Robert Rodriguez* took a hit on the chin with the financial turd that was "The Grindhouse." We're both still a little upset the movie didn't hit with audiences because we love Robert Rodriguez and think it was a cool movie and premise. We guess it just wasn't in the cards. Well, Robert Rodriguez is in talks with studios over the much talked about "Land of the Lost" (which we think at this rate will not get made within the next 10 years) and a live-action "Jetsons."
What!?! The master of blood-packs doing "Jetsons!?!"
Remember the Spy Kids? It's not totally out of reach and if Robert Rodriguez wants to do it he'll have to kiss up to the Director's Guild of America (DGA). Robert Rodriguez left the DGA in 2004 over being allowed to share directors duties and credits with Frank Miller. Stupid rules prohibit their collaboration for some reason and in protest Rodriguez left. It's rare but not uncommon. George Lucas did the same thing way back when. That kinda worked out for him...
*Robert Rodriguez is a God!
TMZ has learned Mel Gibson exploded in anger last night on a college campus after an expert on Mayan culture accused him of racially stereotyping the Mayans in the movie "Apocalypto." After a little Q&A, one lady kept bugging Mad Max and stated his film was racist in which Mel responded "Lady, Fuck Off!"
Poor Mel. He's having a bad year (or two). He's made remarks against Jews and Women now. We wonder what's next? Crippled children? Mentally handicapped? We should start one of those "death-pool"-like games to guess who he's gonna loose his temper at next. Good money's on a black dude who then ends up beating him up. That'd be cool to see.
Francis Ford Coppola's Comeback Tour Begins This Fall

Sony Pictures Classics has acquired North American distribution rights to Francis Ford Coppola's "Youth Without Youth," the director's first film since 1997's "The Rainmaker." A late fall release is planned.
Coppola could use a resurgence about now. His talents are being well applied to the wine industry. Seriously, if you like a great red check out his Black Diamond labels. Anyway, the film shot in Romania for 18 months and now looks to be headed toward the big screen.
This is directly from the horse's mouth. Whedon, the creator of the Buffy & Firefly TV shows, was slated to create the new WONDER WOMAN. However, on his blog, Whedon announced the project is no more...
Every wonder what Kevin Smith's office looks like? His dog? His closet? Silent Bob poker chips? DVD collection? How about his jersey collection?
