Psst! NBC, FX!

"Grindhouse" was a box office failure. I repeat, a box office failure. There are many theories as to why--mine is that, oddly, the kids of today just don't care about homages to 1970s and '80s exploitation fare, "funny" or not.

So why...

Last time we saw Rose McGowan, she was rocking a prosthetic leg/machine gun in Robert Rodriguez's "Planet Terror," half of Quentin Tarantino's "Grindhouse" package. Apparently they're a couple, and now comes word that they're pitching a TV show called "Women in Chains!" to networks including NBC and FX. Reportedly the show would also have a "1970s exploitation sensibility," which in this case means, among other things, mud wrestling.
