Dreams & False Alarms

1. The Natalie Portman-Mila Kunis thing is a point barely worth making, so all I’ll say is: how distinctly unfortunate for Mila, in this case, that her movie is coming out after Natalie’s.

2. The point has been made that Natalie Portman is “sleeping her way through the cast of That 70s Show”. The other obvious fact tucked inside that information is that Ashton Kutcher and Mila Kunis were longtime co-stars (and a couple!) on That 70s Show. Now, they are opposite halves of a romantic pairing in movies that are the same, but not.  

3, No Strings Attached (the Ashton Kutcher one) is also the name of an *NSYNC album.

4. Which brings me to Justin. Justin! Remember when he got Punk’d by Ashton Kutcher in 2002? And then did a sketch about Ashton and Punk’d on SNL in 2003? And how then, bafflingly, the feud was still alive in as late as 2008 when they fought over who really started the trucker hat trend?

I’m actually incapable of believing that this is just a zany stacking up of coincidences, or your run of the mill six degrees of separation. I am convinced that somewhere in Hollywood, there exists the most clever, strings-pulling person in the world, who, coincidentally, also happens to be my future best friend.
