"The Black Swan" or.....

…do I want to pay 8 bucks to see Natalie Portman and Mila Kunis make out

See here
Survey says…probably

SOLD!
I’ll be in my bunk.

I normally a total sucker for movies about psychos, especially women, but this looks horrible. Has Kunis ever done drama before? I’m not a huge Portman fan, either. And The Wrestler sucked (yeah, I said it).

You bet it did.

At least the parts of it that didn’t bore the ever living shit out of me.

I love Portman, like Kunis, and thought The Wrestler was fantastic. This looks like an interesting movie to me. I’ll definitely check it out at some point, and that is independent of any same-sex smooching.

I’ve never seen the Wrester but I love Requiem for a Dream (I’m really looking forward to the sequel Toy Story Requiem).

I’ll probably rent it, it does look interesting enough.

I thought this was going to be a linguistic thing, since the pubs I’ve known that were officially called the Black Swan were always unofficially known as the Dirty Duck.

And here I thought it was going to be all about random events and their impact on business.

I’m a huge fan of Aronofsky’s work and this is probably the movie I’m most excited for this Fall. His films are mostly all great (I even liked The Fountain, though it was certainly not his best work.)

If they both get naked, I’m there. Otherwise pass. The subject matter bores the snot out of me, but the idea of Portman and Kunis el buffo intrigues.

I think this is less a movie about a psycho and more a supernatural horror movie about Portman literally transforming into a black swan.

I like Portman a lot, and I’m a fan of Aronofsky (I think I’m the only person in the world who loves the Fountain); however, I can’t stand Kunis - what, they couldn’t hire Summer Glau? - and I *loathe *Vincent Cassel. OTOH, if the latter two are the film’s bad guys, maybe that will help.

I’ll wait for the reviews.

The good parts will be on YouTube soon enough anyway.

It was a comedic movie/role, but she was really quite good in “Forgetting Sarah Marshall”.

You all have forgotten Kunis’ career-making turn in American Psycho II: All American Girl.

Not.

From what I hear (very minor spoiler…barely a spoiler, really)

There’s not just making out, but a full-on, fairly explicit, sex scene between the two/

I’ll be in my bunk

so as not to spoil the spoiler

Apparently there are two of us! :slight_smile:

I think I just died reading that.
