Linda Fiorentino Gets Religion

If you thought Linda Fiorentino was tough in The Last Seduction, you ain't seen nothing yet. Variety reports that Fiorentino, who recently lent a hand to professional world-saver Will Smith in Men in Black, has signed for the female lead in Dogma, a satire about organized religion from writer-director Kevin Smith. Fiorentino will star as a woman chosen by rebel angels to save
mankind. S.N.L. alum Chris Rock will play one of the angels, with Ben Affleck and Matt Damon also set to star. Production begins in February.


FROM A FIORENTINO FAN:

After the 'hint' that Kevin dropped about her a few weeks ago, I just wanted to mention that she would be more than appropriate for a Kevin Smith film. After all, she is a firm believer in
the deep-dicking theory.

"firm"... damn that was easy!

Anyway, this is from the August issue of Neon, which is a British film magazine.

Q: What do women want from men these days?
A: Sometimes all we need is a big dick and no arguments. What could make us happier?

Q: Isn't that a bit simplistic?
A: Maybe, but I've learned not to expect that much in relationships. So being well-hung is at least compensation for a general lack of sensitivity in the emotional area. I mean, sure, it
would be nice if one day I could meet a man who can be upfront with me and learn to share his life with me. But if I sound cynical, it's because I am.

Q: Did you feel an affinity with Bridget's (from The Last Seduction) less-than-passive attitude towards sex?
A: Sex is a very integral part of what defines us as beings. I think the way men and women relate to each other sexually can say a lot about how they interact in every other phase of life.
If a man is always on top, always comes before his girlfriend does, and isn't it that concerned about her sexual needs, then it's pretty obvious that there's a major problem in the way the
couple is relating to each other. But there aren't that many similarities - except that we're both women and we both like to be on top!

 

The rest of the interview is worth checking out. The magazine cost $7, but comes with decent-sized posters of Leon (!), 2001 (!!), Pulp Fiction and Bullitt. There is also an article titled
"Homer Simpson Nominates His Top Ten Art Films".
