After taking a look at the new red-band trailer for Robert Rodriguez's Machete I am left with only one question: Are there any kills left that we haven't already seen. Zowie. There's blood enough for a handful of films packed into this brief nugget. Check it below.

Bummer . . . I was keeping my fingers crossed that the blood wouldn't be totally CG but I guess most of it will be. Why make a "grindhouse" throwback with gore effects that look like Mortal Kombat sprites blasting out of people's heads? If the idea is to be old school do old school effects!

The short answer is time and money. If you use real blood and screw up a take you can lose half a day cleaning everything up and resetting to try again. That time adds up fast and inflates the budget. CG requires no cleaning, so is much more efficient on set. That's the biggest single reason people use it.

Does it look that bad to you? I thought it looked all right for a while there, accept it seems like at some point they just get lazy and it looks terrible (part with the guy laying on the ground), the cuts are so fast here I'm just not sure. It's always better to do stuff without CG, hopefully that one decision doesn't ruin the movie. But I guess if they are going to fake the old film look, they should be free to fake everything else.

Damn it. I wish I hadn't watched that. Showed too much of awesome kills.

That's a badass priest. He must do a lot of shotgun weddings.

Violence and gore is fun and all, but I'd have preferred some more nudity.

I love the how the R rating pops up, just as two guys get their heads blown off. You know, in case we hadn't noticed. xD
