Rodriguez Teases that Machete is Still On Track
Ever since seeing Grindhouse, LOVING the fake trailer for the “Mexploitation” flick Machete with Danny Trejo, and THEN hearing they may make a full length movie, I feel like we’ve been strung along by Rodriguez. Is this movie going to be made? Is this wishful thinking?
This past week at SXSW, Robert Rodriguez gave info about upcoming projects, and Machete was one of the items mentioned.
According to Slashfilm: Robert went on to insist that the long talked about feature length version of Machete will happen, and that he’s “got the script” and is “ready to go”.
It would be awesome to see a full Machete flick. We’ll just have to continue to wait and see, but this is some pretty great news!

Linda Hamilton’s Voice WILL Appear in Terminator: Salvation
According to Chud & MTV News, Linda Hamilton is confirmed to appear in McG’s Terminator: Salvation via voice over. No further details have been released, but I think this is pretty awesome news. Hopefully it lends itself to the story and isn’t just a random tactic to get geek butts into the theaters.

geekTastic! Lawnmower Tank
If only I had this when growing up in Iowa. We had about 4 acres of grass to mow, and had to do it every other weekend during the Summer. This invention from Evatech would have solved all my problems.

LOL! Geek Designed Mouse Trap Captures Mouse’s Demise
This is what happens when someone has WAY too much time on their hands. Jim Clark, creator of the PocketWizard, a series of wireless TTL flash remotes, triggers and other gear for photographers, decided to put his creations to use when he discovered a mouse infestation.
Granted, the mouse’s demise wasn’t gory or even deadly. Jim is more humane than I. See the pictures and read more at Jim’s blog or Gizmodo.

Bruno Promises to be More Controversial, More Offensive, and Funnier Than Borat
Attendees to SXSW were treated with about 20 minutes of Sacha Baron Cohen’s Borat follow-up Brüno. Response was apparently amazing. I’ve heard reports of riotous laughter for the full 20 minutes and people saying it is even funnier than Borat. The buzz is that it’s even more hilarious, offensive and controversial, which has me curious.
I’ll see about getting a movie trailer posted soon.
