Has Robert Rodriguez lost his mind? Even I’m beginning to wonder and you know that cinematic weirdness is my bread and butter.
So it was just a couple days ago when I filled you in on the startling addition of Lindsay Lohan to the cast of Machete. Well, I just got an updated cast list, and frankly, I’m just baffled. Take a look at this list and tell me if you see ANYTHING wrong here: Robert De Niro, Jessica Alba, Michelle Rodriguez, Steven Seagal, Lindsay Lohan, Cheech Marin, Don Johnson and Jeff Fahey.
For those of you wondering, no, I never believed I’d live to see the day when Robert De Niro shared the screen with Lindsay Lohan. Or Steven Seagal. And after the slow painful death of Nash Bridges I NEVER believed I’d see Cheech and Don together again.
Don’t even get me started on my puzzlement at the sudden reappearance of Jeff Fahey, either. Guy’s been doing TV and one-shots since 2007–and this is his first feature in nigh on three years.
I’ve got to admit, if Machete didn’t have my interest before (which it did, but only in a limited sort of way) it definitely does now. I am all locked into this sucker now and eagerly await its reappearance.

Jeff Fahey has been working a lot more than you would think.

r–I checked his IMDB profile. Like I said, TV and one-shots. The only thing of any significance is Lost, and that’s just TV.
