Madonna – Guy Ritchie Divorce Soon?
So now that I read that Madonna’s latest gambit to break into movies has failed, utterly, I wonder how long before she discards the drained husk that was Guy Ritchie, Hot New Edgy Film Director. For the past couple of decades it seems she’s battened onto the hot new director de jour in the hope that this time it will be different. Actually, perhaps the most sinister thing about Madonna’s non-career in movies is that dumb execs someplace keep greenlighting her movie projects even while the many lessons of history should immediately inform them that their success is a longshot at best. She’s just eminently unfilmable. Gotta admire her dedication though, she reminds me of the desperately unfunny guy (Rupert Pupkin!) Robert De Niro played in King of Comedy. I just wonder who she will next descend on to suck dry their creative soul: my money’s on either Shyamalan or Aronofsky.
