Guy Ritchie divorcing Madonna to restart career?
Filed under: Action, Quentin Tarantino
I've never been much of a Guy Ritchie fan. When people lament the poisonous affect wife Madonna has supposedly
had on his career, I tell them to go back and watch Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels and dare them not to
cringe. After all – if there's anything worse than a Tarantino impression, it's a Tarantino impression done in a
British accent. Still, the blokes got his share of fans, and surely at least one or two of them will be happy to hear
the following rumor: the tabloids are buzzing that Guy, despondant over the alleged affect that Maddie has had on his
film career, wants to break up. According to Perez Hilton, the
split is likely to be announced by summer, but those dying for a glimpse into exactly what Ritchie's blaming the missus
for would be advised to seek out Ritchie's latest, Revolver.
The allegedly awful, Kabbalah-infused (and thus, evidently Madonna-influenced) caper flick, which bombed with European
critics but scraped together so-so UK returns, opens in the US later this month.

Hey, K! Where'd you get that scoop on the Revolver release date? I didn't know it had attracted a US distrib/release date yet. Saw the flick at Toronto. Didna like it.
Hope your trip home from Sundy was cool. Very cool chatting you with you between movies. ;)

Seriously didn't like Lock, Stock? Easily the best film out of Britain in years. So what if it borrows stylistically from other filmmakers. Isn't that how film has always evolved?

After Snatch all of his films have sucked. Madonna has definitely sucked all ability to entertain the masses out of Ritchie.

Yeah, where did you get that release date? I googled around and just found a lot of T.B.A.s
Sorry folks, but what planet are you all from. I have never met someone that didn't like Snatch. It has even come up in random conversations with people at bars and everyone thought it was good.
And Layer Cake was good too.
