The amount of discussion regarding Steven Soderbergh’s two-part film about the iconic and poorly bearded revolutionary Che Guevara has ranged from “tragic failure” to “visionary masterpiece” to “they made a movie about my t-shirt?” to “where does this fit into The Motorcycle Diaries continuity?” but one thing is for sure: the film is a big deal.
Devin saw it recently and is still apparently digesting it before unloading his surely literary review that’ll make you wonder when CHUD.com became deep and intelligent.
In the meantime, enjoy the trailer. I found it to be quite effective both in conveying a powerful vision and making me wish I’d brought more Cuban cigars from the Bahamas. I’m a Soderbergh apologist, save a few efforts and personally love seeing him go his own way, so color me enthused and optimistic about watching a lot of Spanish unfold before my very eyes when this sucker finally makes its footprint in theaters.
Thanks to Brian Henne for the head’s up!

Both the Fuck This Face articles negate any of Devin's quasi-literary preaching.
If you dont love communism then your stupid. Too bad communism and socialism continue to fail and will always do so, and then the liberals will scream that the productive people did not work hard enough to keep it all going.
I can't wait for the scene where Che marches his political opponents out in front of a firing squad. What an icon!
Yeah socialism failed. I mean, no countries anywhere have health care or other social assistance programs. Which is good cause helping people who need help is obviously evil. I mean just look at Sweden, third world shit hole I've been told.
Capitalism, Communism, same thing in different name. In practice of course. So far in the history of human kind. I think people like to give names to things so they dont have to accept the reason why they fucked it all up was their own fault. its not my fault i fucked up on crack and heroin again, its my ADDICTION. its not my fault i killed millions of people in what should patently not be reffered to by non-jews as 'holocaust' but we'l say genocide just for the screw of it, its facisms fault, or Geneva, or whatever. see? works every time.
Well USA will be a socialist country in a few days 😉 *snicker*
Tis ALREADY socialist, poor Bush had to nationalize banks, socialist style. So iguess its CapitalSocialist now. Kinda like NationalSocialist. Nazi.
Wow, and that was shot with the RED digital camera's, too. Looks great!
looks hilarious!
At the risk of sounding like a damn commie…. what is so bad about socialised essential services? Take health, for example. The way many conservatives talk, advocating a socialised health system is akin to being a full-blown communist. Can anyone seriously look at America's current health system and defend it? That said, America's national debt is so tragic that you'll never be able to afford socialised anything anyway. A victory for capitalism!!!
People who don't believe in socilaized medicine should be lined up against a wall and shot.
Bopggy, you're an imbecile. Shut your damn mouth and try to expand your mind a bit. Your moral and intellectual equivalency hurts to listen to.
Yaaaaawwwwwnnn…
bopggy = fabfunk
"what is so bad about socialized essential services? Take health, for example."
Try asking anyone who has dealt with America's current version of socialized health (the VA) and see what their answer is.
Is the current system broke? Hell, yes! Is government run healthcare the answer? Hell, no!
Honestly, the answer is simple but will never happen. Get rid of all general health insurance except for critical care insurance. For general care, you pay cash. Watch the price of health care fall to where it belongs. Think it won't work? If you are over 35, remember when you were a child and went to the doctor? Was there company sponsored insurance? Nope. Was the doctor affordable? Yep. Let the free market decide the price of health care, not an insurance adjuster.
Most of the people who are against "socialised" health care would bennefit from it. Theres nothing wrong with government run essential services. In Australia before the recent run of privatisations essential services worked better. We privatised the airlines and now we go from being worlds safest to Daily safety scares and the telecommunications company "telstra" has been run into the ground since privatisation. IDK where in gods holy fuck people get the idea that "the market" provides a better service. Probably from people who want to buy public infrastructure (that we paid for)
