He is going to make a shit movie just so he could give his ugly, untalented girlfiend a role. Lame.

Yeah, I don’t think Red Sonja should be done in any serious light if McGowan stars in it. It’ll have to be based on camp and cheese or otherwise I can’t see her kicking anyone’s ass.

As for Sin City 2, I’d rather it not happen. The use of voiceover was so horribly bad I couldn’t stand it. Bruce Willis sits at a bar and looks over at Jessica Alba dancing. The voiceover goes something like: “I sit down and look over at her, and she is beautiful.” We see you sitting, we see you looking, and we see that shes beautiful! There is such a thing as being too close to the source material.

I will see this movie if it comes out. The thing that gets me about this story is that Rodriguez seems to only want to do movies with Rose McGowan as the star these days. He’s been rumored to be making a Barbarella remake with her as well, correct? I like Rodriguez and I don’t mind McGowan, but I fear that she may be clouding his judgement. I mean, look what happened to Guy Ritchie when he made a movie just to give Madonna something to do. McGowan was good as the over-the-top B movie style action star in Planet Terror, but she hasn’t really convinced me that she’s an actress worthy of carrying movies on her own. Then again, I guess Barbarella and Red Sonja are both in the same corny, violence and sex driven camp that Planet Terror was, aren’t they? I guess we’ll just have to wait and see…
