Time for your favourite *cough* feature of the site – Merchandise Monday. Last week was the first week that there was decent activity and its HUGELY appreciated. Those who have helped, thanks for keeping us in mind and supporting the site.
It seems Closer, the play, is getting the cobwebs brushed off and is coming back to the stage. In this reporting of the news from the Dallas Observer, they say the following about Natalie:
Natalie Portman is smart. You gotta give her that. She went to Harvard, got straight A’s, etc. But sometimes that chick confuses me. For instance, in the movie Closer (2004), she played a petite stripper who, get this, didn’t strip. No nudity whatsoever. But then in Wes Anderson’s 2007 short film Hotel Chevalier, in which Portman played a petite girl in a hotel room, she did strip. Nudity was everywhere. Where’s the logic in that? I guess even a bona fide Harvard education doesn’t help much in conundrums involving nudity.
This is a complaint that comes up every now and then and it drives me nuts every time. Playing a stripper that doesn’t strip would admittedly be pretty ridiculous, but I don’t know what version other people are watching because on my DVD the character DOES strip for Clive. What people really mean is that WE don’t get to see “the goods” and if you feel that way, fine, but then just say that.

I really shouldn’t have taken this long to get to May. My apologies.
Here are the previous months.
Those of you who do attend the ‘A Powerful Noise’ event tonight, please email me your experiences. If you don’t want them shared on the site, just mention that in the letter.
I couldn’t be further away from a participating theatre, so I can only imagine what attending the event would be like…
16:04 – Dazza calls Rachel and asks if she would like to go on a date. She says “I would love to.”
16:05 – Rachel explains that she was answering a hypothetical question and that if Dazza was specifically asking her out on the date, the answer would be “I would not love to.”
16:06 – Dazza complains about sliced onions and hangs up.
16:10 – Dazza calls Rachel again and tells her that she will have to attend A Powerful Noise with Dazza…for work, of course.

...Rachel! Have a great day Rach (but still do the work I need from you, let's not get crazy about this whole birthday nonsense) and here's hoping Hugh pays you…
The Frisky has a cute graphic up of Natalie surrounded by a wheel of good look guys she's rumoured to have dated. Without getting Clone about it, I think its…
I have a soft spot for lists and an even softer spot for film so even though Natalie doesn’t get a mention (The Other Boleyn Girl was decent but not really near a favourite, nor was it close to being amongst the dreck I saw in the past year) I’m gonna post my 2008 films lists here.
