I am starting to wonder if there is a god after all, hehehe. How sweet it is.

Filmed in Spanish? Insufficient money? Psycho director? "Che" sounds like a parody of the ill-fated movie "Medellin" in the HBO TV series "Entourage". (I don't think it can be the other way around because the "Entourage" story arc was three seasons ago.)

Absolutely hilarious! Oh the irony. One of the funniest things I've read in the culture pages in ages. Many of my colleagues in film and TV are stupidly enamoured of the Butcher of La Cabana and thought the film was superb. I was going to rent it on DVD anyway but the thought of getting a pirated copy instead is strangely appealing.

I wonder what they'd have done if it turned a profit?

"I wonder what they'd have done if it turned a profit?"

Sent the cheque to the Cuban government for redistribution to the comrades under the wise guidance of the Primer Secretario General de su Comité Central, of course. Tsk, tsk, Nigel; how could you doubt this?

Socialists (at least socialists who take socialism seriously - as Maxists do) of course do not respect private property.

Both the goods and the bodies (including the "private parts") of others must be available to "the people" under socialism.

To say a Marxist supports robbery, rape and murder is like saying water is wet.

However, sadly, one does need to remind people of this basic truth - as many people seem unaware of it.

I sometimes wonder if those rich (and often physically attractive) Hollywoodheads really understand what would happen to them if the Latin American (and other) Marxist revolutionaries they support, ever gained total control of the United States.

As for the film "Che" - it got National Lottery funding in Britain I believe.

"You are streatching things Paul" - not at all.

Abduction has become bery common in nations such as Mexico and the "kidnappers" are well versed in Liberation Theology excuses for their actions (Rev. Wright in a American context).

The abductors have the right to use violence, mutilation and murder to gain the money of "the rich" (not just people with lots of money - but poor people they regard as "class traitors"), and they also have the right to use the bodies of "the rich" for sexual gratification. They are quite clear on this - both in theory and in practice, in Mexico and many other Latin American nations.

Comming to America soon - Hollywoodheads please note.

Bit of a late addition this but it turns out that I now know somebody who worked on this. A friend of a friend also did some time on it.

Neither of them found it a pleasant experience. The producers didn't turn out to be particularly good employers - they wanted a lot of work but weren't willing to offer much in the way of reward.

I am now even happier that the film tanked.
