Trailer For Movie Based On Trailer Proves That Some Trailers Should Remain Trailers


In honor of Cinco de Mayo-actually, scratch that. Here's the trailer to Robert Rodriguez's Machete, an outgrowth of the fake trailer from his half of Grindhouse. I have NO IDEA what is going on here, but clearly Robert De Niro wandered by the set one day and they were all, "You want to be in it?" and he was like, "Sure!" It's… something. [Via]

You can tell that half the trailer is from the "Grindhouse" trailer, and it's not even the best parts of it. Still, this is the one movie I'll actually fork over ten bucks for this year.

We've already moved on to bigger and better more grindhousier things:

I don't know if Rutger Hauer is going to bring the same amount of intensity to 'Hobo With A Shotgun' as David Brunt.

Abe Sauer (#148)

Right? It's like, whoa whoa whoa, guys, it's kinda' perfect already.

I saw them filming Hobo With A Shotgun the other day on Grotingen Street – Halifax's skid row – a few blocks from my house. Rutger Hauer could indeed have passed for one of the locals, a lot of whom were watching from the Salvation Army across the street.

Oh man, sounds like room for a NEW grindhouse genre. "Hobo with a Screenplay"

Dudes, Lohan & Alba!?!?

If they really wanted Jessica Alba in this movie, couldn't they have just cast her as the credits? She'd be way more believable.

Hundred a day to teachu howto make a fuckin taco.

also: DeNiro, do not ever, ever. ever. attempt a "Southern" accent ever. again.

MacGruber in the Sidebar! Servicey.

This will be the greatest movie ever made.

the fact that you could possibly dislike anything about a robert rodriguez vehicle and fail to connect this particular trailer release to immigration insanity makes me worried

As a survivor of Adventures of Sharkboy and Lavagirl, I find this rank hyperbole.

ah fuck i forgot the whole kid-movie side career

Wait, what? I mean, aside from the giant head of Sylvester Stallone, which I will never be able to unsee, what in the Rodriguez-for-kids oeuvre is there NOT to like?

Oh, ha ha, they had me at "Introducing Don Johnson."

Bittersweet (#765)

They lost me at "Lindsey Lohan."

Flashman (#418)

I'm just so happy Lindsay's finally getting back into legitimate cinema.

All other aesthetic concerns aside, I would so thoroughly do Michelle Rodriguez.

Sproing (#561)

More likely, she you.

As long as they show Steven Segal getting gutted like a rainbow trout, I will be there on day one.

"This is machete, with a special Cinco de Mayo message … to Arizona."

And then John McCain soiled himself.

OK, yes: true, but those events were not related.
