Natalie Portman is engaged and pregnant

You probably already knew this since I am the last to know entertainment news, but maybe this is news to somebody!

Re: Natalie Portman is engaged and pregnant

  • My very bitter IF SIL who has a 5 mos old kid was expressing how upset she was last week via twitter after having "a pregnancy announcement unexpectedly dropped into her lap".  Perhaps this was it.
  • It's news to me. Esp since with the snow nightmare, I probably won't be getting my People magazine.
  • I didn't know!  Awww, good for her.

  • I did not know that.  Interesting.  I really want to see Black Swan.

    What have you heard about it?  It's not what I was expecting at. all.  It was actually quite disturbing.  Despite hating the movie though I think Natalie Portman will for sure win some kind of award for her performance. 

    And yay for her and her bebeh.

  • I like dark movies, I've only seen a trailer.  My MIL hated it though.  Why did you?

  • Everyone I have known that saw Black Swan really liked it.  So  you hated it Kidzdoodle?  Interesting.  I haven't seen it.  I'd like to, but I imagine I won't get to see it until it's released on Demand.

  • Her fiance's name means Thousandfoot in French.
  • I'm wondering what Kizdoodle thought Black Swan was going to be about.  It is a Darren Aronofsky movie, did you think it was going to be Center Stage part deux?

    I really want to see it.

  • It is definitely dark.

    That style of movie isn't my favorite to begin with but coupled with the fact that we were stuck in town Friday night due to bad roads in Iowa and were missing the big family Christmas Eve dinner I wasn't really in a good mood from the beginning.  That movie made my mood much worse.  We really should have gone to Little Fockers or something stupid and fluffy. I still don't think I'd like Black Swan if I wasn't already having a bad day.

    For what it's worth, even though I didn't like it, it was really well done.  If that makes sense.

    I had heard the synopsis but admit I am not familiar with Darren Aronofsky.  It was a last minute decision to go to a movie so DH suggested that one.  I knew it wouldn't be like Center Stage but didn't know quite what to expect.  

    I can see people either loving or hating this movie.  I don't picture anyone having lukewarm feelings for it.

  • He wrote/directed Requiem for a Dream and directed The Wrestler.  Which are both fantastic movies but contain little to no sweetness or light.

    I saw requiem for a dream for the first time not that long ago.  Awesome.  It really brought home the "just say no" message.  I can't believe I had never seen that before.

  • I haven't seen Requiem for a Dream, but I hated The Wrestler.  Ugh, what a crap movie.

    You might like Requiem. It was a lot different than The Wrestler. I liked The Wrestler a lot, but I know a lot of ppl that hated it.  Both are dark, but Requiem for a Dream is a lot more intense and interesting, I think. 

  • Requiem is amazing.  Not something I would watch repeatedly, but very good.  If you enjoy shows like Intervention, you'd probably like it.

  • Requiem is one of my favorite movies. I used to sleep to the soundtrack. It is certainly disturbing though - one of those movies that makes you feel like you should bathe after watching it.

  • In other news, Hugh Hefner is engaged.  Holly must be pissed.

  • I saw that.  I'm guessing Hef is hoping for some publicity to get the money flowing again.

    I can't even imagine how Holly must be taking the engagement news.

  • Yeah, they are very different movies.  I know a lot of people who didn't like The Wrestler, but I don't know anyone who didn't love Requiem.  Even my dad loved it and he usually only likes movies that involve explosions, runaway trains and/or Bruce Willis.

    In other movie news, we loved True Grit.  It was SO good.  The girl who plays Mattie was fantastic.

    Dying to see that too.

  • One of the dealbreakers for Holly and Hef I think was she wanted his babies and that is why he never proposed. I am guessing the new girl does not (at least not until she is on her second marriage after Hef passes away) and that is why she got the ring.

    Natalie Portman's fiance was living with his longtime girlfriend when he began working on the movie. I imagine she is not feeling so great right about now.

  • I'm convinced Aronofsky hates humankind and makes movies in an attempt to make viewers commit suicide. I have no interest in Black Swan.

  • I will wait till OnDemand for Black Swan. Did not like The Wrestler- too much hype I think, by the time we saw it. Expected, more. It was slow. The only thing I enjoyed was seeing my friend Scott play the steroid dealer. Until I saw him on the news in a police chase going to jail for taking the part too seriously.

    We did see The Fighter the other day and thought it was excellent. I love Marky Mark even if he does play pretty much the same character every time- a little dumb, kind of quiet, but triumphs in the end.

  • I'm sure they're destined to make it. I mean, what famous couple dates and gets pregnant in less than a year and DOESN'T stay together for the long haul?

    We saw True Grit on Christmas Night.  I loved it the girl who played Mattie stole the show and Matt Damon was hilarious as LeBeef.  I really want to go see the Fighter. 

  • I think we might go see True Grit while my mom is staying with us. I'm excited about it. I'd kind of like to go see Black Swan too, but it's mainly because I love Natalie Portman. We'll probably wait till it's on DVD.

    I really want to see this. I think it might be worth a babysitter.

    I hated the Wrestler. It was just slow and boring and never went anywhere.
