'Shindig'
A place to talk about movies--Old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.
Portman is becoming hard to cast: her beauty is by now so extreme that its sole purpose is the feeding of obsession
It's true that she is so beautiful right now that it can take you out of the moment when you are watching a movie. She tilts her head in a certain way and you sit there thinking "She's sooo beautiful!" while the dialog goes on without you.
Also smart. And a Psych major. And . . .
the dialog goes on without you
Yes, this. I admit, I'm visually impressionable, but Natalie has to be either pretty good or pretty bad to get me to pay attention.
True--but that's true of all really attractive performers. Or performers having a good hair day--Hell, there were moments in the Elizabethan Blackadder where I was just struck by the hawtness of Rowan Atkinson and taken right out of the show.

Well, he was on the top of his looks game in Black Adder II.
(So was Miranda Richardson, for that matter.)

Not really, for me. I mean, tons of them are really attractive -- but not all of them have my mental angels singing hosanna. Natalie Portman has always set off my heavenly choir, even though I think there are more attractive women out there. It's just something about the character of her beauty. Same with Jude.

Also known as the "OMG, I'm lusting for Rowan Atkinson, who was such a boob in Blackadder I. Woof." moment.
Ah, yes. A moment all of us have suffered through. "Holy SHIT, the man is hot. But... he's inept!"
TYPECASTERS!!!1! You don't deserve him!!!!
Look, Blackadder II, although smokingly hot, is still not the most competent monkey in the barrel.
I deserve him! I appreciate the craftsmanship of that gorgeous Elizabethan doublet he's wearing!
