Guy Ritchie’s RocknRolla Trailer Online
It’s been a good week for Guy Ritchie fans. Not only did the news surface that the Brit director will finally be divorcing infamous talent-succubus/crypt-keeper Madonna, but the trailer for his (100% Madonna free) new film Smokin’ Aces RocknRolla hit the web this week (care of Empire Online, who are apparently too cool to allow embedding of their videos):
I’m a sucker for caper films, and British accents, and shirtless dudes, so this one’s a natural for me. It’s certainly not the most original thing I’ve ever seen – the “Wild Bunch” gang would’ve seemed like a straight rip-off of the Tremor Brothers even if Jeremy “sweats Rohypnol” Piven WASN’T in the thing – and any movie featuring Gerard Butler’s pecs so prominently owes a nod to Zack Snyder’s homoerotic machopiece “300,” gladiator-movie or no — but Guy Ritchie’s only ever been just a bad-dental-hygiene version of Quentin Tarantino, which makes him the BBC equivalent of Joe Carnahan (who’s like the TGI Friday’s to Quentin’s Chili’s) which makes him, well – still pretty cool. In the meantime I’m gonna go rent “In Bruges ” on DVD (hey Universal, day-and-date BluRay release would be nice), which everyone says is great, and if everyone says so it must be true. When the masses speak I listen, which is how I got this tribal armband tattoo. Ain’t it bitchin? It says I rock, but like an ancient Celtic warrior, drenched in the blood of his enemies and wearing a pair of wraparound Oakleys. Wanna take a ride in my Hummer H2? Check out those rims. Shiny.

she’s 49, he’s 39. he’s talented. She’s over-the-hill. This was bound to happen.

Madonna’s the best thing that ever happened to him. And HE’S talented? WTF? There is no comparison between Madonna and Guy Ritchie’s talent. Why don’t you check out the stats on her albums and sold out concerts… then check out stats on whatever it is he does…

Hmm, good thinking, intelligent one (apt name, by the way); ‘ll just check our spreadsheet with the comparative talent data…
Okay, I’m back. As it turns out: She’s a haggard-looking old Skelator who can’t sing, and he’s a semi-decent Tarantino knock-off who could be getting way hotter tail than Grannie Kabbalah if he’d just kick her to the curb. Sorry, but the figures don’t lie. But at least we did our due dilligence and checked the stats.
