CHARLIE SHEEN Is The President In ‘MACHETE KILLS’, Absurdity ++

I haven’t seen Machete, but even still I have the suspicion that I’m in love with it. It rocks a certain absurdity that I can get behind. Robby Rodriguez is following up the original flick with Machete Kills, and is showing no signs of mitigating the bonkers.

MEL GIBSON Joins ‘MACHETE KILLS’, Robert Rodriguez Plays With Fire.

How do you top something as absurd as Machete? You cast Hollywood’s least favorite  misogynist/anti-Semite  in the sequel and pray you can film the movie before they finally finish self-imploding.

When the first Sin City came out, everyone was all “Oh hey sick!,  Rodriguez is going to be making a sequel! Totally gnarly.” It was so long ago that gnarly was in fashion. Since then we’ve been waiting. And waiting. And waiting. While he makes Spy Kids 4D: Jessica Alba’s Stretched Poon.

Robert Rodriguez To Direct Deadpool? I Say To Thee Yay!

There’s been talk for a while that Robert Rodriguez may be the dude to direct the Deadpool movie. And in the last day or so it seems to be more and more likely we could get this shit in our welcoming nerd mouths. Surely you jest! Naw son, it’s really happening. Apparently at this point Fox and Rodriguez are in active negotiations. I say? Give this dude what he fucking wants.

Deadpool is, at his best, an absolutely ridiculous, ultra-violent chap. Rodriguez, at his best, brings movies of absolutely ridiculous ultra-violence. In a perfect world this shit is a hard R, and we can see some gruesome hysteria. But now I’m gettin’ greedy. Seriously though, the fucked up mind behind Machete, Planet Terror, and the adaptation of Sin City? Win, win, win!
