Mila Kunis and Natalie Portman ...



Our buddy Carson Reeves over at Scriptshadow has written a script review of "Black Swan," the supernatural ballet movie that Darren Aronofsky will hopefully be directing this fall with Natalie Portman and Mila Kunis in the lead roles.

The premise is simple: A ballerina competes against a rival dancer who may or may not be another version of herself.

But Carson, perhaps wisely, leads his review with this titillating little nugget which will probably have the Internet all a Twitter momentarily.

Can I just tell you why none of my review matters? Can I just tell you why my review is absolutely pointless? Because in this movie, Natalie Portman and Mila Kunis have sex. Yeah. You read that right. And not just nice sweet innocent sex either. We're talking ecstasy-induced hungry aggressive angry sex. Yeah so...this movie is already on the must-see list of 2010. But how good is it? Does the story that surrounds the sex disappoint or excel?

So yeah, there's that. But what about the actual film, a project, he notes, Aronofsky originally tried to set up at Universal in 2007, but the studio turned around on. However, recently, thanks to the success of "The Wrestler," Portman evidently "twirled onto the project a couple of months ago and everything's been full steam ahead since."

Ok ... where do you find these GIFs? Srsly. I've been meaning to ask that for a long time.

I'm listening to your interview right now, laughing about your cock blocky talk. It is funny to hear that actually being spoken.

So .. when did the Rachel won't be bound theory start popping up?

Mostly I just grab them from threads at ohnotheydidn't (http://community.livejournal.com/ohnotheydidnt/) and ontd_twatlight (http://community.livejournal.com/ontd_twatlight/). Pretty much all of my .gifs have come from threads at those two sites.

lol! I had to control myself a lot during that interview not to go into full on Hollows-Rant mode ;) I didn't want to scare people off of the series if they hadn't started reading yet. And honestly, as much as the books DO frustrate me, I also really like them.

So .. when did the Rachel won't be bound theory start popping up?

I think it came out of a question someone asked Kim in her drama box maybe a month ago. She basically shrugged her shoulders and said she didn't know in the response, but I think the person who asked was dead on and that Rachel's demon blood is going to end up making her immune to being bound. In fact, hearing that makes me kind of excited that we might see a blood balance between Rachel and Ivy in the next book or the book after, and that the blood balance will then naturally lead to a more physical relationship.

You shouldn't have held back. The Hollows always deserves a full-on rant.

I don't remember the details much at the moment, but did the books mention that demons can't be bound way back? If so, then cock block knew it all and set us up for ranting, because she plans everything deliberately.

I just didn't want to scare potential new fans off ... or sound like a crazy person, lol.

I think that it was mentioned in the last book, WWBC.

But yeah, I totally think that Cock Block has a really good idea where everything is going. Things always change as you write, but I think she's definitely building towards a Rachel/Ivy ending, and has slowly been paving the way for that since the first book.

She just doesn't want to confirm anything.

I'm honestly beginning to think this woman is some kind of evil genius, lol. As much as I'm dreading Rachel/Pierce and Ivy/Glenn in the next book, I really want to know what incredibly gay things she has in store for Rachel and Ivy and their relationship.

It's funny how she manages to make all Ravy interactions incredibly gay while pretending to have cockblocky beards as primary love interests. My initial reading of Book 7 was that it was definitely Ravy minded, and I was satisfied about that. And then all hell seemed to break loose in the fandom when KH went on about Pierce and Glenn. That's the reason I stopped following the Drama Box. I'm not going to let her play her mind fuck games while waiting for the next hollows book.

Ivy/Glenn
lol, I had already completely forgotten that tidbit, and was "wait, what?" Just shows how interesting their relationship is.

That sounds awesome. Incredibly gay things for Rachel and Ivy. Thumbs up *grin*

I wonder if Kim will go the route of some fanfic authors, where there will be so much gay that it will be absolutely hilarious, but Rachel will still think she's completely, 100%, straight.

Oh, I know. Ivy/Glenn is so stupid. Nobody thinks that's going to work. Ivy is too obviously in love with Rachel for another romantic interest to stand a chance. As long as Ivy is in that church, living and working with Rachel, and being utterly in love with her, there's no point in putting a romantic interest on the scene for her because it's clearly useless.

I wonder if Kim will go the route of some fanfic authors, where there will be so much gay that it will be absolutely hilarious, but Rachel will still think she's completely, 100%, straight.

You know what, I feel like she's already reached this level.

I just can't take Rachel's other romantic interests seriously, and Ivy/Glenn is just mind-blowingly cock-blocky. I feel if you looked cock-block up in the dictionary, a picture of Ivy/Glenn should be there.

It's just that at this point, Rachel has already proven herself to be really, really, really gay for Ivy. I mean there is really nothing ambiguous about it, and so her denials of an attraction and her unwillingness to at least TRY a relationship are so ridiculous that you have to laugh or cry about it.

Lots of other shit has been going on in their lives for a long time now, but with book 7 gone, I really feel like we're at a point in the series where Rachel needs to just deal with that shit. She clearly has feelings for Ivy, and now it's just really, really annoying that she's still in denial. Why? She's not homophobic, her friends aren't, her mother isn't, Ivy is head over heels, self-sacrificingly in love with her ... so why does she still deny it? I don't get why she does anymore. In the beginning she was uncertain and confused, but now Rachel's just being a stubborn douche about the whole thing.

Honestly, it really bugs me that Rachel would give a ghost trapped in the body of one of the most annoying people ever who she's know for like a month a chance, before she would give Ivy a chance.

This Rachel-candy, purposefully making bad decisions, turning a blind eye, thing that Rachel has going on is really a form of character assassination. Rachel's a character who I liked a lot in the beginning, but the more that she pulls these shenanigans the more I dislike her.

She's that friend that you have that is constantly in emotional crisis and pulling you into their messy lives because they thrive on drama and constantly need their life to be in crisis. Friends like that are annoying as hell, and Rachel is becoming annoying as hell too.

This is what Rachel would say: "I don't deny anything, I'm sorry but I'm straight. I don't find anything interesting in women, they do nothing for me. Men are amazing."

And she would completely believe that, and it would be true.

But she would still be completely lost on why she never really loved anyone, until Ivy came along and can't shake the feeling of wanting to kiss her all the damn time.

I think that's Rachel. I wonder though why she doesn't even give it a shot. All it takes is a little bit of courage.

Heh. I totally got you ranting again on Hollows. Mission accomplished.

lol, it's better here.

But yeah, you get me on the topic of the Hollows and you will get a rant (though admittedly these days they are much less bitter and rage-filled than they were a few months ago).
