I haven't been to a movie in years.

[xfundy]

But, once the fundies start tearing them apart, the current releases sound like FUN!

1. And here I was all set to disagree with you, but then...

MACHETE Content: (what the ratings mean)
(HHH, CoCoCo, PCPCPC, AbAbAb, APAPAP, AcapAcapAcap, FeFeFe, LLL, VVV, SSS, NNN, AA, DDD, MMM) Evil, rotten, disgusting, humanist, nihilistic, Communist, politically correct, pro-revolution, pro-illegal immigration worldview with extreme Anti-Christian blasphemy and sacrilege (including a corrupt priest), racist elements, anti-white elements, anti-American, and anti-capitalist content, radical feminist elements, overt discussion of incest, and other anti-family content; 68 obscenities and 17 profanities; ultra-graphic, gory, very bloody, snuff extreme, constant violence such as gruesome decapitations, limbs severed, eye shot out, numerous gun battles, woman dresses as nun and mows down people with machine gun, man disemboweled and intestines used to rappel off building, priest nailed to a cross, torture, electrocution, etc.; extreme sex includes group sex, exhibitionism, and overt discussion of incest; extreme nudity includes full frontal female nudity; alcohol use and drunkenness; smoking cigarettes, marijuana use and selling drugs; and, very strong miscellaneous immorality includes lying, cheating, kickbacks, blackmail, betrayal, manipulation, corruption, greed, envy, reverse racism rationalized, and revenge.

unquote.

anti-capitalist content? I think you're right. As much as current movies generally suck, the chance to see something that is at once "humanist", and at the same time "nihilist", might be fun. Strike that: it must be fun, unless Movieguide is just leading me on with a lot of hooey.

[metapunditedgy]

3. LOL. And racist elements are different from anti-white elements? Crucifixion is

unacceptable?

"corrupt priest"? Only in the movies, folks!

"reverse racism rationalized" is one of the more confusing things I've read today.

"very strong miscellaneous immorality"?

"Man disembowled and intestines used to rappel off building" must have even made the fundie commentator smirk as he wrote it.

[davidinalameda]

6. do you have a link to that review

it is at Movieguide?

[kenny blankenship]

7. Yes, it was at the top of the page at the link in the OP

I enjoyed the first paragraph so much I decided I had better save the rest for later.

[nashville_brook]

9. saw Machete last night. it rocked. it's not for everyone.

[TexasObserver]

11. And I thought MACHETE was a film about puppies.

[Swamp Rat]

14. Blood thirsty, machete-wielding, maniac puppies,

and they're coming for YOU!



:yoiks:

[murray hill farm]

17. Those are some really cute puppies!

What breed are they?

[hfojvt]

25. they look so harmless and cute

just like, like, a cute fuzzy bunny http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XcxKIJTb3Hg

[Drale]

2. even though its expensive

movies are one of the few things that I make time to go see between studing for school stuff and other stuff I got going.

[Skittles]

4. I too enjoy going to movies

lately what's bugging me though is the increasing bad manners among moviegoers, of all ages - I especially detest those who even check their damn cell phones - that bright light can be seen throughout the entire theater :mad:

[Demeter]

5. You Haven't Missed Anything

I can count on the fingers of one hand the really good ones in the past decade--and most will never even make it to video, thank god.

[KansasVoter]

21. You obviously do not get out enough.

[MrModerate]

8. OK, I spat all over my keyboard . . .

Learning that their code for "homosexual viewpoints" is . . . wait for it . . . "HoHoHo."

10. That review sure makes it sound fun!

"Evil, rotten, disgusting, humanist, nihilistic, Communist, politically correct, pro-revolution, pro-illegal immigration worldview with extreme Anti-Christian blasphemy and sacrilege (including a corrupt priest), racist elements, anti-white elements, anti-American, and anti-capitalist content, radical feminist elements, overt discussion of incest, and other anti-family content; 68 obscenities and 17 profanities; ultra-graphic, gory, very bloody, snuff extreme, constant violence such as gruesome decapitations, limbs severed, eye shot out, numerous gun battles, woman dresses as nun and mows down people with machine gun, man disemboweled and intestines used to rappel off building, priest nailed to a cross, torture, electrocution, etc.; extreme sex includes group sex, exhibitionism, and overt discussion of incest; extreme nudity includes full frontal female nudity; alcohol use and drunkenness; smoking cigarettes, marijuana use and selling drugs; and, very strong miscellaneous immorality includes lying, cheating, kickbacks, blackmail, betrayal, manipulation, corruption, greed, envy, reverse racism rationalized, and revenge."

Can I sing "These are a few of my favorite things" now?

[cynatnite]

12. Check out reviews for other movies...

They're worth a laugh.

[NBachers]

[Swamp Rat]

16. ¡Órale carnal!

:headbang:

¡Ya me voy!!

[WillParkinson]

15. Psh. Get some real entertainment!

Per that website (which I feel so dirty even having looked at)...

Hopefully, MACHETE will fail at the box office. If moviegoers want a real Hispanic superhero, they should screen some Zorro movies. Or, get Disney’s wonderful TV series on Zorro featuring the dashing Guy Williams.

Guy Williams was Hispanic? I did not realize.

[DainBramaged]

19. Why should it fail? Demerit for YOU.

ANYTHING that pisses of the Pukes is +1,000,000 in my book no matter HOW bad it is.

[WillParkinson]

22. Fail?

That's from the article the OP posted, not my opinion.

[DainBramaged]

28. My apologies for seeing with only one eye!!!

:hi:

[DainBramaged]

18. HAHAHAH assholes liviing in glass houses

MACHETE is full of gruesome, despicable, extremely bloody violence, graphic nudity, extreme sex, racism, and Anti-American content. Also, the Communist revolutionaries are the heroes. Except for Danny Trejo, who plays Machete, the movie is poorly acted and directed. The director says he wanted to make a Hispanic superhero, but the backlash against this movie should be intense, and a superhero should not be the first one to kill and decapitate. MACHETE is a hateful, racist, offensive diatribe.


But war against Brown people is OK!

[Iggo]

20. These boys is NOT white! These boys is NOT white!

:rofl:

[Javaman]

23. When I was a kid, we get the "long island catholic"

We never went to church. (I still don't know how they knew who we were LOL)

Anyway, they would have a movie review column. And any film with the review of "condemned" we would go and see. :rofl:

They have become politically correct as of late, condemned has changed to "morally objectionable". Doesn't quite roll off the tongue as easy as condemned. ;)

[Javaman]

24. Yet they still gave it 2 stars out of 4 LOL. nt

[ismnotwasm]

26. I can hardy wait to see that movie

I've been excited about it ever since I heard they might actually make it after 'Grindhouse'

I couldn't be more pleased that the fundie pukes are offended.

[jberryhill]

27. I love the capsule description of Avatar:

http://www.movieguide.org/box-office/6/10075-avatar

AVATAR is a visually stunning, but slow, shallow and abhorrent, science fiction adventure pitting evil human capitalists against heroic, spiritually sensitive aliens on the planet Pandora, who worship a false diety and nature. Too graphically intense for children, AVATAR has an abhorrent New Age, pagan, anti-capitalist worldview that promotes goddess worship and the destruction of the human race.
