IGN Interviews Natalie Portman

feller writes "IGN FilmForce has posted an interview with Natalie Portman from yesterday's Comic Con regarding her new film, V For Vendetta (written by Andy and Larry Wachowski, creators of The Matrix trilogy) and also covering everything from misguided fans, to what merits the use of violence, to Portman's own opinions about graphic novels. From the interview: 'Most of the Q&A session was dominated with questions for Natalie Portman, the star of the film. While the questions leveled at her ranged from weird to repetitive, one confused young man asked if starring in movies like Mighty Ducks was different than starring in films like V for Vendetta. Problem is, Ms. Portman never starred in Mighty Ducks. '"

Writers of the Matrix?

written by Andy and Larry Wachowski, creators of The Matrix trilogy

More like the plagarisers of the matrix.

I should clarify that. I believe they did write the Matrix 2 and 3. But I believe Sophia Stewart's claim that they stole her idea (especially for the first movie). The second and third movies are so pathetic, that it's obvious to anyone who has seen the movies that they weren't written by the same people.

soon after i started reading slashdot ages ago, i saw references to portman and hot grits and never got a clue what the heck kind of slashdot cultural reference that was. can someone bother to enlighten me?

but hey, all I am is a guy who had a guy in his fraternity date some gal named Tisch who was one of portman's (not her real name, though the actual name escapes me) good friends.

I think I might know who the original hot grits guy was, sort of, possibly.

I used to frequent a site called LinuxNewbie.org back when it was still under the watchful guidance of a guy who went by the pseudonym of Sensei. I remember there being a member called Craig (I think) who posted these zany pictures all the time, and one of them was a Photoshopped picture of Natalie Portman as a statue. People commented on his amazing petrification skills. I think that he may have been the original hot grits troll.

Anyway, take that with a grain of salt because I'm not absolutely certain. It's mostly speculation.

George Lucas' dialog is KNOWN for being bad.

When Carrie Fisher was doing "script doctor" work for him on the "Young Indiana" series, she constantly got into screaming arguments with him (where words like "asshole" were exchanged, according to her) because she kept telling him, "George, people just do not talk like that!"

Which is why he doesn't get people to help him with that stuff.
