++ : L0ZRS [03 Sep 2003|02:53pm] [ mood | bouncy ] [ music | Aerosmith ] :; Lets out a gentle puff from her mouth; she was mid-smoke in her first cigarette of the day when she decided she had enough useless information to update with. Lightly tapped the side against her ashtray, then placed it in; being careful not to put it out. She led a hand over to the back of her neck, rubbing it slightly, then limbered up to type ;: So, Gerti Ali tells me updating is for L0ZRS. I am not a sheep damn you, I will update >:o Ok I am sometimes but you'll get over it. This first part is just random information I heard while listening to the radio, and you get to hear my wicked-clever insight. Be thrilled! While driving I decided to casually turn on the radio, which.. I basically do every morning, but instead of music I put on the news. CRAZY -- I know, but I figured why not I should enlighten myself and all the music stations were on commercial. And the first thing I hear is about a preist in the US about to be murdered because he killed an abortion doctor. Not only that, but when questioned about it he said he had no regrets and he was glad for what he had done. The hell? It's nice to know that's the kind of society we live in. Really, I'm all secure now. I think I need to go to my safe place :-[ The other thing I heard was about crabs in.. I think Southern Florida. Yes, lots of baby crabs (or it could have been lobsters, this was hours ago.. but that's not the point) in South Florida now have herpes. Haha, I know I can't be the only person that is amused by that. I mean, really, they have herpes. Damn sexually active sea crustaceans. Kidding, apparently it's transmitter by touch. And they are very touchy-feely critters. Wow, that doesn't make it seem less dirty at all now does it? ;x :; Shrugs ;: Good thing they weren't all STD infected when I was down in South Beach. For those who don't know I was in South Beach a while back giving lapdances to models and got to avoid all disease-carrying sea creatures. Yes that was random but i'm sure you all feel educated now. I was going to post this update in ebonics because i'm ghetto like that but I don't have my ghetto translater with me :-[ but that one will be soon I promise. I know, you want to learn how I peep dis shit. Ya heard? No, I kid you not; for those of you that saw Ashton punk me you may have caught my random ``chill``'s and ``I would never disrespect like that``'s. Not to mention that appearance on last call. I'm out of the closet -- I am ghetto. Ok not really but I can pretend and be good at it >:o There's some new promo pics from ``Tru Calling`` floating around. Yes I know they are so hot ;) That was indeed lacking of sarcasm. I have no idea where this paragraph is going, really. But I know you're all gonna watch my how when it airs October 30'th so there's no need to threaten you like I am subliminally doing right? Good! And on a side note -- Tobey Maguire is evil and I might post those pictures just because. 6 comments|post comment

++ : Intro anyone? [30 Aug 2003|04:02pm] [ mood | accomplished ] :; Yawns, slinking down into her seat. Limbers her fingers over the keyboard, cracking her knuckles a bit. Eyes the screen, trying to think of a proper ``intro``. ;: So, i'm sure you all know who I am. Fuck, you have to be blind if you don't, right? :; Shakes her head. ;: The newest thing i've got going right now is ``Tru Calling``, where I play `Tru Davies`. We've been shooting in Vancouver Canada. Hah.. yeah, great. I don't know why i'd go more indepth with that, because we all know i'm going to make you watch the show anyways, so why elaborate? :; Snickers. ;: It's gonna be airing October 30th so you all better watch it. Don't make me come after your asses, Faith-style, we all know she could kick major ass. Besides who wants to watch ``Friends`` or ``Survivor`` when you can see me? ;) Besides the TCA promo and all that shit for that, i've been filming and.. that is basically the end of that. I'm still wondering why more of you didn't see `Wrong Turn` :; Eyes ;: But I guess we can find that out later, can't we? I really can't put up with this into shit anymore. Reach me at punkd eliza. I hate you with every fiber of my being, Kutcher. Not really, but, I had to look hostile.. or something. :; Blinks, sliding her hand to the back of her neck to scratch it lightly. Shrugs, over reading what she'd written. Looked out of the corner of her eye, glancing down at a pack of Marlboro's she had from earlier ;: Well, I guess i'll cut this thing short, i've pretty much said all that there is to be said. :; Moves her mouse to hover over update, leaving her computer there as she grabbed the cigarettes, heading over to the door to take a nice smoke outside. ;: 12 comments|post comment

Bio (from here):
At the end of a 5 month search, producers of the 1992 movie That Night had found their supporting star in a young Eliza Dushku. Following this, she appeared as Leonardo DiCaprio's younger step-sister and daughter to Robert DeNiro in Michael Caton-Jones' This Boy's Life. Next for the young actress came True Lies where she worked alongside Arnold Schwarzenneggar and Jamie Lee Curtis. Less noticable films followed (such as Bye Bye, Love, Journey, Race the Sun) before Eliza took a number of years off to finish high school.

Eliza commenced the role of Faith on TVs Buffy the Vampire Slayer in 1999 after she had graduated. What was originally written to be a role spanning over only a few episodes, turned into a recurring character in season 3 and then appeared in episodes in season 4 as well as the shows sibling, Angel, due to fan, writer and producer popularity alike ("It was just supposed to be for a couple of shows, but then I went bad and hooked up with the evil mayor and became Buffy's enemy. The next thing I know, I'm a regular."). Eliza has since returned to three episodes of Angel and the final five episodes of Buffy (2003).

Since her return to Hollywood, Eliza has also appeared in many feature films. Bring It On where she played opposite Kirsten Dunst was at the top of the US Box Office for three weeks and was liked by critics and the general populus.

The highly popular among fans director, Kevin Smith, invited Eliza to be a part of his final adventure for his two characters, Jay and Silent Bob, in Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back, where Eliza co-starred with the likes of Shannen Elizabeth, Ali Larter, Kevin Smith, Ben Affleck and many more.

Following this, the dud teen horror movie Soul Survivors ("I think it's clear that the film just didn't quite come together") which garnered dislike from almost everyone came as the actresses first wrong move since her return. The New Guy pursued which was accepted as a decent effort in the teen movie genre, however nothing spectacular.

She then returned to work with former co-star Robert DeNiro and director Michael Caton-Jones in City by the Sea, teaming her up with James Franco, playing his junkie girlfriend and mother of his child. This role showed the diverse nature of her talent and gave her more attention from an adult audience as opposed to teens.

Having worked with some of Hollywood's biggest names, both as a child actress and at present, Eliza has bombarded the scene with both raw talent and a refreshing non-Hollywood attitude ("My brothers were definitely there to tell me to shut the fuck up.") Looking up to Jamie Lee Curtis for her humble nature ("She’s so amazing and down-to-earth and smart and strong. Even my mother at the time when I was 12 years old said "you watch this woman. This is how you should be a famous actress with dignity and respect for every person you come in contact with." She was my role model I think."), Eliza has demonstrated time and time again that she adopts a very similar attitude according to many fans who have had the fantastic opportunity to meet her.



Fabulous Exclusive Set Report from Wrong Turn!:
AS- I'm here with Eliza Dushku on the set of Wrong Turn. First question... how tough was it growing up with that name? 'Cause that is just so rife with schoolyard possibilities...

ED- I know! There was a two year period where... well, you know, it almost doesn't matter what it is, any name-calling just hurts. They could call you 'big fat dork' and it's just really really hurtful. But for those two years all the name changes and name calling absolutely ripped my heart out, and made me so hurt and upset, and I'd go home and scream at my mother for letting me have that name. And then after a while you're just who cares. "Oh, that's really original, like I've never heard that one before." What about you - what's your name?

AS- So why another horror movie?

ED- Because the first one didn't really quite cut it? I didn't want to say I had tried it, been there and done that, with that project. I'm not dissing anyone when I say that - I think it's clear that the film just didn't quite come together. But you just never know, do you? I remember I got Bring It On and then immediately signed on to do Soul Survivors, and everyone was saying "Bring It On is a joke, it's gonna go straight to video, no one's going to see it, it is so silly, it's a stupid film, awful, but then Soul Survivors... wow, Wes Bentley, he just did American Beauty, and Casey Affleck too, so let's just hope Bring It On comes and goes really fast and then Soul Survivors can redeem you." You just never know. What goes on between reading the script and when you shoot it and what ends up coming out depends on so many different people and good timing and ideas it's almost luck whether it's good or bad. So I just felt I shouldn't let that be my one and only chance at it. And Stan Winston is quite a salesman. He invited me down to the studio, and I met Rob Schmidt (the director - we'll talk to him a bit later) and I said "I don't want to do a movie with monsters. I don't want to have my guts on the table so to speak, to be giving a really honest, raw performance, which is what this called for, and then all of a sudden the monster runs through frame and everyone chuckles. It's not worth it to me to do that." So Stan says "Let me ask you this. Do these pictures make you chuckle?" And he pulls out this poster, these rough images of...

AS- What grabbed you about Jessie (her character) the first time you read the script?

ED- I just thought that there could be a lot more to her than was obvious from the script. I mean it WAS in the script, but it was subtle, and I thought that was cool. So many characters in these kinds of movies can be written up really cheesy and ineffective... cheesily and ineffectively? I just though there was a lot of potential there, and she's a strong chick, you know, and no damsel in distress. She kicks some ass, and steps up. She's tough. I kinda like playing those characters.

AS- Really? Hadn't noticed.

ED- There's nine hundred thousand other movies out there you could go and see where the girl has hands folded in her lap or covering her eyes, screaming and shrieking. I don't feel that's why we're here. We're here to do something different, and make it interesting for people. And fortunately for me there's still more of those stories to be told.

AS- How much of those tough chicks you play - Jessie, Faith, etc. - is just you being you?

ED- Well, Jessie can't really be compared to Faith. Faith is someone that still means a great deal to me, and feel really close to, and really like. I respect Joss and everyone over there so much for how they put her story together, and of course I'm going back to Buffy as soon as I wrap on Wrong Turn. Jessie's not as extreme as Faith though. Jessie's someone- when people get really afraid, really terrified, you turn inward. Jessie gets to that point and finds this rock-hard strength inside her. She's out there, and all she has to rely on is herself, and I think that's really admirable. Even if you make mistakes, there's I think a bravery in not settling for being the victim, for finding that strength in yourself.

AS- Does the image you project at all enter into your thinking when selecting these roles? You're so well known now for playing these tough, self-reliant characters, and you've become more than a little bit of a role model playing them.

ED- Not... no, I don't think about that. I'm just picking roles that appeal to me. But some of the letters and stuff I get, especially for Faith, it's the greatest feeling in the world. I got girls writing to me, "From the first time you walked in you were so strong, and you overcame so much, and I just felt if you could do it I could do it to", you know, getting themselves out of abusive relationships, all kinds of shit. And just knowing I helped inspire people to do things like that, it's such an amazing feeling.
