“Among the new wide releases this week, Natalie Portman makes the very best of a limited role — as a miltary wife and mother to two small children — in Brothers…”

Yes, but does she have any girl-on-girl kissing scenes? >B)

She's never looked like a girl, so she's always played proper mature grown -ups, thank God. I think she looks fantastic.

I've been fat most of my life and I never noticed a subculture. I just hung out with other, thinner, more accepting people at Rocky Horror with my D&D buddies. A subculture would need its own music, and I can only think of one song about being fat, and its only literature, and I can only think of one book specifically about a fat person. And Sci Fi Wire is a thinly disguised advertising arm of SyFy; any actual news is incidental, however welcome. Fat has a subculture? I’ve been fat most of my life and I never noticed a subculture.

If you find it anything other than titillating, then by definition you're not in the demographic they care about: mindless perpetual adolescent boys who will sit passively in front of anything that has "sci-fi" on the label and the promise (usually broken) of tits. Always remember that in commercial television the audience is the product; the purchaser is the advertiser. Well, of course SyFy would say that.

Thanks for saying this. I notice this all the time and it's so nice to know that other people think about this stuff besides myself. “the story is, as most movies aimed at the mainstream are, all about a man’s road to change, with women in supporting roles that foster that growth.”

Shouldn't we boycott Natalie Portman considering she reportedly signed the Free Roman Polanski petition? “among the new wide releases this week, Natalie Portman makes the very best of a limited role…”
