Nah they just used some zylog Z80 to make avatar, and ofcourse intel lovers react as usual with insults and nonsense.
The fact that amd makes super products at super low prices does not seem to get in there idiot minds
 
Did anyone else read the title and was hoping someone forged a real machete out of those AMD parts? Yes, I was a little disappointed.

Must be the early morning; haven't had my coffee yet.
 
Nice, AMD is still quality equipment, and I happen to prefer it for myself. As for those out there calling this movie racist, como? Ya no veo algo escenas o dialogo que esta racisimo. pienso que estan sensitvio, cabrones!!
 
Loved the fake trailer, but the trailer for the real movie has them saying "Ma shay tay", which instantly turned off. Oooo, Mr Rodriguez, you're so ladtanno. That and Michelle Rodriguez has a major role in it, and she's a mannish beast and a shitty actress.
 
Man that looks like quite possibly the worst movie I have ever seen. I cant believe that it has that much talent. Really a Gatling Gun on a motorcycle. They weight what 1 or 2 hundred pounds. How the f are you going to not dump the motorcycle on every corner. And I think I saw Steven Segal up there.
 
It's funny so many people are calling this movie racist, considering that after the whole Arizona thing happened, they released a trailer for this movie clearly pointed towards the bill.

This movie is sort of supposed the be a joke pointed at the United States immigration policies, the way I understand it. Joke, people. Yuk-yuk.

It's a movie for entertainment in the end, not a documentary for politics.
 
Machete doesn't look very good at all but I also don't believe it is meant to incite any racial animosity either. Just a dumb movie with Mexican actors. (Legal Mexican Americans making a living). Good for them. BTW. Michelle Rodriguez is more of a man than GI joe and she scares me. Not that I dislike strong women. Lena Headey is wayy hott but still very realistically feminine.
 
Why don't you guys use the embedded YouTube with full screen in the toolbar? It really annoys me how I have to open a new page every time I want to view a video at a larger resolution than 360P.
 
I hate the people that go "Hurr this movie is racist!"

If people would stop worrying about whats racist and whats politically correct, 'racism' will probably go the way of 3DFX.
 
I bet if the new Xeon and the Fermi Quadro parts had been available when they were buying hardware, this article would have had a different title.

ya, it would be. Post production movie studio, that was working on the new movie Machete, burns to ground do to overheating processors.

i kid, i kid.
 
[citation][nom]velozzity[/nom]So has anyone actually seen what this movie is about...i mean yes the man was set up, but it basically boils down to a minority (and illegal alien omfg i said it im not politically correct sue me) running around shooting whites...if it were reversed would'nt that be called racist instead of artwork.[/citation]


All the villains are white...
Illegal aliens are heroes...
Rodriguez specifically targeted AZ in his Cinco de Mayo trailer...

Not only racist, intended to cause racial division...
but hey, if Rodriguez can make some bucks, I guess that is all he cares about...



 
[citation][nom]blasterth[/nom]Is this the only movie ever made that uses AMD CPUs and GPUs?Well congratulations![/citation]
I was thinking the same thing, otherwise why would this be such big news?

OH shut the hell up, no one would call this fluff artwork. It is what it is, but it is definitely not art. It's crap, okay, but it's meant to be crap. But you just described the movie without having seen it or being clear on the plot (as crappy as it may be). Your comments are just a bit reductive, which really pleases all the reactionary commenters who just want their backward ideas of the white man now being the only oppressed people in America.
 
[citation][nom]Poisoner[/nom]Im switching to nVidia now. This movie is so racist its not funny. I'm half hispanic and I find it as an attempt to start a race war. I am so happy I went to Intel already.[/citation]
You say the movie is racist, but made with AMD/ATI so you're changing the graphics on your computer!?!?! LMFAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Not just you. I thought "Machete" was some codename for a crazy new hardware.
