BAD ASS

this is the thread about the movie you can see in theaters RIGHT NOW called Bad Ass. well, I guess only the cool theaters. also it debuted on demand on april 13th.

so while you were watching your space die hards and your woods cabins, I was watching a senior citizen get pissed off. also i had a bit of a meltdown and did some drunk confessions and whatever.

the movie stars danny trejo, and there are a lot of bits where it proves that the dude can actually act pretty well. and that he has impeccably fashion sense.

this is the trailer:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9nUsUV2yUdY

after seeing this movie thrice (yes, thrice) in the span of 48 hours, I really can't tell you enough how badly you need to see it. it is an experience.

a lot of people complained about the first trailer being disorienting and not making sense. well, that is because this movie is batshit insane. and is disorienting and doesn't make much sense.

but it's not crazy in the way you'd think. it basically, somehow, takes a very real, fully developed character as well as a very ridiculous caricature and combines them into one thing. every time the flick cuts, you have no idea what to expect.

sometimes it will be a really well developed scene that shows what it's like to be a vietnam vet with no hope.

sometimes it will be an unprovoked fight with the fakest cgi blood you will ever see.

sometimes it will be secondary characters straight from the blaxploitation school of overacting telling you how bad things are.

sometimes it will be a montage of danny trejo putting on old people clothes

and even sometimes it will be danny trejo doing mundane detective work to aggressive rap music.

it gets to the point where you have no idea what the intention of the movie is. you don't know what scenes are meant to be taken seriously and what scenes are purposely ridiculous. it sometimes feels like every sequence is from a different movie and they were all remade with danny trejo as the lead. it's a pretty crazy ride that I have never experience with another movie.

also there is a scene where danny trejo stops a liquor store robbery so he can get free tequila.

    Hmm, color me intrigued. I will watch this on on demand this weekend, if it's still on. Also I am loving that newer indie-ish movies still in theaters are popping up on on demand nowadays. Hate having to make a trip to dc to the independent theater showing slightly more obscure stuff. another movie to check out on ondemand is sleepless nights, under the tribeca film festival movies. french movie thats basically one badass chase scene, so damn good

    He doesn't act

    Acting is work

    What he does is all autobiographical, from the heart, no acting

    And I don't trust opinions of somebody who doesn't show Trejo the proper respect he deserves and has earned

    No really. Tell me why Danny Trejo should be given a role in anything, without using the word badass. Or a synonym for it.

    because he is a large hispanic man with a large quantity of tattoos and there are certain movies that require someone who fits these criteria to do nothing more than put on an outfit and repeat some words

    and danny trejo, for like ten minutes, really fucking acts.

    it is more surprising than how good jean claude van damme was in jcvd

    He's a shitty actor that internet types have latched onto because he's just so awesome man.

    TLB did you hear

    For the sequel to Machete, Machete Kills

    Mel Gibson tried out for, and is really close to getting, a role, I think (don't yell at me if it's not what he gets if he makes it!) as the main villain
