The Search is Over!

And the winner is (drumroll please)…

Natalie Portman!

You all know I’ve been desperately seeking a girly crush, and this weekend, it finally came together. Natalie Portman rocked my world.

I’ve always liked Natalie – she was great in every movie I’ve seen her in, and has always been a cutie. Then, a month or two ago, I saw her appearance on Inside the Actor’s Studio and the movie Garden State within a week of each other. I remember thinking, “This girl is really freakin’ cool.” But, although I thought she was beautiful, she didn’t strike me as HOT at the time, so I went on my merry way. But then, everything changed.

I saw Closer. And she was hot.

HOT!

And so, I now need to stalk her. I checked out IMDB to get a list of all the movies she’s been in, and I have a lot of catching up to do:

  1. The Professional – Great Movie. I don’t have a crush on her in this though, because she’s way too little to think about that way.
  2. Developing – Had never even heard of this. Need to find it ASAP.
  3. Heat – Fabulous. Still too young to be lusted after, but…
  4. Beautiful Girls – Definitely one of the best movies ever. I haven’t seen it in a while, so I’ll be renting it soon. I think of this as her break-out role, when she starts to turn from little girl to young adult.
  5. Everyone Says I Love You! – I love Woody Allen movies, and this one I saw in the theater. Great movie, and a great Natalie.
  6. Mars Attacks! – Hilarious. That’s all I have to say about that.
  7. Star Wars: Episode I – The Phantom Menace – Haven’t seen it. I had NO desire to see any of the Star Wars prequels until this crush developed. Now, I must watch them.
  8. Anywhere But Here – I think I saw part of this once… now I guess I have to see the whole thing?
  9. Where the Heart Is – Oh wait. Maybe this is the one I saw part of? Not sure… I guess I’ll have to see it too.
  10. Star Wars: Episode II – Attack of the Clones – Again with the Star Wars! I’ll rent this at the same time I rent Episode I.
  11. Cold Mountain – She was in this? Sigh. I guess I’ll rent it. And buy 5 boxes of Kleenex for the sob-fest that I’m sure will ensue.
  12. Garden State – Awesome movie. Awesome. And it’s the film that made me think she was cool and original.
  13. True – Apparently a short film that is now part of PARIS, JE T’AIME, which is coming out at some point this year. I’ll see it.
  14. Closer – HOT! The movie was only okay, but I think all of the actors were good. Especially Natalie.
  15. Domino One – Some artsy Harvard thriller movie. Looks like I’ll have to wait for the rental.
  16. Star Wars: Episode III – Revenge of the Sith – I’ll wait for the rental, probably. I don’t really want to support Lucas that much.

So, I can now rest easy. I don’t think I need to worry about Natalie turning skanky or trashy (like my last crush), and think she’ll only get better with age. Yeah.

And I’ll leave you with this:

    Natalie is a great crush. If she weren’t so young, I’d have a crush on her too!

    I had a friend at Harvad who danced with. He said she had a “squaty body” and “short arms”. But hey I’m on your side!

    [...] In other movie related news, I just saw “V for Vendetta” and LOVED it.  Perhaps I’m biased, since I love Natalie… but either way, check out my review on The Better Drink! Anna @ 11:39 am [filed under Random Ramblings] [...]
