Re: Machete Trailer...
I am from the Bay Area (originally), and I can confirm it is a melting pot of diverse people all living together in relative peace. Oakland (East Bay) was one of the few predominantly Black communities that did not riot during the Rodney King verdict in '91.
Of course, a big reason for this tolerance and diversity is the Bay Area is not just progressive, but also home to some of the top universities & scientific think tanks in the world e.g. Standford, U.C. Berkeley, Lawrence Livermore Labs, etc.
Knowledge + Tolerance + Diversity = Better World for All.
Also,
I find Beer-Guts irrational fear of this movie laughable. Utterly laughable.
How can anyone find a movie that has...
-Michelle Rodriguez in a leather braw & eye patch shooting people
-Danny Trejo on a motorcycle with a front mounted mini-gun
-Cheech Marin as an akimbo shotgun-wielding Priest
-Lindsay Lohan in a skimpy Nurses uniform blasting people
-Jessica Alba in the shower (although fully clothed, dammitt!)
-Luche Libre Mask wearing assassins
-Steven Segal
...In any way shape, or form frightening?!
Not to mention the part in the trailer where Machete cuts some guys stomach open, uses his intestine as a rope, crashes through a window, repels down the side of a building and then crashes through a second window ala Die Hard?!
Who in their rational mind would find any of this anything but hilarious, regardless of the race of the characters. I just don't get it, folks.
