Andreessen And Horowitz Explain Why The Firm?s Partners Are Donating Half Their VC Income To Charity
In the grand tradition of industry barons -- but not so much venture capitalists -- the six general partners at Andreessen Horowitz are donating at least half of the income from their investing activities to philanthropy. The firm has already been turning heads up and down Sand Hill Road, but this move might cause some whiplash. Sure, American capitalists have been donating large portions of their wealth since the 19th century. And sure, the newest generation of tech titans, like Bill Gates and Mark Zuckerberg, are following in their footsteps. But VCs have not traditionally done so, at least at the firm level; major philanthropy in the industry has mostly come from individuals, like John Doerr and Michael Moritz.role models ferdinand porsche gregg williams theraflu masters leaderboard frozen four joe avezzano
Mel Gibson Suits Up For 'Machete Kills'

Things are coming together for Robert Rodriguez. Earlier this month, the Austin-based director announced that two of his proposed sequels were moving forward. "Machete Kills," the sequel to the expansion of his "Grindhouse" trailer, will film first this spring, with "Sin City: A Dame to Kill For" following in the summer.
The next step for each will be casting, and Rodriguez made his hopes for the "Machete Kills" cast early on, expressing interest in Michelle Williams and Mel Gibson. Now Deadline is reporting that Rodriguez has successfully hired one of those actors.
According to the report, Gibson is in negotiations to join the next "Grindhouse" spin-off. There's no word on who Gibson would play if he does join, but a plot synopsis may include hints. A brief description of the story says, "Machete is drafted by the U.S. government to track an arms dealer through Mexico before he can launch a rocket."
Gibson recently found himself back in the headlines for entirely different reasons. After Warner Bros. rejected Joe Eszterhas' script for Gibson's proposed film about the Jewish warrior Judah Maccabee, the screenwriter accused Gibson of anti-Semitic slurs during their time working together on the screenplay. Gibson replied to the accusations via an open letter, and Eszterhas responded by releasing a surreptitiously recorded rant from the actor/director.
Rodriguez has been known to cast actors not long after public scandals. For the first "Machete" film in 2010, he gave Lindsay Lohan her first theatrical release after "I Know Who Killed Me," which had come out three years earlier.
With two films scheduled to film so close together, Rodriguez is unsure whether he'll be able to direct the entirety of "Machete Kills" before moving on to direct "Sin City." He recently told The Hollywood Reporter that he wants to direct the entire film but may have to pass it along to a co-director if scheduling gets too tight.
Check out everything we've got on "Sin City: A Dame to Kill For."

Goodbye First Love: movie review
French indie 'Goodbye First Love' leaves one wondering why she didn't dump the guy earlier.
"Goodbye First Love," a French film from writer-director Mia Hansen-L?ve, is about the first stirrings of romance, and it made me appreciate again the similarly themed and far better American indie "Like Crazy."

Serious-minded 15-year-old Camille (Lola Cr?ton) falls for the older and more footloose Sullivan (Sebastian Urzendowsky), who loves her, but loves even more exploring the world on his own. She overcomes her disappointment and finds strength in a new relationship, but, of course, Sullivan is waiting in the wings.
Hansen-L?ve wants us to experience all this as a kind of?amour fou,?but all I kept thinking was that Sullivan was a prize jerk and Camille would be well rid of him. Grade: C (Unrated.)
