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. '"
Nothing for you to see here. Please move along.
Damn! I was hoping for some hot grits too!
Hot grits and all. We can take it. Let's hear from the old-school trolls.
Come on, now's your chance. It's on-topic, even!
I want to wake up this morning with 50 hot grits replies to this comment. I know you can do it, guys.
Bring it on!

Hey, if this isn't news for horny nerds, I don't know what would.
:) *ducks*
It is also apparently news for people with little or no language skills
bash: rtfm: command not found
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.
I'm so happy that the International Grits Network is interviewing its biggest star!
Because you asked: The "hot grits" and Natalie Portman goes back a little ways on /.
It's an old troll and here is a wikipedia link explaining it better than I could. Have fun reading all about weird fetishes. :)

My humor is probably your flamebait
Usually, Alan Moore, who wrote the graphic novels, doesn't comment on the quality of the movies that are made based on his stories. This is the first movie he actually slammed, and the reason we won't see any more Hollywood movies based on his stories (nor will he work with DC Comics again)

Je ne parle pas francais.
What, no one remembers this line?
It's Natalie Portman, man! Have you no sense of history?
That, Hot Grits, and Beowulf clusters are the only things that matter!
...it's as if a million kittens cried out in terror and were suddenly silenced.

rediculous.
No offense to Portman, but have I been reading wrong graphic novels?
Dunno. Have you read V for Vendetta? There are a lot of historical and literary references ranging from Homer and Shakespeare to the Rolling Stones. Maybe Hyper-intellectual is a bit of an exaggeration, but they're certainly intellectual.
Alan Moore is quite clearly trying to turn the comic book into a recognised an artform in its own right.
What made you think this was an IT news site.
Its not, never was and never was meant to be.
Go read the faq.

While I understand where you are coming from, I think you - and the parent - are missing a key point.
/.) have a huge crush on her.
/. - but they're celebrities that lots of us geeks are familiar with and fans of. I'd argue that it does count as "news for (some) nerds", "stuff that matters (to some)".
Natalie Portman starred in the new Star Wars movies and thousands of geeks (including a lot here on
Bruce Campbell is the star of such geek classics as Evil Dead (Army of Darkness).
So yes, you're right, Hollywood celebrities are on
