet said:Intestines or - perish the absolute hideousness of the thought.... Think a little lower....
Yes, Danny Trejo was in prison. He was doing time in San Quentin and after he got out he got his big break in the movie business mostly starting off as a thug in films most recognizable in Desperado as an assassin with throwing knives.Not G. Ivingname said:Fun fact, the movie star (who also been in around 125 films up to this point) was a real Mexican gangster, who spent his jail time working out and turning himself around. When he got out, one of his probation buddies was a producer for a film and saw that Danny was the perfect "scary Mexican bad guy" that film needed.
And it really isn't that good. It was alright, but...I really think this woulda been better as a (god forbid) mindless action flick instead of throwing such a plot (albeit a good one.) The fleshed out story telling took away from it, at least that's how my friend and I felt. I guess we just prefer mindless action in an action movie...SpiderJerusalem said:It really isn't, unless you're one of those people who see art in vague splashes of paint on an otherwise blank canvas.wrecker77 said:I'm speechless. The movie with the Minigun motorcycles and weaponized low-riders is a deep political thriller?
What it is, though, is Bob's attempt at sounding smarter than he actually is in order to justify himself into liking this picture, but slamming Expendables - despite both of them being essentially the same, minus the boobs.
Nope. Wasn't aware of this movie's existence until today. I just thought of the nastiest rope like object I could think of.Canid117 said:You've seen the youtube clip haven't you?Furrama said:Intestines? Just a guess.
Why because people dont like being told how stupid they are?MB202 said:Again, I feel like MovieBob missed the point of why people really disliked his Expendables review, but moving on from that...
I never would of thought that a movie like Machete, which was basically made as joke, would turn out like the way you described it. I might check it out, if I find someone to watch it with, since I usually don't like to watch movies by myself.
