The blockbuster down the street does not carry ‘Amores Perros’, which I have seen already-perhaps more than once? They have all the Hispanic gangbanger movies but no ‘Amores Perros’! I say in my Spanish accent. Still the Mexican clerk says ‘no, we no have’. Grrrrr.

So Alejandro, you’re back, eh? So Guillermo Arriaga, the screenwriter and yourself had some issues of ‘creativity at the workplace’. It happens, but as a Director you are the one who brought the characters to life-your style, your cuts, etc. Ahhhh to direct and work with a screenwriter hand in hand. But shit happens in the collaborative process.

Guillermo wrote ‘Three Burials of Melquiades Estrada’ which is directed by Tommy Lee Jones first film-now that’s what I call a collaboration. Can’t wait for the headlines to read: Tommy Lee throws Guillermo off the set or roof.

So ‘Babel’, all was well until I saw Cate & Brad headline the film, I hope they can prove themselves worthy of working with Gael. He’s dog years ahead in acting compared to them. Sorry.

Opening this Friday in New York.
