Posted: 9/3/04 at 10:22pmNatalie Portman. I've never understood the appeal of Scarlett Johansson...she just strikes me as passive aggressive. Portman is not my idea of a great actress, but I am anxious to see what she will do with CLOSER...I have a feeling there might be untapped resources there.

It's an opinion. Impossible is not a declaration. It's a dare. Impossible is potential. Impossible is temporary. Impossible is nothing.”

Posted: 9/3/04 at 10:24pmI think Portman showed potential as a real powerhouse in her small part in COLD MOUNTAIN, a part I was hoping she would get an Oscar nod for.

Posted: 9/3/04 at 10:27pmNatalie. Something about Scarlett bugs me. And Natalie was in Star Wars and I am a closet Star Wars nut.

Posted: 9/3/04 at 10:27pmDEFINITELY natalie portman... i dont see the appeal of scarlett either... natalie's pretty hot and she does have great potential... here's hoping she takes great roles in the future that will show what she started to show in cold mountain...

Is it really fair to compare the two, though? Natalie Portman is more "established" than Scarlett Johansson, and has been showing greater and greater potential since she burst onto the scene. Whereas Scarlett has only just begun...
Having said that, I'd prefer Natalie, though I found Scarlett's role in "Lost in Translation" to have been nuanced and beautifully subtle (and was shocked that she wasn't Oscar nominated)...

Posted: 9/3/04 at 10:45pmSomehow Scarlett comes off as an American version of eurotrash, if that makes any sense. Sort of a Paris Hilton-type without anything to justify it. And I thought Lost In Translation was way overrated. (The first 45 minutes were good, but then...*zzzz*)

When did the Horse Whisperer come out?
Scarlett began LONG ago.
I'm with Natalie, by the way.
#17re: Scarlett Johansson or Natalie Portman
Posted: 9/3/04 at 10:51pmI love Scarlett, especially in GHOST WORLD (love that movie). Natalie Portman is good but can also get annoying with her acting. I don't know. I do want to see GARDEN STATE though.

Garden State is on my must see list too. I think that Zach Braff may be the next big thing. We'll see.
Oh, BTW - Natalie all the way. Although I want to see her do some new stuff.

ouch!
I always find Natalie portman a boring actress.
I prefer much more Scarlett. Natalie Portman never is going to do something like "lost in translation", and as amidala... is HORRIBLE!
