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'm pretty sure I heard her voice in Halo 2 as well. Playing random-ass no-name marine NPCs. Must be from before she got really big.

She was in Halo 2! I forgot about that. I think she was already big but just wanted to do it. On the Resident Evil commentary she talked about how she loved Half Life and smashing zombies with a crowbar so she probably was a fan of Halo as well.

A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The best ones are thoughts that many people can relate to and they find something funny or interesting in regular stuff.
