Hey, guess what downtrodden people of America–there’s a bright side to the recession. At least according to super pretty starlet, Natalie Portman, who is totally qualified to comment on such things because she went to Harvard or something.
The actress recently said:
"I think it’s kind of an exciting time. I mean, everyone is cutting back. It’s happening in every industry–including our own. All of a sudden, people are doing jobs that they hate and they’re not making as much money as they thought they would or they’ve lost their jobs entirely. I’ve started to see people looking more toward their own passions and what really excites them."
Speak for yourself, Natalie–while you may be busy getting busy with Mila Kunis (talk about passion), the majority of my journalism school classmates are busy proofreading high school history textbooks whilst sleeping on Mom and Dad’s couch. The only thing the funemployment crowd is passionate about is that bottle of vodka over there and the blissful obliteration of consciousness that it represents.

Oh please. You went to journalism school? I guess we know why you’re here, then.
Portman’s not “happy” people are poor. She thinks something good can come out of people being forced to re-evaluate things. I am one of millions of people who had to take

I don’t see the point in the media asking uber-rich celebrities about this sort of thing, no metter what they say it’s designed to make them look like condescending, out-of-touch douche-bags.

Portman is pretty close to being the most delusional character on the planet.
Sorry babe. I’m too busy struggling to pay the fucking utility bills and keep myself fed than to look to my own passions.
Right now, my only passion is not becoming homeless.

Natalie is a little out of touch. However, I kind of know what she means. I live in Venice, CA and most of the unemployed people that I know are using this opportunity to pursue some of their passions. However, they are still anxiously struggling to pa

Though I like her sentiment about how people need to look toward their passions, I don’t think she quite ‘gets it.’

Exactly. While people are more “free” to pursue their dreams–ie, no pesky job to hold them back from finally booking a gig with their ironic polka band–they’re also less free to look for jobs that they really want/enjoy (ie, they’re fucking broke). I ju

The first place I read those interview sniplets was missing this part.
Generally what I appreciate a lot regarding Natalie is the fact that she she does seem to really think and care about things, but takes the world lightly, and is more likely to ta

Natalie is cordially invited to look toward my passion. I’m too busy.
