Your Ché For the Day
ONE DAY WE WILL LOOK BACK and reminisce when the mainstream media fought so hard against la cultura coming from anywhere south of el Rio Bravo. Come that time, the US mainstream media will be, by nature, splendidly rife with spicy and varied flavors and flourishes no matter from where you sip…
AH, YOU JUST CAN’T KEEP THOSE FILM FREAKS AWAY from the gold! Here is a Spanish-language trailer of Steven Soderbergh’s Ché, starring Benicio del Toro that looks and sounds like someone snuck a camera into the theater! And lo-fi as it is, I’m glad they did. Enjoy! And let’s hope that Soderbergh and crew can find a production company brave and smart enough to produce it here in the USA. I guess they are having trouble finding backers.

One day, you do know, up here in el Norte, we will look back and remember when the US mainstream media fought so hard in more than a few ways against the natural melding of la cultura coming from anywhere south of el Rio Bravo. Come that time, the mainstream media will be, by nature, splendidly rife with Mexican, Cuban, Puerto Rican, Guatemalan, Central and South American (“Hispanic/Latino”) flavors and flourishes no matter from where you sip. Because a fence won’t stop even a wind or a river, let alone a language. And right now, the Cheneystream is, I think, in the last throes of resistance. You can take that one to the bank. Or theater. SHhhhhh! The movie’s starting!
