I hated ‘V For Vendetta’, everybody and everything in it.

I liked her in Garden State though.

INT: GHOSTLEY RELM

Padme suddenly appears, Qui-Gon Jinn, The Elder Obi-Wan, Yoda and, The Elder Anakin (whose face continuously morphs from Hayden Christensen to Sebastian Shaw), greet her. Padme is horrified.

PADME
OH NO!! NO!! I died, I’m out of it!!!

YODA
(YODA LAUGH)
Died, Died she says.

OBI-WAN
The force runs through you young Padame.

PADME
BULLSHIT!! How can I have the force!!

QUI-GON-JINN
Well, metachlorines can be transfered sexually.

PADME
WHAT?!!

QUI-GON-JINN
And Anakin had them coming out of his ears.

ANAKIN
Sorry about that honey.

PADME
Don’t you fucking honey me. Look, I’ll call my agent dammit.
I had a contract for three pictures.

GEORGE LUCAS
(off screen)
Thats not exactly true.

George Lucas appears in the ghostly relm, all eyes turn to him.

GEORGE LUCAS
If you look closely at the fine print, you’ll see that there
is an option to extend for any sequals, prequals, reboots,
television series, holiday specials or technological
manipulation.

Everyone looks at the morphing Anakin.
Padme is horrified.

GEORGE LUCAS
Now I have an idea for a sit-com. “FORCE THE GHOSTS!!” The
Empire has found a way to collect Metachlorines to fuel the
New, New Death Star. This puts a strain on the Ghostly Relm
and so you are all forced to share a house together with your
pet Ewok. Hillarity ensues.

CLOSE-UP PADME

PADME
(screams)
NOOOOOOOOO!!!!

“Poor, poor Nat P. I’m starting to see past the fanboy hype and see that maybe this girl isn’t as awe-inspiring as we first thought. Outside of The Professional, she has yet to find a role that she could really sink her teeth into. Yeah, I know she got sorta nekkid for Closer, but other than that her work in that film really wasn’t much to write home about. V For Vendetta is an awesome flick, but anybody could have played the role of Evey, perhaps better than Portman did. Portman alone did not make that flick so awesome, it was the story and a kickass antihero in V. A friend of mine made an excellent observation, comparing her to Christian Bale. Bale broke out as a teen actor, much like Portman, but it wasn’t until he sunk his teeth into American Psycho that people began to see him as a legit actor. Portman has yet to find her American Psycho, and this piece of garbage isn’t going to help. As cute as she is here, she is utterly wasted. She phones her performance in long-distance here. She has absolutely nothing to do. There is an AWFUL scene where she is trying to convince Magorium not to die, so what does she do? She unrolls some bubble wrap and laughs hysterically as he dances on it. This scene is so indicative of what she’s been doing her entire adult career: standing to the side, smiling her cute smile and praying to God that no one notices how overrated she’s become. It’s just bullshit. I like her, and I want to see her push her potential, not slum it up in crap like this. At the end of this film, she’s dancing around the store, waving her hands about like a lunatic, and rather than smile and feel charmed, I felt embarrassed for her. Hope the check cleared, sweetheart!”
