Great avy btw, Eliza Dushku is unbelievably sexy. Esp on Dollhouse.

yes, i think so too! Wink

Eliza Dushku. A very beautiful woman, but she needs to fire her agent. She's been in too many bad projects.

Agreed. She needs to be in a comic book movie. Elisha Cuthbert could use a new agent also (I always get those two confused with each other).

by **Buscemi** Fri Jun 19, 2009 7:33 am

We need to do a list of good actors who need better agents. Two more I'd like to add are Rachael Leigh Cook (she did She's All That and Josie and The Pussycats but everything since then has been straight-to-video or barely released) and Jacinda Barrett (her career was promising but she got forced into three remakes in 2006 and disappeared right after that).

i was so excited when i read that eliza was in the running for the role that scarlett johanson got in iron man 2. I think scarlett is overrated, though she was pretty hot in The Island.

That's about as useless as an unrated version of Lords of Dogtown.

LOL very true.

by **Buscemi** Thu Jul 02, 2009 12:16 am

I'd say the most useless director's cuts are any straight-to-video film that didn't have a previous version to begin with (example: titles from ripoff artists The Asylum).
