The other movie I saw this weekend was Machete, and I could probably write a long post about it too, but I don't think I will right now. If I did it would be about what the movie is doing with myths--the fact that fact Shé is written that way to parallel Ché, but always pronounced as the English she, even though Machete is always pronounced perfectly, even by the white folks, and the sexual politics of being and becoming a myth vs. a myth's girlfriend, and what the fuck Lindsay Lohan is doing in this movie, and what the fuck Quentin Tarantino and Robert Roderiguez are doing with their lives and their stories and why they feel like they need to go back to the seventies to do it.
But right now I am tired. Maybe later.
EDIT: Oh and something about the exploitation genre and how you can be essentially conservative and revolutionary at the same time; this is kind of an important one.
