I just saw the trailer for Machete. Holy shit. I am tempted! It looks completely beyond the pale.
If it's the trailer from Grindhouse, not everything there is in the movie.

For several years now, Point Blank and Deliverance director John Boorman has been working on a CG animated retelling of The Wizard of Oz. Here’s a video of a render test that has been carried out.
No word if Sean Connery will appear wearing a thong in this version.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I had intended to see Machete anyway thanks to the ridiculousness of its Grindhouse trailer, but even if I knew nothing about it the recent real trailer showing Cheech Marin as a priest wielding a shotgun in each hand would have sold me.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
I could swear I remember that from the first trailer.

Mmmm. Conan.
Looks a little, uh...Crow-nan.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Saw both The American and Machete last night. It's the perfect double feature. Both feature killers, lotsof naked women and have a '70s vibe. One is intense, personal and has very little action, the other is light, b-movie-ish and has non-stop action.
I liked both films--The American is a very slow, meditative film. If you can hang with Jarmusch, you might get into it. Clooney was superb, I thought.
Machete was great gory fun. I think Jeff Fahey and Cheech Marin stole the picture.

Is The American a Jarmusch film?
