Well, instant fell-in-love-with anyway… [Rosario Dawson](http://images1.fanpop.com/images/photos/1700000/Clerks-2-rosario-dawson-1746917-1024-576.jpg) as [Becky](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tXJu2YoQ-aw) in Clerks II. Also, [Petra Yared](http://www.rottentomatoes.com/celebrity/petra_yared/pictures/) as the sweet subterranean earth muffin Raina in a made for TV Journey to the Center of The Earth 3rd or however many Jennifer Connelly, in a TV movie Heart of Justice. (ok I instant boner her) ---

> [@stoplight](#): > > really ladies?? no mention of Kurt Russell in Tombstone??.. Nope, Val Kilmer stole that movie. I think He’s a fine example of the OP. The actor, even when he was younger, never did much or me. His Doc Holliday was absolutely rivetting. And I’ll have to go along with Cumberbatch’s _Sherlock_. He’s quite a versatile actor, but that was the role that made many go “Woof!” (Caitlin Moran at the _Times_ calls his eyes “opalescent.”) ---

> [@alexandra](#): > > I think she’s hotter in _Shattered Glass_, but that clip is adorable and hilarious. I’ve always seen Rosario Dawson as nothing less than sex on two feet, but yes that scene is fantastic. You just can’t wait for Dante to grab her. That scene also manages to put the Jackson Five in a new light. ---

It shows that Kevin Smith can put together a sincere scene when he wants to. 2. I kinda figured he just wanted to be able to shoot Rosario Dawson’s boobs bouncing like that. Doesn’t that hurt, ladies? ---

I’ve actually made a study of this, just so I could stop wondering. #1 Gina Gershon [http://www.hotwomenmagazine.com/images/photogallery/g/GinaGershon/fullscale/GinaGershon0060.JPG](http://www.hotwomenmagazine.com/images/photogallery/g/GinaGershon/fullscale/GinaGershon0060.JPG) #2 Liv Tyler [http://triviana.com/film/lfilm/lr3liv.jpg](http://triviana.com/film/lfilm/lr3liv.jpg) Not the best image, but what picture could do justice? Some women have to be seen in realtime. #3 Allison Scagliotti [http://images4.fanpop.com/image/photos/24000000/Smallville-Idol-Caps-claudia-donovan-allison-scagliotti-24056082-1920-1080.jpg](http://images4.fanpop.com/image/photos/24000000/Smallville-Idol-Caps-claudia-donovan-allison-scagliotti-24056082-1920-1080.jpg) The only reason to watch Warehouse 13, at least for me. Like Liv, she is better in motion than frozen in a picture. #4 Kari Byron [![](http://images5.fanpop.com/image/photos/29600000/Kari-Byron-kari-byron-29679530-2560-1920.jpg) ](http://images5.fanpop.com/image/photos/29600000/Kari-Byron-kari-byron-29679530-2560-1920.jpg) #5 Alyson Hannigan [http://n2.9cloud.us/449/piccit\_alyson\_hannigan\_358793250.jpg](http://n2.9cloud.us/449/piccit_alyson_hannigan_358793250.jpg) Yeah, I’m one of those. Either she does it for you, or not. Honorable mention: Katy Perry/Zooey Deschanel (They have to be twins) ---

You all are still hung up on actor/actresses. Fine, how about that cunt sister Nietzsche had, or Wagner’s little Mrs? You all are taking the Goffman social representation too far. Fine. Rachel in _Blade Runner_. I drop the mic. ---

> [@dnooman](#): > > You probably liked Lynda Carter as Wonder woman as did I. > > How have we left out Eva Mendes?!? Not only is she _smoking hot_, but she was butt naked in “Training Day” and it doesn’t get much hotter than that. I don’t know. She was sort of dressed like a hobo in The Other Guys. I found it distracting. ---

I considered Kate Winslet a run-of-the-mill ingenue — the nude scene in _Titanic_ bored me — until I saw her in [_Iris_](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iris_(film)) — Oh. My. God.
