mariachi

Just compare a Mexican Mariachi with an Asturian folk guy playing Celtic songs with bagpipes.

After school he shot El Mariachi for $7,000, and went on from there.

Even Robert Rodriguez had to exercise a modicum of management skill and spend a non-trivial amount of money to get El Mariachi made.

Even with the fares, the subway cars are often crawling with mariachi bands, hip-hop dance crews and good-ol' fashioned panhandlers pushing their way through crowds.

A mariachi band walking through the offices every 10 minutes?

I'd say it's a lot more likely to be playing Mariachi than Christian rock...

Lies that's not a man in a mariachi costume!

They were doing on-demand valentines and mariachi bands.

I hate the fact the whenever anyone does a Google image search on me, the first thing they find is a shot of me and my business partner dressed as mariachi's - damn.

I recall the old Sunnyvale CA downtown, with its corner bar with mariachi music at all hours, its mix of thrift shops and restaurants, the old pavement with makers marks from the early 1900's.

So, let's see what happens- given Uber's history with government bodies I'm half expecting them to file their paperwork incorrectly, be unable to operate and protest the fact by sending a mariachi band down Broadway.

El Mariachi got nearly $1m of additional post-production work (paid for by the distributor) to fix the soundtrack - originally the scenes were recorded without sound and Rodriguez had the actors repeat their lines into a tape recorder afterwards - and to do a proper film transfer, vs the videotaped version shown at Sundance.

Most of their “non-car” based offerings (ice cream trucks, mariachi bands, pets etc.,) have all been delivered through partnerships.

Like an example from AI-less era - without the $7,000-made "El Mariachi," there wouldn’t be Robert Rodriguez as we know him.

I think critically successful movies like "Primer" and "El Mariachi" demonstrate that rather well.

Now, "defective" is relative and can simply mean "inconvenient" (looong commutes) or it can be an area that's kinda uncool, ugly, subject to crime, constantly overcast, devoid of the interesting stores, subject to drive-by mariachi music attacks, etc.

Even El Mariachi->Desperado wasn't as different as Dark Star->Alien was.

I thought at that point you are supposed to max out as many credit cards as possible while making the next Clerks or El Mariachi.

This is significant because if people talked about Clerks' or El Mariachi's budget in those terms, the numbers would be in the rane of hundreds of thousands of dollars.
