awesome – Olivia’s picture is right under my name, like her pic is me
I’m also surprised no one picked Shoshanna from Inglourious Basterds.
@Diandra Rodriguez, bu Soshanna wasn’t all badass. I felt that IB was all about Pitt haha.
@Julyssa, Christoph Waltz overshadowed everyone in IB.
Awesome picks, guys. :)
@Rodrigo, ditto~ i can’t think of much at the moment, but this list needs Noomi Rapace.
