I've liked her since Jack and Bobby.

Buffista Movies 7: Brides for 7 Samurai
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
That and Everwood. I somehow thought those were closer in time, but imdb tells me I'm wrong.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
wow. well, that's how Lisbeth Salander is supposed to look, more or less.
Less well-endowed though.

In terms of bad ass action heros from movies? I would back Vasquez from Aliens against anyone.
("What about a Terminator?" asked Pete. "Hell yes. Vasquez would kick its ass," was my answer.)

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

She's totally a badass. She dies like a Spartan, and redeems the Lieutenant in the process.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
On an ironical note, Jenette Goldstein, who played Vasquez (and I agree with you) played young John Connor's foster mom in T2. The T-1000 got her.

I do believe in killing the messenger, you know why? Because it sends a message. ~ Damon Salvatore
I was just going to say, Bev. though, she'd lost quite a bit of her Vasquez muscle by then.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I'm watching Sunshine and because of tuner commitment, I'm not going to watch beyond the first hour. I remember being impressed by the cast, pleasurably surprised by Chris Evans, and then the movie going completely batshit in the final act.
I'm scared to go to Wikipedia and look, lest it tarnish the fuzzy feelings I'm getting right now...

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."
You are correct on all counts.
