Sarah Lane calls it a more polite word: a façade. I asked her if she was expecting to be thanked when she heard Portman reel off 10 or 20 other names during her acceptance speech. Lane said no, because a Fox Searchlight producer had already called to ask her to stop giving interviews until after the Oscars. “They were trying to create this façade that she had become a ballerina in a year and a half,” she said. “So I knew they didn’t want to publicize anything about me.”
As she said in Dance Magazine’s December interview, she felt good about her work—though it was exhausting and frustrating—on the set. “It was a great experience to see the whole process of making a movie,” she told me. But she didn’t realize until just before the Oscars just how exploited she was. All the pirouettes, the full-body shots, and just-the-legs shots were her. (She also said that fellow ABT soloist Maria Riccetto doubled for Mila Kunis in one long shot.) The publicity campaign from the studio, however, spread the word that Portman did 90 percent of her own dancing.

The thing is that people believe this as if one year of dancing can even equate to this woman’s whole entire life and her hard work. Lol it’s pathetic, really.

1) Batman Begins is NOT a good movie. It’s actually REALLY boring. I thought I was going to die when I picspammed it. A whole lot of nothing happens for the longest time while Katie Holmes Joey Potters it up and then the Wayne mansion burns down. The end. It needed more of Cillian Murphy being a sexy psychopath.
2) Up until Black Swan, I disliked every Darren Aronofsky movie I’d ever seen. I think a lot of the time he pushes buttons for the sake of pushing buttons and being edgy, but it doesn’t really work out too well. The Wrestler was overrated and Hallmarky, The Fountain was gorgeous but such a nonsensical clusterfuck, Pi was super weird and gave me a headache, and the ending montage of HORRIBLE shit that happens to every character in Requiem For A Dream scarred me for life.
3) I am so meh on The Beatles. Everyone else was freaking out that their entire catalog was finally on itunes. Not me. This was me:
And because I love you, dear Kat, and extra unpopular opinion just for you:
4) People who haven’t seen Can’t Hardly Wait are complete losers. THERE IS NO HOPE FOR THEM. I SAY THIS AS SOMEONE WHO GOT SWALLOWED BY A METEOR-INDUCED TSUNAMI!
