Just as important, Rodriguez had the brio to bulk up -- and get beaten up -- over more than four months of training. The results were impressive, if a little shocking. ''When I saw myself on [screen] working the speed bag, I said, 'Oh my God, I look like I'm on steroids!''' Rodriguez laughs. ''I didn't even think it was my body. I didn't know my ears were that small.'' GOOD SIGN Kusama's first feature snagged her a best director award and shared the Grand Jury Prize for best dramatic film at this year's Sundance fest. THEN AGAIN Women's sports flicks often suffer first round knockouts at the box office.
