You can't resist Gravity forever

The saga of Gravity has slowly ebbed from intriguing to bizarre to DEAR GOD MAKE IT STOP. Aided by the fact that it's a slow time for movie news, the daily update of who is or is not interested in the Alfonso Cuaron project about a female astronaut stranded in space has become a staple of every blog and movie-rumor-mill. And, as always, it feels good to be a part of the problem and not the solution. The latest rumor is that should the delightful Natalie Portman pass on the $80 million sci-fi project anchored by a lady, the next choice is....
Fresh off of endearing herself to the world by winning an Oscar for a mediocre performance and by getting cheated on, the sassy lady has enough popularity to make the film less of a risk. I'm not sure if she has the talent to pull off the demanding role, but Cuaron is one of the few who may be capable of stripping Miss Next Door down to her bare emotions. Also, I know that there are a lot of people out there who are interested in seeing Sandra stripped down bare. I personally hope it's still Portman, because I am both selfish in that more of Natalie in everything should be a congressional mandate and because I think, you know, she's a way better actress. But I do think that for Sandra's career and the sake of this movie actually existing, this could be the team-up we see. I know this much: They are going to offer it to any living being in Hollywood who doesn't have a wee wee until someone takes it.
