Pride & Prejudice

i maintain that keira's best performance is still her appearance in "bend it like beckham".

If you're being serious I really agree.

Keira Knightley was amazing in P&P. I was slapped by her onscreen spice, but.... oddly enough, Jules in "Bend it like Beckham" is still my favorite character.

I don't know if that's good news or bad news for her as a performer.

i was serious.

i also think that she and her american "twin", natalie portman, are usually really awful. i wanted to leave the theatre every time that keira started talking in "pirates of the caribbean" and "king arthur".

Hehe, "twin". Keira K. is def not the sharpest knife in the kitchen yet. I like her, though.

Natalie P. is a tougher one to sell because she can be so good, then so transparent (in the same movie). Also, there's a certain arrogance to her I don't like because her acting doesn't allow her such luxury. Not right now.

Anyway..

(keira played natalie's decoy in "star wars: episode i". they were both stiff and crappy.)

Yup. Then again, it's Star Wars. Acting it's not its strongest point.
