Do you always get so fixated when some makes a typo? Oh and did I say anything about queasy? I didn't think so. I think I made it very clear about the racial undertones in the movie, and had no problem with the action scenes. Of course these movies are just satires basically of the black sploitation movies of the 70's except that Hispanics are used instead of blacks.

Sure the genre is "Blaxploitation" with no spaces.:thefinger Originally Posted by MuayThaiBri67

My esteemed colleagues, we appear to be digressing at an alarming rate. I re-assert my original thesis that this film known as "Machete" is a brilliant piece of satire lampooning racially insensitive action films of bygone decades. Even in these difficult times, a viewing at the local cinema is well worth the price of admission, and should absolutely be seen by anyone who enjoys such satire.

Edit: My one criticism is that it failed to cure my writer's block, which is why I left my desk and went to the movies. So you can hold that against it. -

Exactly. The "RACISM" was so over the top it was hilarious. I loved it for the parody aspect.
