So, you’ve probably already seen that Black Swan still in which Natalie Portman looks like Ace Frehley in a tutu. Well, a few more stills have surfaced, and now she looks like the unholy mating of Ace Frehley and Edward Cullen, thanks to those freaky amber-coloured contact lenses, which are the same hue as those of Stephenie Meyer’s vegetarian vampires in Twilight. So much for the “edgy” prima ballerina that Portman allegedly portrays in this movie, eh?
However, this sort of disappointment for such a pseudo-controversial Portman character is nothing new. Remember her “stripper” character in Closer? Even next to the steamy-as-hell Clive Owen, Portman couldn’t pull off a sexual vibe, according to Brian Prisco: “[I]nstead of the steamy Lolita finally ripened, she came off looking like that little pink haired girl from Nick Jr.”
The man has a point. Still, I don’t have anything against Natalie Portman (and even keep rooting for her even though she’s betrayed her early promise in Beautiful Girls), but I do think she’s moved into a career phase that would best be described as “vaguely overrated.” More Cullen-esque prima ballerina below:
