So Latino unemployment is down everywhere but in liberal Hollywood? Hmmm

Maybe Paramount can do a Chico and the Man movie.

Spain makes some darn good movies.

Look for “Alatriste”

Weirdly, its got Viggo Mortensen, speaking Spanish well enough.

They’re remaking everything else (no new ideas I guess).

So I’m looking forward to more Cheech and Chong movies. That should fix the problem and improve the quality of stuff coming out of holywood. And expose today’s kids to the Latinos and Latinas that my generation was exposed to (most of my family was from Mexico so they weren’t my first exposure, but Cheech and Chong were GREAT and my friends got exposed).

You all are correct. Spain makes some good movies. They certainly deserve their props for the Italian-Spanish productions of spaghetti westerns. They revitalized the whole western movie genere.

My rant was actually more directed at the ubiquitous and tawdry Mexican soap operas, game shows, sabado gigante, etc. etc. LOL.

what some people don’t seem to understand is that it isn’t some other studio’s responsibility to give voice to your ideas and movies just because you think they should do it.

Freedom means being allowed to go make your own movie about whatever you want. If it is good... people will want to see it no matter who is in it.

Instead of boycotting, why don’t they all throw in $10 and go make their own movie?
