The cool thing about running your own site and not being under Big Media’s thumb, you get to curse as you damn well please.
I love me some Rosario Dawson. That lady’s pleasing to the eye as well as the mind. And did I mention she’s pleasing to the eye? In the following Entertainment Weekly interview, she talks about being a “hot geek” and apparently whatever else enters her mind. The world needs more “hot comics geek chicks”.
I mean, she’s starting her own comic. My gods, she may be the perfect girl.
“The Bible has been translated into Klingon,” she exclaims, apropos of nothing. “That idea is so fascinating to me: language, how we communicate.” From there, Dawson warp-jumps to talk of Illinois senator Barack Obama, Shakespeare, and impulse buying. “You know that movie A Christmas Story?” she blurts, her full lips spreading into a broad smile. “Remember the leg lamp? Dude, I got it! One leg and a high heel with fishnets that lights up. It’s, like, the cheesiest thing on the planet.”

Now, all of a sudden, Dawson’s choices are forming a pattern. In August she begins shooting Quentin Tarantino and Robert Rodriguez’s film Grind House. And she’ll soon reprise her role as Gail, the trigger-happy streetwalker, in Sin City 2, Rodriguez’s second adaptation of Frank Miller’s graphic novels. More immediately, she’s starring in Clerks II, the sequel to Kevin Smith’s breakout 1994 slacker salute, which opens July 21, and she’s just released her own comic book, Occult Crimes Taskforce, which features a gun-toting likeness of her. But it seems Dawson isn’t so much a dream vixen for game-playing, metal-loving, comic-flipping nerds as she is one of them.
”[She] is one of the few actresses that I’ve met who doesn’t have eyes on the prize,” says Clerks II director Kevin Smith. ”She’s not sitting there going, ‘How many films will it take me to get an Oscar? How many to get on the A list?”’ Even so, the filmmaker couldn’t fathom why Dawson would want to play fast-food manager Becky, the seductive love interest in his low-budget dudefest — that is, until she showed up praising Rob Zombie and quoting lines from an obscure comic called Johnny the Homicidal Maniac. ”She’s a fangirl,” declares the director. ”The hottest geek on earth.”
