Can someone please explain to me
the thinking behind Natalie Portman's last two film jobs? Gig 1: Black Swan, super intense year long training period, yielded a baby, a future husband, and a possible Oscar nod for her (actually, really good) performance, Immediately followed by: Gig 2: No Strings Attached: A RomCom so bad they had to stick a menstruation joke in the preview.
