I've always said that Japan is living in the future, so it comes as no surprise that someone there would build a house fit for a futuristic utopia in the year 2062.

Although, he may be getting an honorary badge now that I've seen the inside of his 4,214-square-foot home that he's just listed for sale. His $4 million Hollywood Hills abode boasts built-in computer systems, theater Read more

Where does a director with Grindhouse and Spy Kids on his resume go next? Possibly to the future! At least, the future as envisioned by a 1960s cartoon. According to Hollywood Reporter, Rodriguez is in talks to direct a live-action version of the "The Jetsons" for Warner Bros. At the same time, the director — whose highly entertaining Planet Terror was the far better half of Grindhouse — is Read more
