Michelle Rodriguez Applies the Unix Philosophy to Acting (dubvee.org)

The short version of the Unix philosophy is basically, "Do one thing, and do it well".

Michelle Rodriguez basically plays the same basic character in every movie: tough girl / tomboy who doesn't take crap from anyone, usually wears a tank top, and dies about as often as Sean Bean.

And it's not a bad thing.

While I haven't seen every film she's done, I have seen a lot of them, and she gives a stellar performance every time.

So she may play the "same character" over and over, but she does it very well.

I highly recommend the Dungeons & Dragons movie. MR and CP had great chemistry.

I just watched it yesterday, it was incredibly fun. Sad I slept on it for so long.

That's the second time I've seen that that mentioned today. Definitely going to have to check that out.

It's been two hours. Did you do it yet?

Not yet. It's officially on my ever-growing watch list, though!

It's fantastic, drop what you're doing and go watch it now
