Numerous sites are reporting that the following poster is A.) new; B.) significant proof that Robert Rodriguez’s straight-to-DVD Machete movie is moving forward or completed; C.) proof that, in hindsight, Grindhouse was the scuzzy masterpiece promised to us; D.) wall-worthy.
Unlike the SAT, all of these bubble answers are wrong, even D.), which is wrong by default because you’d have to trek into the mall and into the store, the one where 12-year-olds “buy” Doc Martens and Sex Pistols piggy banks, to purchase the Machete poster to hang on your wall. Unless you waited outside of the mall for it to come to you, in which case, we’ll count D.) and you can proceed to university in Awesomeville. View the poster in digital form and then consider practicing your rusty noogie technique after the jump…
Update: 010101. This is the /Film Hunterbot. 0101. I cleanup after Hunter human’s inferior, convoluted human style. 01010 The Machete poster below serves the promotional purposes of a motion picture called Grindhouse and not a separate Machete motion picture as many Internet websites incorrectly posted yesterday. 0101. A human interested in purchasing the Machete poster to hang on a wall will need to enter a store called Hot Topic. 010101. The human called Hunter does not believe this to be a valid option fo humans aged 12 and over. 010101. Like Hunter human, Hunterbot did not like Grindhouse, either, but liked three of four of the motion picture’s trailers. 0101010101001. Hunterbot’s favorite book is Microserfs by Douglas Coupland. 0101101. Hunterbot will gladly take Hunter human’s position at /Film. 01010. ‘Kay? 010.

Does anyone understand what Stephenson is saying?
January 23rd, 2008 at 2:23 am
I have no idea where Stephenson is going with his analogy, or went for that matter. That aside, I would gladly pay $50 to have that poster hanging on my wall.

Omg this isn’t a goddamn film coming out! You can buy these posters, along with the Thanksgiving one at Hot Topic
January 23rd, 2008 at 2:37 am
…Wish there was an edit button.

Maybe Hunter is finally getting high, having a few beers and watching “I know who killed me” like he said he was going to a few posts ago…..and made that fatal flaw of posting while drunk and high.
:P
back on topic:
I cant wait to get my hands on that poster.
January 23rd, 2008 at 5:40 am
yeh i’m confused. peter, kick hunter off of copy writing duties.
January 23rd, 2008 at 6:02 am
I am also entirely confused… sorry, man. But, I really don’t understand from that write-up whether that poster is real and whether or not the movie is coming, or what.
January 23rd, 2008 at 6:21 am
Wasn’t that poster in the Grindhouse book that came out last year anyway?
January 23rd, 2008 at 7:29 am
What IS Stephenson saying?!
January 23rd, 2008 at 7:42 am
What did you just say? C) and D) are most definately true as well.
I would easily walk into the Hot Topic store (I assume that is what you mean) store in a local mall to pick this poster up, if it had some texture to it (i.e. not glossy, etc).
January 23rd, 2008 at 7:48 am
I understood what he was saying.
January 23rd, 2008 at 8:48 am
what??
Dont get high when you are about to post, Hunter!
January 23rd, 2008 at 9:37 am
He is saying that it is just a poster they made for fun. Not the movie, if it still is being made
January 23rd, 2008 at 12:13 pm
He’s also saying that you can get it at the Hot Topic store, which most of you are clearly too quick to talk instead of reading previous comments that I mentioned.

In case there’s still any confusion, that’s probably not the real Machete DVD key art, that poster’s been around for a while. I first saw it (or a very similar variation of it) in the “Making of Grindhouse” book I bought when Grindhouse was still in theatres, it was made for promoting Grindhouse as… “Hunterbot”… said.
