Default Went to see Machete

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".

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.

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