Acting wise, I try to avoid her movies at all costs after seeing her couple of releases at the turn of the century. Watching her on Actor's Studio, she seems deeply tormented. Watching her o nstar wars, she lacked all interest in being a sci-fi chick. She acted best in that movie...when she was in that casket. She is an Oscar winner is she not? The thing about that is, you hide behind a great director, you get recognized and overated no matter what.
She is constantly on the sexiest women's list, even though she is the prudest girl in hollywood. Making maybe one sexual film (which again, I avoided).




She fits in the Selma Blair category, except I love that Selma.

She has manly facial features?? Your either blind or have horrible taste, she has a very girly and very cute face.

What is wrong with brown eyes?

She's a good actress too - See "Garden State" before you say she's not. Yes she sucked in Star wars, but that had as much to do with the horrible dialogue then her acting skill.

She showed her talent at a young age too. As mentioned above, The Professional aka Leon was an awesome film which she played her part very well in. After seeing that, and then Garden State, if you still think she isn't at least a GOOD actress, then you just have problems.

Prude? I don't know where you get that idea from but yes - in a sense your right. She acts a lot less like a whore/slut then most of the women in hollywood. I can't believe guys consider the fact that she isn't, or at least that she doesn't act like a slut a bad thing. Thats a plus in my book, not because I see her as prude but I see her as a classy lady. She also seems more down to earth and intelligent then most women, which is probably another reason you don't like her.

If the only vision you have of her is from Star Wars, then no wonder. Everyone sucked in that film, even Sam Jackson sucked as far as I'm concerned, and he is one of my favorite actors. Its obvious that other elements of the film made the acting suck, not just the actors.

Your probably the guy that likes blonde hair, blue eyes a rack and little to nothing in the intelligence department, which granted is the typical males fantasy. And so I guess I can't fault you for that, but don't make it look like other guys don't have many many valid reasons to lust after her. In fact, I find my reason's for finding her attractive 100x more valid then a single argument you made against her.

Don't be mad that most guys obviously have better taste in women then you do.




lmao!!!
1. Brown eyes are 'average' star quality mandates that you have atleast hazel eyes, as that is what's marketable in the industry. How many women have brown eyes in hollywood anyways? Maybe like 5.
2. Guys don't like short girls, they like statuesque models. You may be short so you go after short girls.
3. She is wayyyyy to prude, she comes off as a insecure little girl. No chest, twigs for legs.
4. If you are a great actor you will rock any part, even star wars.
5. No one has a better taste in women than me. Nobody
6. Many beautiful men, are very intelligent and talented, so shut up stupid, silly little man.
7. Angelina isn't a slut, Beyonce neither. One has to know how to use their sexuality the right way, natalie clearly doesn't have anything to work with.




Vidict: She is just an average NY girl, who one would bring home to mom. Not a star.

She is well above average, and yes you can bring her home - thats what guys like about her.

You look like a complete moron with your brown eye's argment. I would count them up, but I have better things to do with my time. TONS of stars have brown eyes, male or female.

Your OP came across like you were trying to prove how unattractive she was, not that she shouldn't be a star.

I was simply arguing on the facts, and why guys like her. Not whether or not she belongs in hollywood or not. Besides, there is no select criteria for every actor/actress in hollywood.

And statuesque models??? Your in a fantasy world, maybe most guys dream about those women, but since they can't get them the next best thing is a little 100 lb 5'1" hottie that you can litterally toss around. Get a 6" women in your bed that you have to climb, then get a little tiny 100 lb girl and see which one is more fun. Almost every guy I know over the age of 21 goes after short girls, and not the tall ones.

I even have a really good female friend that complains all the time about finding a guy taller then she is or as tall as she is, since most of those women that are that tall would rather have a guy thats taller then them or at least as tall. The fact is, she has a hard time finding a taller guy or one thats at least as tall as she is because all the tall guys go after the really short tiny girls.

Ask max, he knows what I'm talking about. You've proved that your probably just an 18yo HS virgin with that statement. Like I said, get a few women in your bed first and then see which one is preferable.

EDIT: I forgot to argue your other points.

If you don't think Beyonce comes across as a complete whore, I don't know which videos of her you've been watching. AND she isn't hollywood, or an actress with a couple exceptions - she's just an "artist" that lots of guys think is hot. I almost vomited when I saw her in that Goldmember movie, who wants a girl with a fro.

And Angelina Jolie is definetely a complete freak. I guess you haven't read much about her personal life, try Rolling Stone back when she first got with Billy Bob Thornton. She likes the crazy guys, even so much as liking the absolute criminals. She is practically a masochist, thats into bloodletting, self mutilation and getting soffocating during sex. Maybe you think thats hot, but I'm not about to slice a girls wrist and beat her while we're getting it on just because it turns her on. Regardless, she definetely comes across as a bit of a slut, beyond all of that.

Lastly, like I said - Even Sam Jackson litterally SUCKED in his role as Mace Windu. Normally I'd agree that the actor makes the part, but the Star Wars movie's were a huge exception to that rule.

You are a moron. Toss around women?! There are less than 3% of actors with brown eyes, if you knew anything you wouldn't act as retarded as you do. Go find a study. I study film and these are the facts. You can't get model girls and go after little pre-pubesent girls, whatever floats your boat. I never said she was unattractive, by regular standards but in terms of 'star' material.




I get way more girls than you. Tall men are with tall women. Short men, such as yourself, are with short woman. You must be psychotic if you ever seen a 6'3'' male with a 5'3'' female. It looks rediculous like he is her older brother, or father even. He would have to hunch to even hold her hand. So please STFU thanks.

Angelina Jolie isn't a slut, or much of a freak. That is all heresey.




I mentioned beyonce because she was right on top of natalie in sexiest countdown of some stupid mag. Natalie shouldn't be anywhere in a sexy list countdown, hands down.




Sam Jackson did a fine job for such an insignificant role. She didn't.

Funniest post of the day so far, thanks! You've really never seen a tall man with a short woman? I see it quite often.

Try this, turn off your computer, go outside, and look around. ;)

You simply switched arguments, your entire argument in the OP was "What guys see in her" which would be talking about attraction. Then you tried to change it to that she isn't star quality. Its up to the people to decide what they like and they obviously like Natalie or she wouldn't still be around. Your just ignorant to the world outside of college, which is understandable because everyone thinks they know everything when their in college. And believe your opinions are all high an mighty because, oh your "taking film classes in college". I bow down to your superior idiocy.

I'm 5'10", I don't consider that short and I like all kinds of women, short women have a most definete appeal. I know 10 guys over 6' right now in relationships, the tallest girl anyone of them is with is 5'6". And thats the tallest guy, 6'4". Trust me, most tall guys like the shorter women, and the shorter women like the tall guys. This rule is true more then 50% of the time and probably closer to 60-70%.

I was simply arguing since you are so naive as to believe nobody could like Natalie and be attracted to her, NOT whether she should be a "star" or not.

Just because you choose not to accept it as truth doesn't make it wrong. Thats strait from both of their mouths, go read some things on her and get back. At least know WTF your talking about before you argue again.

I mentioned beyonce because she was right on top of natalie in sexiest countdown of some stupid mag. Natalie shouldn't be anywhere in a sexy list countdown, hands down.

She belongs there IMO and more then 60% of all other guys I know would agree. Start a poll and see what the outcome is. See how much weight your meager opinion really carries.

Sam Jackson did a fine job for such an insignificant role. She didn't.

No he didn't, he sucked a fat one and once again, 60%+ of everyone I know feels the same way. The characters and dialogue were all flawed, the whole movie sucked. YOU CAN'T base her acting skills on the star wars movies alone.

Wow, you guys are really arguing over Natalie Portman.

Yes, I think she is hot, but I think it's just because I saw her in The Professional, she had that great role(I heard they didn't include more sexy scenes because her parents didn't want her to, because of her young age).

I agree with what others said: This thread is too long.

You sir are an idiot. I am 6'2" and my wife is 5'3" and we don't look ridiculous by any means. I don't have to hunch over to hold her hands and I can kiss her just fine standing up. You don't know WTF you are talking about "So please STFU thanks"

You need to step back into reality.
