Hi Semi, jazzdrummer, fhw, all,

I concur. I guess I can't officially participate in Geek Week because I don't know what FOTR stands for.

But I sat through a showing of " . . Clones" and wondered how actresses like Natalie Portman get cast. She was terrible, but the material was lousy as well. Granted, she's very pretty, but I watched her embarass herself onstage, summer of '01, struggling through a live production of "The Seagull," directed by Mike Nichols, at the Delacorte Theater in Central Park. She was terrible, and she was surrounded by pros like Meryl Streep, Christopher Walken, John Goodman, Philip Hoffman, etc., which only made her ineptness more obvious.

Regards,
