Robert Rodriguez and Rose McGowan have reportedly split up, according to the New York Post this week. Which is kind of a problem for both of them considering they were planning to make not one, not two, but three movies together in the near future. Sure, the reason for the breakup pretty much centered around Rodriguez's insistence that McGowan be the star of these three films, much to the collective eye-roll of studio executives. I've been accused of overt masoginism several times on this site, which I have never denied. However, seeing as how Quentin Tarantino's hispanic counterpart here pulled a Spielberg and left his long-time wife for the lead actress he was working with at the time leaves me very little room to say "poor Robby". Sure, its every young nerd's dream to one day write and direct a sci-fi flick... and then spin that off into a lurid, sexual relationship with its starring actress (see: Paul W.S. Anderson-Milla Jovovich or Len Wiseman-Kate Beckinsale), but you kinda scratched that idea as a viable option when you married someone else first... and then had her pop out five kids for you. Everything that follows is nothing but karma. Plus, you can't hope to emulate Spielberg, unless you too have the Ark of the Covenant as your living room coffee table.
