Now, don’t get me wrong, I liked “Inception.” It was like one of those M.C. Escher paintings from you college dorm room came to life, spun around a dozen times and then spit out that guy from “Titanic” and that gal from “Juno.” Also, who doesn’t love Ellen Page in an assortment of neckerchiefs? But what I really want is a little lady action. Sure Marion Cotillard gets to brandish a weapon here and there. But I crave is the big, bad-ass ladies with even bigger guns. I mean, damn Michelle Rodriguez, damn. So now the only question is, old school or new school? Decisions, decisions.
OLD SCHOOLGail Davis
Annie’s got not one, but two guns. As it should be.
Jane Fonda
Well now, Ms. Ballou, I like the way you point that thing.
Marlene Dietrich
This is her just hanging at the shooting range in leather pants.
Pam Grier
She wasn’t called Foxy Brown for nothing.
Audrey Hepburn
Admittedly, this is just adorable. I mean, a sun hat – come on.
NEW SCHOOLZoe Saldana
Modern girls know how to double-fist it, too.
Noomi Rapace
No American version needed, thank you very much.
Milla Jovovich & Ali Larter
Two girls, one shotgun. So much better.
Yvonne Strahovski
In my dream scenario Agent Sarah Walker and
Agent Annie Walker meet and compare, um, guns.
Angelina Jolie
Yes, I know, we already had a lengthy discussion about sodium content this week. But Ebert gave “Salt”
four stars, and I want it to do well this weekend. Ladies first, ya know.
So, ladies – old school or new school? Or is it just fun to be schooled, period?
Every New Year, I make a resolution to read more. Not that I don’t read, clearly. I read every single day, all the time, non-fucking-stop. Newspapers, magazines, books, The Internets. But I don’t always read the best writing. And I don’t always read as many really great books as I’d like to. So this New Year, once again, I’m making a pledge to be good to myself and my brain and pick up some excellent books. They say print is dead, but you’ll never look as sexy holding a Kindle as you do a book – trust me.
Willow is my favorite book nerd, period.
