So I just watched Fast & Furious 6 last night and it was worth every friggin’ centavo I paid the movie house. Seriously. I am a big fan of the movie series and I love each and every one, but this is by far the best. It’s got a little bit of everything–family drama, comedy, romance–and a huge dose of action and plenty of fast cars. Just about perfect in my books. And there’s Michelle Rodriguez of course. One of the most kick-ass females around ever. She had some major brawl scenes with Gina Carano (who was plenty kick-ass herself in this movie) and it wasn’t some sissy clawing and slapping catfight either. 😀 And as you can see, she is sooooo fit it makes me want to weep in envy. I am totally aspiring to have her toned musculature (good luck to me!).

I just finished A Game of Thrones the other day and was totally amazed by this platinum blonde heroine. She’s not your typical female warrior, in fact she’s a highborn princess unaccustomed to fighting. But she’s strong and resilient as hell, in a quiet and classy way. Does that make sense? From being a cowered sister to the sadistic and slightly insane Viserys, to being a worthy partner to the powerful Khal Drogo, to finally being a Mother of Dragons and ruling Khaleesi, her transition is fraught with heartaches which she all bore with quiet dignity. That and she never complained. She took the blows and let them forge her harder and stronger. She learned what she must and used her learnings to make wise decisions. I hope my daughter grows up with the same traits. 😉

It was implied that she died in A Game of Thrones but turns out she didn’t as she reappeared in A Clash of Kings. I am but a fourth into the book, but from what I’ve read, I raise my hands to this girl. She just gave the words strong and brave a whole new depth. A boyish girl more interested in sword and arrows than sewing and arts, she has so far managed to live on her own on the streets with little to no resources at her disposal. And elude a whole army looking for her. And hold her own in a fight with older boys. And survive assassination and battles. And all that at the tender age of 10. 😮 I rest my case.

Same here! I love butt-kicking chics than dainty princesses. My first favorite was Guinevere, though she has an affair with Lancelot, hehe. I also like Michelle Rodriguez in those roles, kesa sa mga payatot actresses doing heavy action, para kasing unrealistic, hehe 🙂
Nga naman. 😀 Hehe. MR looks like she can kick ass even in real life or even without any tough girl gear.
Hah! I can still remember the post you wrote here a while back re: girl crushing on michelle rodriguez. It’s in here somewhere :p
This post? 😉 I didn’t blog about her per se, but I put her photo in one of the comments. 🙂
Gosh,, I want to watch FF6 too, but urghh, Im too busy and yet poorita mirasol pa.. tsk tsk.
I had to wait for payday to watch this actually, all the while praying that it’s still showing when I finally get the moolah for the ticket. 😀 Thankfully the One Above heard me and granted my fervent prayer. Dasal-dasal din sis.. 😉
Oh no, you didn’t just post a blog on Michelle Rodriguez.. My heart is beating so fast right now! I am so amazed by this woman! Love her love her love her! I have a complete collection of FF, too! At least hanggang Fast5. Even started nung VCD pa ang uso haha! Now I can’t wait to see FF7. Imagine in FF6, mala-superman na sila (lumilipad), ano na kaya sa FF7. haha Can’t wait even more since J Statham (another favorite) will be there.
FF7 is like FF/Death Race with Jason Statham in there. Oughtta be even more exciting. Geez, I hope our hearts can still take that much excitement. 😀 MR just about embodies my mental image of “Tough Chick”. She’s not pretty by classical standards, but I’d take her over some pretty Hollywood actress anytime. Idol! 😀
it isn’t Michelle’s look that counts, her voice was a thrill too. 😀 I just love how husky and strong she sounds on the movie, 😀
nah, haven’t seen the last 2 movies. 🙁
Yeah, she even sounds tough. 😀 I have watched only 4 FF movies prior to FF6, so I downloaded and watched Fast Five first before going on to the last one. It helped, since I would’ve had no idea about some of the characters otherwise. Try watching them too. 🙂
I agree with you, I like her too, even the way she speaks.
Who’s the “she” you’re referring to sis? Michelle Rodriguez perhaps? 🙂
I haven’t watched any of the FF movies but will try now and rekindle my connection with the rest of the modern world. 🙂 I am currently on a wait for GoT’s 10th episode for this season. The last one left me in utter shock. And yes, I do think Arya Stark has the badass gene (minus the poor decision-making DNA from her mother).
The series is well ahead of me, I am still on the second book! 😐 I am downloading the first season episodes, but have so far stopped watching in the meantime as it messes with my mind (reading book/season 2 while watching book/season 1, that is). 😛 A lot of people reacted strongly to that epic last episode, but I do not dare find out why lest I spoil the surprise in my upcoming read. 😀
I love Daenerys in GoT! I was so happy and shocked in the S01 E06 – A Golden Crown, which was executed quite literally. 😛
Still downloading that particular episode as of the moment. 😛 But I think that’s when Viserys got “crowned” with gold literally, yes?
