Cripes, Keira Knightly looks like a kid!
Anyone notice how Rose Byrne is in everything all of a sudden (Bridesmaids, X-Men First Class)? She was one of Natalie Portman's handmaids in Attack of the Clones.
I've gone from liking Natalie Portman to thinking she's overrated to pure fiery hatred over the past year.
Over the last year? I don't get it. Thor and Black Swan made you like her LESS?
By the time I got to Thor I was sick to death of her. (The No Strings Attached billboards certainly didn't help.) Thor was great but there was nothing she said or did in that movie that distinguished her from (almost) every one of her other bazillion roles. Also I can't prove it but I have a sneaking suspicion that she's terrible in bed.

Which puts her in the Cary Grant/Katherine Hepburn "star who's always themselves" category, which I have no problem with whatsoever.
It's not about her being different than other roles! It's the opposite! It's that I like the movie having Portman in it...it's like enjoying that a museum has Matisse in it or that an omelette contains caviar. (I'm not comparing women to food; I'm simply talking about the art thing of combining expensive, luxurious ingredients into the mix.) When the dude says that he represents SHIELD and Portman retorts, "Is that supposed to MEAN something to me?" with her eyebrows going hysterically and her face twisting into upset panic, it really can't be any other movie star but her.
Wait... we're allowed to put caviar in our omelettes? *drool*
My problem with Natalie Portman is that she's ubiquitous and whenever I see her I think "there's Natalie Portman again". She takes me out of the story and reminds me that I'm watching a movie.
Most decadent omelette I ever had: Caviar, sour cream.
