...course, Orbitz won't be charging those fees to the airlines that run it, and the presence of the airlines' own individual bookings sites have already pushed the web middlemen to more profitable - but less popular - services like hotel reservations and car rentals. How long till the airlines start getting in on that act too is anybody's guess. But with fees disappearing and inside player Orbitz set to move in with pricing that's almost sure to be predatory, a likelier question could be whether Expedia's first quarterly profit is the beginning of a very short...
...about and the kind of comedy that's at work in my other films. Because really, when you get right down to it, what do you have in Desperado? A bunch of guys firing rockets out of guitar cases and stuff. A lot of people watch From Dusk Till Dawn and don't know whether they should be laughing or not. Spy Kids is obviously my least violent film, but then my approach to violence has always been pretty cartoonish and over-the-top, so it's really not that different...
...juggling a couple of different potential projects. I've reached that point in my career where everything has basically become a labor-of-love, which is why I intend to only shoot my own scripts from now on. I did From Dusk Till Dawn and The Faculty, but the whole filmmaking process is a lot more personal if you're filming your own story. And I've actually already written the Spy Kids sequel...
...caffeine-saturated John Woo incarnate, filling the screen with delectable orgies of balletic gunplay and the inspired bedlam of guitar-case rocket launchers. Rodriguez's tongue-in-cheek, violence-as-cartoon mentality was pushed to an even higher level in the Tarantino-scripted vampire caper From Dusk Till Dawn, which, in its own eternally trashy way, transformed the manic carnage of B-grade horror bloodbaths into high art. Throw in the effects-laden thrills of the teen horror opus The Faculty, and Robert Rodriguez is undeniably Hollywood's resident rock 'n roll master of kinetic operas of violence...
What then are we to make of Rodriguez's whimsical Spy Kids, the kind of innocuous, McDonald's-friendly family feature that's primarily geared towards a demographic that would be lucky to sneak a glimpse of From Dusk Till Dawn on HBO before their parents caught them? A kind of kiddie James Bond dropped into a surreal Willy Wonka-style world, Spy Kids ostensibly stars Antonio Banderas and Carla Gugino as a pair of secret agents who decide to retire from the espionage game and settle into a quiet family life, but the real heroes are their plucky tykes...
