Disclaimer: I won't be seeing this 'til midnight, but I'll be honest, nothing anybody can say or do will change my mind about this movie. It was a classic to me when I first saw the trailer.

I'm concerned that the depiction of violent mexicans with guns and knives may further inflame anti-immigrant sentiment.

Yes, because prior to "Machete" we've never seen or heard of Mexicans as being violent before.

I'm excited about this. On a related note, anyone see the Trejo documentary "Champion"? Pretty gripping until it gets all Jesus-y at the end. It's on Netflix streaming if interested.
