ANDY GARCIA TELLS HIS CUBA STORY, AT LAST -- Cuban Star Tells It Like It Is About Fidel and Che!

http://www.iconoclast.ca/NewPage17.asp ^

[Apolitical]

About Guevara, Garcia says, "Che has been romanticized over the years, but there is a darker side to his story. People wear his T-shirt like pop art. They don't know who he is. He looks like a rock star, but he executed a lot of people without trial or defense" ....

[Patrick1]

Andy Garcia won't be appearing in any Clooney movies anytime soon.

[John Jorsett]

The Left: "LALALALALALA! WE CAN'T HEEEEAAAR YOUUUUU .... !"

[domenad]

I love Andy Garcia as long as they STOP TRYING TO CAST HIM AS AN ITALIAN! Good God, when I saw him in Godfather III I wanted to take my own eyes out with a grapefruit spoon.

That said, I thought "Things to do In Denver" and that Arturo Sandoval movie he did for HBO ruled.

[Rakkasan1]

Che ping

[ozzymandus]

The left is already in a frenzy attacking this movie, as it shows the truth about fidel and che.

[hispanarepublicana]

OBLIGATORY PHOTO, OR I'M HITTING THE "ABUSE" BUTTON!!!!

[Right Wing Assault]

Gee, what's the left going to do? A Hollywood star ripping Che? What should they do with the Che t-shirts? So many decisions for the stars to make!

[LongsforReagan]

But,but, they have free healthcare!!!!!!!

[Chi-townChief]

I haven't seen ANY reviews for this yet, good or bad.

[GodBlessRonaldReagan]

Good God, when I saw him in Godfather III I wanted to take my own eyes out with a grapefruit spoon.

Garcia's acting ws the only high point of that film for me. Sophia Coppola was pathetic, and Al Pacino has become a Shatneresque parody of himself. Andy was cool, though.

[Right Wing Assault]

Or did you want Che?

[hispanarepublicana]

Or did you want Che?

Maybe Che-ney.

[hispanarepublicana]

Wynona Ryder was supposed to play Coppola's part, but she got injured or sick.

[Right Wing Assault]

STOP TRYING TO CAST HIM AS AN ITALIAN!

I don't know, he looks more Italian than Leonardo DiCaprio.

"Selling a Cuban story to Hollywood wasn't easy."

No, selling an anti-Castro story to Hollywood wasn't easy. A film showing the commie regime as a "paradise" (as braindead leftist Jack Nicholson called it) would've sold without delay.

[Siena Dreaming]

I like Andy Garcia except I feel like he's choking when he delivers his lines.

This movie looks very worth seeing.

[GodBlessRonaldReagan]

Wynona Ryder was supposed to play Coppola's part, but she got injured or sick.

You are kidding me! Wynona still owes me $7.50 and two hours of my life for sitting through the horrendous Reality Bites.

Che,Che,Che!
Che,Che,Che!
Che's a bad man
Che's a bad man

Sung to the tune from the Disco hit "Shake your Booty"

A handsome Hollywood star on our side! Great! This is the best thing to happen since boxing champion Alexis Arguello of Nicaragua gave the devil to the Sandinistas.

[AuH2ORepublican]

He did a pretty good job playing an Italian in The Untouchables.

[domenad]

I'm not really remarking on his acting, just that he's not Italian. Cast Italians as Italians and Cubans as Cubans, IMHO.

[churchillbuff]

Could Andy Garcia be persuaded to enter politics?

[domenad]

OKay I give you that, and he certainly looks more Italian than DiCaprio does Irish, ala Gangs of NY.

[pettifogger]

knew you'd be here!

'course, I'm here for the same reason

:)

[OldFriend]

Well, don't tell Chrissy Matthews, he thinks his son is just so hip wearing his CHE shirts.

Thanks Nic.

I guess we shouldn't expect an "Oceans 13"?

What was going on in the "Castrowned" picture?

I don't know, he looks more Italian than Leonardo DiCaprio DiCrapio.

There, fixed it for ya'. :)

Good for Mr. Garcia. I hope he saved up enough money to retire comfortably, as I don't think he'll be getting many more gigs...

What we need is a conservative run studio, not necessarily producing conservative works -- but producing entertaining flicks without any politics, and willing to hire actors who will speak out against the Hollywood establishment (and their new 'blacklist').

Castro was "owned" when he fell of that little stage.

Garcia is one of my favorite actors. He's usually better than the film he's in, and if he's in it, I'll see it.

After blaspheming the liberal god he has no career left in show business, so...

[Proud_USA_Republican]

He also looks more Italian than James Caan ever did.

[RuyDiaz]

Yep, I remember going to the neighborhood doctor at night and telling her to please give me something for my sister's pain only to have the doctor tell me there were no analgesics.

Free stuff tend to be expensive in the most unexpected ways.

[RuyDiaz]

I know the story, and I'm salivating at the chance to tell it... That was a couple of years ago, at the Mausoleum to Che Guevara in Villa Clara, Cuba. I think Che Guevara was pulling his leg, trying to drag him to the tomb.
