I saw the motorcycle diaries last night

[HEyHEY]

I've always wanted to go to Argentina and that movie makes me wanna go even more.

Anyway, cool cool movie. Only Che makes himself look like fucking superman in it. Kinda like Eminem did in 8-mile.

Anyone else seen it.

1. I have it on DVD, it is so good

Did you know that the movie is based on the diaries and letters of Che and Alberto? All of the events in the movie are factual.

I love Che and I love that movie, if you have not seen it, it is worth your time.

It is also surprisingly a pretty good buddy movie, as all the scenes involving the motorcycle are quite funny.

And for the ladies Geal Bernal Garcia is just mouth wateringly hot.

2. I said the movie would do for Argentinian tourism what the LOTR movies

did for New Zealand tourism. ;)

3. The commercialization of a Marxist

Now THAT's funny

[HEyHEY]

5. Oh I know

Maddox had the best bitch about Geuverra being on T-shirts.

"Does anybody even know what this guy DID anymore?"

7. Maddox

I haven't checked him out for some time. Thx for the reminder.

[CanuckAmok]

10. he's been inactive...but his "Worst 11 Songs of 2004" is great!

enjoy.

PS--they're all on the new U2 album.

[HEyHEY]

13. "Rock on frauds"

Loved your theft of that quote for zig

[CanuckAmok]

19. Hey, I gave him credit, and sent him a cheque for $3500.00

But he spells is "check", so he couldn't cash it.

8. As the owner of 2 Che t-shirts I understand that the commercialization

of Che is not something that he would approve of. However since I have read both Marx and some of Guevara's writings, I wear his shirt with pride. It makes me feel good, it makes the rebel in me feel good.

And the movie is top notch, so maybe Che isn't turning over too fast in his unmarked grave.

[HEyHEY]

9. Of course if you rebeled against Che you'd be shot

[Bridget Burke]

11. He's not in an unmarked grave anymore.

In 1995, a Bolivian general told biographer Jon Lee Anderson that they'd buried Che near an airstrip--close to where he was killed. In 1997, a team recovered & identified his remains. Later that year, he was reburied in Santa Clara, Cuba.

12. I'm only referring to

the likely Che Guevara Bus Tour that'll be slapped together, with stops at all of Che's favorite places and includes a packed lunch.

[HEyHEY]

14. And kohibas

15. chocolate ones for the kids, with a Viva El Revolucion coloring book

[livetohike]

4. Rented the DVD last Saturday

A great, true story and what a trip that must have been. It would be something to follow their route.

[HEyHEY]

6. You mean Highway 7-a?

;-)

[livetohike]

16. Was that it?

Awesome scenery. They did the whole trip rather quickly I thought.

[HEyHEY]

18. No, I'm just joking

Just sayi8ng it's probably a highway by now

[stinkeefresh]

17. I don't know- I saw it when it first came out

Seemed a little dry to me. Gael is hot stuff, and the other actor is even better, but I found it pretty unmemorable.

Of course, no one who picks up a machine gun is a hero in my book, regardless of his political persective, so I'm not exactly on board to begin with...
