Today marks the opening of the Ontario College of Art and Design’s Professional Gallery and sparks the art college’s new residency program with international art star and OCAD alumnus, Rirkrit Tiravanija. The son of Thai diplomats, now based equally in New York, Berlin, and Bangkok, Tiravanija epitomizes the “Nomadic Resident” the series aims to represent.

Natalie Portman may be twenty-three, but this still from Friday's flickpick makes her look like kid sister to tall, rakish Jude. And to add another layer of implausibility to the mix, Portman plays an exotic dancer. Be afraid. Be very afraid. We wish Natalie would just get into her Prius and drive away from all this nude scene nonsense. Maybe someone could work up a nice period piece for her. It would suit her stilted acting perfectly. Oh, but what are we doing? TOist is here to provide you a cheerful, lighthearted synopsis of a movie we've not even seen, and already we're prematurely harshing on Ms. Portman. How gauche of us.
