    It stars Natalie Portman, so I have no reason to see it.

    I haven't seen it, but it's rare to find recognized actresses as obnoxious as her.

    When you say obnoxious, are you talking about her acting or her personality?

    You can look at her performance in Garden State and know all you need to about her talent as an actor. Seriously, that thing transcends Razzies material. She's obnoxious as an actor. She's obnoxious because she has the presence of a donkey.

    I was speaking more on a level of stage presence, but no, you're not right.

    I liked her a lot in V for Vendetta. Of all the films I've seen her in, that's the one that convinced me to take her seriously the most.

    I like Natalie Portman well enough.

    It being directed by Darren Aronofsky = my ass in the seat.

    Cold Mountain for me. A bit melodramatic there maybe, but she sold it.

    The last statement is the main reason I'm excited for this.

    I agree with Clipper, it's a shame about Natalie Portman. I've hated her in every movie she's in, with the possible exception of My Blueberry Nights.

    But, it's Aranofsky and it already looks good.

    I'm kind of interested that Mila Kunis is in this. I think she's a strikingly beautiful girl, but has always been in pretty crap projects. I'm curious to see if she has real talent.

    I don't think she was given anything to work with there. It's a role that could have been played by anyone, and it has nothing to do with her skill (or lack thereof) how it turned out.

    The Wrestler was pretty whatever. The Fountain was atrocious. Portman is the part to be excited about at this point.

    No, they're both great movies (well, Fountain is great and Wrestler is good) and Portman is a shit actress.
