Robert's decision to resign from the DGA so he could bring Frank Miller in as co-director was admirable, but some of his other scraps with the union weren't, in my opinion.

Back in 95, Robert didn't want to relinquish control of any of the six job titles he was working under, much to the dismay of the union. I think that had a lot do with his over-sized ego. Clearly somebody should have told Robert that he wasn't shooting a 7000 dollar movie anymore.

As for him as a filmmaker, I used to think Robert was fantastic. El Mariachi was a great film, however, as the years pass, I think he's becoming a hack of epic porportions.

Once Upon A Time In Mexico ranks only behind Romeo And Juliet as the worst film I've ever seen. This Spy Kids junk is beneath him, and I have no desire whatsoever to see Sin City. When did blue screens become cool? Give me a fucking real background to a digital backlot anyday.



You know he did the Spy Kids movies to get out of contract with Disney.
I remember watching Bedhead and being highly impressed, then El Mariachi came out and I was definately a fan. I still consider myself a fan of Rodriguez (even though I haven't enjoyed anything of his since The Misbehavor's from Four Rooms). I hope he does make a come back though. I really think he's better than the shit he's been doing recently.
