So a few months back, Craig and I found this forum on IMDB. We were both fans of Grindhouse and we were looking into the trailers to see what was going on with them. (We do this thing sometimes where we look up the same stuff from our computers since we sit right next to each other.) Anyway, we found a thread for the movie "Machete".

The Machete trailer in Grindhouse was the one with Danny Trejo in it as a day laborer and then something happens and he kills people with a machete and says "They just f****d with the wrong Mexican." Anyway this thread starts with this post:

"Hi, I just met Danny Trejo at Monstermania in NJ over the weekend and got a Machete poster signed and asked him if the movie was getting made. He said "ITS GETTING MADE!! WE HAD SO MANY EMAILS 'MAKE MACHETE MAKE MACHETE' SO WE ARE MAKING MACHETE!!!"

This should put an end to the rumors that its not happening."


From there, it turns into the BEST THING THE WRITTEN WORD HAS EVERY DONE FOR HUMANITY. I laughed until I cried at all the other entries. They just keep getting more and more far fetched about people's chance run ins with Danny Trejo and him yelling that MACHETE'S BEING MADE!!!!111! and signing things.

Here is one of the replies to it:

It's so awesome that you guys have all met Danny. You're not going to believe it, but I met him last week as I was jumping off of the Sears Tower. I was trying to snuff it, but suddenly he zoomed by in his flying car and caught me. He said "DON'T DO THAT! THERE'S SO MUCH TO LIVE FOR!" I said I didn't believe him and he said "I'LL PROVE IT, MAN!" Then he pushed a button and his flying car took us BACK IN TIME to 1955! We hung out with Michael J. Fox and Danny stole a Sports Almanac and gave it to me. He winked at me and said "THAT BOOK WILL MAKE YOU A RICH MAN!" I think he had that idea kinda backwards though, because it isn't helping me make any money. Maybe I can sell it on Ebay though.

Oh yeah... he also said "WE ARE TOTALLY MAKING MACHETE, MAN!"

Every now and again, the original poster will come back to the thread and read what people have put and gets mad. Here is one of his responses:

Why are you being a jerk, I just said what the man told me. It was a horror convention and he was there. I am sure there plenty of people that asked him that. I just thought people who wanted the movie made would be happy to hear it.

Seriously, you HAVE to check it out. It goes on for 5 pages with each meeting getting more and more outrageous. You need to register for with IMDB but it's free and they don't email you. It is worth it. Here is the link to the thread:
