04.24.09 A PREDATOR REBOOT… BY ROBERT RODRIGUEZ?
Robert Rodriguez has been reportedly attached to so many damned projects since Grindhouse - Sin City 2, Red Sonja, Barbarella, The Jetsons, Nerveracker, and others - that I’m not sure I believe him anymore. As originally reported by BloodyDisgusting in January and now “confirmed” by IESB, Rodriguez will produce and direct Predators for Fox.
In a news conference today at Troublemaker Studios, several Texas state politicians were in attendance to sign HB 873, the long-awaited reform of the Texas film incentive program. Rodriguez talked to the audience of press members and revealed his upcoming film slate. “I’m going to be able to shoot my upcoming Machete here, a sci-fi action film called Nervewrackers, a re-boot of the Predator series called Predators, and a couple of smaller movies called Sin City 2 and The Jetsons.”
Meanwhile, Variety reports Rodriguez is “eyeing” a June start date for Machete.
Machete [Danny Trejo, puto] is a Mexican ex-Federale with a gift for wielding a blade, who hides out as a day laborer, who is double-crossed by a corrupt state senator. Not immediately clear is whether Rodriguez and Overnight will find a way to use the irresistible marketing slogan that appeared in the “Grindhouse” trailer: “This time, they f*cked with the wrong Mexican.”
“Ju tole me feefty dolars for mow jour lawn, saynator, but ju no pay. Now I get my cousins for kick jour ass!” I think a cooler title for Machete would be Mexican Judo. I also don’t count my Rodriguez projects before they’re on screen. Something tells me he uses movie ideas more as a way to bone chicks like Rose McGowan than as an actual career guide.

A PREDATOR REBOOT… BY ROBERT RODRIGUEZ?
That plot synopsis of “Machete” seems wrong to me. I heard it was going to be a remake of “Sling Blade.”
“I lak them French fried frijoles.”
With all these projects, Rose McGowan is sure to win an Oscar!
Only if they start giving out Oscars in the category of “Biggest Whore”
A boy can dream, Eibz.
I hid out as a day laborer for a while. The pay was better, plus I like the open air feel of riding in the back of a pick up truck.
Rose Mcgowan knows the back of pick-up trucks well.
All I’m saying is, after AVP and AVPR, I think we can close the book on the Predator series. It doesn’t get any better than that. You wouldn’t remake Psycho would you? What’s the point? ‘Nuff said.
Maybe if he came up with better ideas, he could score some higher quality ass than Marilyn Manson’s sloppy seconds. Gnome sayin’?
I am worried Rodriguez might be over-extending himself. Might I suggest he combine some of these projects?
“Predator vs. the Jetsons.”
“Nervewracking Machetes in the Sin City.”
Robert Rodriguez: Can any of play a stereotypical Mexican lowlife?
Danny Trejo: What’s it to you, Puto?
RR: Good Money. Well, okay money. But you get all the free knives and tattoos you want.
DT: Les Ride!

You guys don’t know how hard I have to be to type this without hands.
“This time, I f*cked the wrong Mexican.”
My Dad told me that’s what he said when I was born.
This really has nothing to do with this movie, but I feel i share your hatred for Terrence Howard so I thought i would leave you with this. Here is this guys interview on rottentomatoes where he gives his top 5 favorite movies http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/fighting/news/1815446/five_favorite_films_with_terrence_howard…Is this guy serious?
Stinky Peet works on so many levels:
Bay: So, what do you think?
Spielberg: It’s…. it’s…. it’s awful, Michael.
Bay: Yeah, awesome! I knew you’d think so!
Spielberg: No, aw-FULL, Mike. Just terrible
“This time, I f*cked the wrong Mexican.”
I’m pretty sure Ed Norton already reserved that for the title of his autobiography.
I brought a Danny Trejo to a gun fight once. Worked out pretty well, actually.
Predator: You are one ugly pendejo.
This time, I f*cked the wrong Mexican.
A notion that Rose McGowan has never had.
Meet Jorge Jetson. dododododododododo.
Janine his wife. dododododododododo.
Hija Judy. dododododododododo.

Marilyn Manson’s sloppy seconds? Why, even Rachel would!
