I enjoyed the book well enough, and like romantic comedies when they're actually good. This one could have been good. It apparently isn't.

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.

Metacritic and EW did convince me not to see Something Borrowed (35, D+), though.The trailers seemed predictable enough that I feel little need to actually watch the rest of the movie.

Skimming the thread leads me to believe this refers to Thor. I hope to god it doesn't.

Hey. New board.
Ha! That would be great. No, we were discussing Something Borrowed.
Thor looks like it has things that explode good, and pretty Natalie Portman, so I'll see that one.

"already on the kiss-cam with Karl Marx"-
Natalie Portman bugs me so much...I'm not even sure why. Maybe she came off badly in an interview...or, you know, I totally hate Garden State. But I should hold that against Zach Braff more and I don't(Maybe I pretend it was either that or a film about Giant Doctor, so it looks better by comparison? Although I suspect everyone here would see Dr. Acula.) Well, since I have that thought every time I see a trailer...thought I'd share. Cause I'm a giver..

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I will always and continually forgive Natalie Portman becauase of Leon. Also, I didn't see all the prequels. But I did see her romcom, so I have suffered. But...Leon!
Also, she's breathtaking.

Thrive to spite them
I just avoid the romcoms and the Star Wars movies (I hate those) because she was brilliant in Leon and also I really enjoyed V for Vendetta.

I cut Natalie Portman a whole lot of slack because she has a Erdős–Bacon number.

Natalie Portman's voice grates on me.
