Today was Che's birthday

[Barbudos]

He would have been 79 today, for those of you that care to celebrate.  I had a Cuba Libre (or three) in his honour.

Happy Birthday Che RIP

Funny that the ladies think that way!  Well, not funny, it's okay.  I think he had the same problem in real life.  Did you know he turned his back on people asking for autographs?  He'd say, "I'm not a movie star," and then walk away.

Speaking of Che,

when is that movie supposed to be released?  I thought it was 2007??

Is this the one:

Guerrilla (2008)

Plot Outline:In 1964, Argentine revolutionary Ernesto 'Che' Guevara (Benicio del Toro) travels to New York City to address the United Nations.

Benicio Del Toro as- Ernesto 'Che' Guevara de la Serna

Apparently there are 2 movies in the works, both being filmed at the same time.  Guerrilla will focus on Che's life after the revolution, and The Argentine will focus on Che's role during the revolution.

I hope they're done well.  I rented a documentary at Blockbuster a few weeks ago and it was terrible.  Many facts were confused and the reinactments were poorly done.

I like Benicio though, he seems like a good choice to play Che.

I thought the "offical" Birthdate was June 14th.....

According to "a revolutionary Life" ( which I am reading currently) his birth certificate says June 14 but his mother admitted that it was actually May 14... they lied to avoid people knowing he was conceived out of wedlock.
