Apparently they are when sober. All I know is they're card carrying members of the campus gay club (one's the President IIRC). Maybe their lesbianism has a partly psychological basis... I dunno. *shrug*

All I have to say is if they're getting drunk and fucking dudes, they're not lesbians they're bi-sexuals that happen to prefer women. Lesbians don't fuck dudes.

Uhhh that was Mr. T in those commercials.

lol. I'm not making this up, seriously. she went into great details about shit I didn't understand (WoW lingo) that likely would have made the most obsessive dweeb's head explode.

My friend was telling me the same thing a couple days ago.

natalie portman starred in a short clip were she was full nude walking left to right of the screen. u can see her head to toe, but because of the way she was walking u could not tell if she was shaved or not.

i have it somewhere in one of my old hard drives.

i could not believe it when i saw it.
Holy Mathilda, Leon!!

It's a short "prequel" film for The Darjeeling Limited. It's called Hotel Chavelier.

Clint Mansell is a genius composer. The Fountain and Requiem are both amazing movies (Fountain is my all time favorite), the soundtrack definitely contributed a lot to the awesomeness of the movies. I recently another good flick called 'Moon'. The movie is damn good, and the soundtrack is even better. After the movie, I looked up who was the composer for Moon, and wasnt too surprised to see Clint Mansell's name.

Oh. Well now I am going to have to add Moon to my queue. Been looking for another movie that felt "must-see", have been running out of ideas so I've been resorting to "well, I guess now is as good time as ever to finally watch this."

And looking up Clint Mansell, well... it appears he is also doing the Black Swan soundtrack.

I await epicness.

edit:
Well apparently Mansell was even listed in the trailer. Don't recall having looked there - instant reaction of it being a movie from Aronofsky made me not even bother looking at the credits.

natalie isnt in Darjeeling Limited :eek: :(

but who cares. she was full nude riding a guy cowgirl!

yes, she's in the first 2 minutes or so of the TDL. This is why Hotel Chavelier is the lead-in to The Darjeeling Limited. You see her sexing it up with Jason Schwatrzman and she's putting on some stockings whilst nekkid.

lol, I'm not making this up.

(Hint: click on "full cast and crew" at IMDB. she's listed last, after various "fat Indian woman" and cab driver, etc entries. lol)

alright, just look at this:

Moon is super awesome.

Clint Mansell - 'We're Going Home' from Moon

The first comment on the page is dead on. The movie opens with the same music (the second part, starting 2 minutes into the linked track) but in the final sequence, the same track evokes a completely different feeling. One of my personal favorite pieces of music ever composed for a movie. The score aside, Moon was a stellar motion picture, easily one of the best films of 2009. Better than the 10 that the Academy nominated.

And Clint Mansell always delivers. Even his work on something like Definitely, Maybe (a low-budget, moderately-successful, relatively unknown Ryan Reynolds rom-com), the score's quality stands out.

Aronofsky is one of the few directors that I will see a movie just because they made it. No disappointments yet from him.

I have actually been pretty hyped to see Black Swan since I first heard Natalie was signed on to work with him. Other than Inception, I haven't seen a good movie all year long. Hopefully this and Tree of Live by Terrance Malick finish 2010 on a strong note for movies.

So at the suggestion of others, I picked up Moon.

Great movie, very surreal and enjoyable soundtrack.

Thanks! :)

maybe it was only at the very end, but it was a very brief appearance.

she is on the cast list, anyway...so there you go. Or perhaps it is only b/c she is in hotel Chevalier that she is listed. I'm not sure if that being released as a short film as opposed to the opening of the film was a last second decision or not. maybe that's why she's listed?

anyway, I remember her being in Darjeeling Limited, but it's probably my least favorite Wes Anderson flick. Never had a desire to watch it 2x.

Ugh. Two women that both look like ugly men. Who cares if they're kissing, they're both nasty skanks.

Saw this film over the weekend. Amazing. I guess Aronofsky has been working on this since editorial on requiem for a dream and it shows. Amazing. Portman was amazing and should be in the running for a oscar. From her performance i think she should own it.
