A Classic Film


I love Classic Movies, I really do. I love them. This is maybe the 3rd time I've seen "El Mariachi". Maybe?? I know I rented VHS tape at Hollywood Video years ago (God! I miss that place! And Blockbuster and Cpt. Video.) I had a chance to buy "El Mariachi" on VHS tape for $2 many years ago. Even today I regret that. I am so cheap. Pitiful. This movie has the border, Mexicans, all the stuff I grew up with. It knocks me out!! Everything about it, the free coconut, steer's head's up on the wall... Can I say something?!? Will you not get angry?!? Everything Robert Rodriquez made (EVERYTHING) after "El Mariachi" is overblown crap!! Ha Ha There I've said it. This movie is basic, down-on-the-ground, that's why I love it so much! I'd rather see a dirty old hoopty pickup on film than the sleekest limo. It's just me, sooty. Gotta buy this one. Got to own it. Possess it. Run it with "Fistful of Dollars" from time to time. Man with no name. Clint Eastwood. Robert (Rodriquez) you done good. John
