Starting Up the "Machete" Oscar Buzz
The other night, I watched Robert Rodriguez' movie "Planet Terror." The best part of the film happened to be a fake trailer for the phony movie "Machete" that runs at the very beginning of the main feature.
The hypothetical plot goes something like this, as far as I can tell: An illegal immigrant is hired to kill an anti-illegal immigration senator, only to find out he was framed - so that the senator can make immigrants look bad by pointing to the fact that one tried to kill him. "Machete" then goes on a rampage of revenge, which leads to a lot of bloodshed and some classic tag lines.
Should this movie ever actually be made, the chances of me going to see it are exactly 100%.
Here's the trailer - and be warned, it is most certainly not safe for work. But it is hilarious.
