IESB had some brand new pics of Benicio Del Toro playing Che Guevara in Steven Sodaburg’s upcoming movies The Argentine and The Guerilla.   I’m not sure about this whole Famous-Person-As-Separate-People trend of biopics.  At least these are two separate movies – I tried to watch I’m Not There ("inspired by the many lives of Bob Dylan") yesterday and it was like watching a guy smell his own farts for two hours.  Oh my God, you’re so innovative!  Can I award you the Oscar for smartest person in history?!

On a more positive note, Del Toro was born to play Che Guevara like Forrest Whitaker was born to play Idi Amin and Morgan Freeman was born to play Mandela.  Casting just doesn’t get easier than that. 

Also: I wish there was some way to turn Benicio Del Toro into a hologram projected next to my full length mirror.  That way I could get dressed and then look at the mirror and go, "So… how do I look?"  And the Benicio hologram could take a long drag of its cigarette, furrow its brow, then exhale and smile really slowly. "Berry good, my fraing.  Berry berry good," he’d say.  -Robo with the assist again
