Ladrón Que Roba A Ladrón

I just rented and watched "Ladrón Que Roba A Ladrón" today, and I have to say it's a good one. If you haven't heard of it, go get it. If you have and haven't seen it, go get it. The only way I can describe it is as a spanish Ocean's 11. The actors, directors, producers, and everybody else in the movie speak Spanish so now would be a good time to confront your fear of subtitles.

The jist of the film is that an infomercial titan is making millions by selling unsuspecting hispanic families miracle cures for just about anything, all of which don't work. A group of thieves, one of which has personal issues with the villain, devise a plan to rob said evildoer of every penny he's worth. Yes, pennies. This is set in Los Angeles. Since the villain is Argentinian, and the Argentinian banking system is as unreliable to hold money as a sieve is to hold water, he stores all of his cash in a vault at his home... you'll get over this detail when you watch it.

There's a lot of smart comedy involved, and it's really worth the few bucks it'd cost to rent it. If you like heist films, you'll like this one. :)

Either I've a sense of humor or I'm just crazy, :)

After all, my avatar is a dingo in a giant penis costume yelling at terrified onlookers, :D

Oh no no, I didn't draw a lick of it. Just cropped it out of a drawing I liked and shrank it to size.

I've no idea how to directly link artists on DA, but they go by the moniker, "Blotch"
~Abwettar:iconAbwettar: Jul 21, 2008, 8:36:44 AM
LOL, by the way, did you draw your avatar? It's very good :D

Sounds a bit like Wisconsin, here in the States. Hot, muggy, and always *about* to rain but never does.

/shakes fist at the skies!

I'd be more afraid of what would happen if he decided to visit the bars on Halloween.

You know, you wonder if it even IS Halloween in that drawing, XD
~TheWizardOfWack:iconTheWizardOfWack: Jul 13, 2008, 11:44:01 AM
If you could, I'm sure you would get a cencorship medal.

And I think everyone should be afraid of a peis that size. That would hurt I imagine.

And of course, that's not an avatar I would ever try to use on the 2Kinds Forum, :P

You can't crop that into PG-13 if you tried.
~fastchapter:iconfastchapter: Jul 13, 2008, 11:37:14 AM
I laughed the most at how little significance he thought the costume had.

"GET BACK HERE AND GIMME MY TWIX!!"
~TheWizardOfWack:iconTheWizardOfWack: Jul 13, 2008, 11:35:03 AM
You know, I had thought about that. I thought to myself "It's someone in a penis costume. No, it can't be that, he isn't that crazy." Clearly I was wrong.

The whipped cream was a nice touch though.
