Watch, drool and then discuss...

Aside from some of the obvious pratfalling by Danny McBride, this does look quite fun. Thought Pineapple Express was a bit hit and miss though, so maybe this is just the highlights.

She was in Star Wars. Even if they were the worst of the movies, they're still the greatest piece of work an artist can ever participate in.

The three prequel SW movies were the worst pieces of trash I've ever had the displeasure of paying too much to see.

Lucas took several GOOD actors and ruined the movie with his dialogue and obsession with CGI.

Um... think you're missing the point, I was referring to Ms Portman's scantily clad scenes in the trailer, thereby earning said film the honorific of "Great".

But yes, in terms of artistic quality, it's been all downhill since Leon (or The Professional as folks on t'other side of the pond like to call it). Not seen Black Swan yet though...

I heard it's good.

In terms of her juvenile roles, she was also quite charming and good in Beautiful Girls.

As for adult roles... Hrm. Yeah, not a lot of quality. I heard she was good in Brothers, but again, haven't seen it yet.

Can't even really remember her performance in Closer. Not a good sign.

Oops, yes Beautiful Girls, good call. She had a fairly minor role but most of the best lines "Romeo and Juliet... the dyslexic version."

V for Vendetta was good, she's in it. She isn't what's good about it.

I never understood some people's obsession with her. She looks tired and worn out in that trailer.

She is amazing, beautiful and talented, I could watch her all day.

I thought she was good in V for Vendetta, the part hardly gave her any room to act and still, in the scenes where she was granted some room to express, like the prisoner part, she acted her little panties off... hmmm... Portman... little panties...

I thought she did very well in "Brothers." Also wasn't she a stripper in some movie not to long ago?

As much as I love N. Portman, I think that movie looks pretty crap and doesn't suit her.

I thought she was really good in V though and I think she was also quite good in the final Star Wars.
Basically, what MGS but with some opinion on the movies in there too.

Enlist as a virtual Ultramarine! Click here for my Chaos Gate (PC) thread.

"It is the great irony of the Legiones Astartes: engineered to kill to achieve a victory of peace that they can then be no part of."
- Roboute Guilliman

"As I recall, your face was tortured. Imagine that - the Master of the Wolves, his ferocity twisted into grief. And yet you still carried out your duty. You always did what was asked of you. So loyal. So tenacious. Truly you were the attack dog of the Emperor. You took no pleasure in what you did. I knew that then, and I know it now. But all things change, my brother. I'm not the same as I was, and you're... well, let us not mention where you are now."

Leon will always be her best movie anyway.

I enjoyed Pineapple Express overall, though I agree that it was uneven. Danny McBride's a darn funny dude, and I've quite enjoyed him in Eastbound & Down.

I enjoy D&D, D&D humor, pot humor, and the people who are in this movie. Therefore, I expect I'm going to enjoy this movie.

I agree. Haven't seen V yet, but I keep trying. And she is a very attractive woman. Plus, this movie looks hilarious. Will be seeing it.

I think he's just a big Star Wars fan. As are many of us.
