Doesn’t matter if you’re in advertising, design, or freakin’ basket weaving. The most successful are usually the most self-disciplined. In short, the ones who “do it and get it done … no fuckin’ around.” Wise words.
Didn’t believe the last Machete trailer? The movie’s for real. And coming to kick your ass September 3rd. With everyone from Robert De Niro and Lindsay Lohan, to some hot twins, a luchador, and even Steven Seagal. Yes. Yes. Yes. (via Screening Log)
I put Sofia Coppola right up there with Wes Anderson and Scorsese in terms of making spot-on soundtrack choices. Somewhere, her latest, is set to feature a ton of Phoenix tunes. But it’s the use of the old Julian Casablancas demo I’ll Try Anything Once (which later became The Strokes‘ You Only Live Once) that’s got me hearing it in a whole new way.
Not sure what move this is but looks like it involves a lighter. One thing’s clear, this is no Gymkata.
Apparently there was a PC game called Bikini Karate Babes 1 because now there’s a sequel—the respectably titled Warriors of Elysia. It looks just as epically cinematic as the name suggests.
The O.G. Warriors “colors” patch used in the 1979 Walter Hill classic is up for auction on eBay. Supposedly from the film’s Prop Master. Only three days left. Too bad it’s $75. Check it out.
Can’t tell you how many times I’ve watched The Warriors. But I can tell you I’ve watched it twice in French.
UPDATE: WARRIORS REMAKE
Unfortunately, the remake is still a go. The latest is that Tony Scott is directing for MTV Films, only it’s going to be set in LA instead of NYC. IMDB says 2011. We’ll see.
Remember the fake Machete trailer in Planet Terror? Well, now there’s a real one …
This is the “Illegal Machete Trailer” with a special Cinco De Mayo message from Danny Trejo.
While a lot stays true to the original-fake trailer, Robert Rodriguez has packed in even more badassery and an onslaught of familiar faces—from Robert De Niro to Lindsay Lohan to Don freakin’ Johnson. (via Ain’t It Cool News)
UPDATE:
Nice black and white tribute to Danny Trejo by The Chumbeques. (Thanks, Mike!)
Pretty and pretty depressing all at the same time.
The only direction Absolut Vodka gave Spike Jonze was to make something important to him. So he made a love story about two robots living in Los Angeles. The 30-minute short gets global release in March.
