Who Would You Rather, Boleyn Girls Edition: Scarlett Johansson or Natalie Portman?

Posted by Emily Farris

 

This is the moment of truth, ladies and gentlemen: boobs or brains?

Scarlett Johansson and Natalie Portman star alongside each other as sisters vying for the affections of King Henry VIII in "The Other Boleyn Girl." And we know one of the actresses is known for her boobs, among her many talents, and the other is known for her brains, among her many talents. So, which Boleyn Girl would you rather? Scarlett Johansson or Natalie Portman?

Johansson. Ever since Ghost World, and no matter how much she seemingly sells out.

natalie for sure.that lady has everything!

Natalie

I'd say both (at the same time?) would be ideal but if forced to choose...Natalie. While less...physically endowed...she seems to be better mentally endows.

Scarlett.

Oh, Natalie, without hesitation.

natalie because i can't stand the thought of having to lay beside scarlett afterward and hear her speak. natalie has brains and sex appeal, scarlett just has sex appeal.

natalie.

in this movie, natalie -- i tend to find scarlett in costumey period pieces a little disconcerting -- but i think that scarlett's got the hotter ouevre overall. (i can't count "the professional" here, that makes me feel toooooo dirty.)

and hey -- are people here thinking scarlett's dumb or just not as smart as natalie? i'd say scarlett's just not an ivy leaguer, and remind everyone that portman dated moby for a while, so there.

Natalie is about a close to perfect as a celebrity can come.

Scarlett, hands down.  Natalie may be smart (and I dig brains), but she's so annoying in everything that she does.

i'm a girl, can i play?

both.

Good point Bryan Christian. And who says that Natalie Portman is necessarily that smart? Universities are businesses. I feel like a lot of celebrities get accepted to ivy league schools for the publicity and the presumption that they're probably going to pay full tuition out of pocket. Kind of like rich kids getting in. Kind of like George Bush getting into Yale.

unfair!

oh man.  oh man oh man oh mannn.  This is the hardest ever.  

Natalie.  I'm so sorry Scarlett.  :(

I never said that one was smarter than the other, I just said that one is known for her brains and the other is known for her boobs. Among both of their many other talents. So there.

Both played needy lovers (Natalie in Closer and Scarlett in that movie with Jonathon Rhys whatshisass) but Natalie made it sexy.  Natalie has brains but her real draw is her stare. Portman hands down.

melsean said:

such a superficial question. who would I rather? ... Scarlett has so much more to offer in the sack, so much more of her in which to lose myself sensually. But maybe Natalie makes-up for it with imagination or other talents ...  How 'bout once each and then let me decide :-)

Hey, throw Natalie in that pink wig she was wearing in Closer, and I'd happily become a lesbian!

Scarlett.  She may not be as smart as Natalie, but she's not nearly as annoying.  

February 27, 2008 1:25 PM

Brian Fairbanks said:

Forget Natalie's beauty and intelligence, it's about who do you want to fuck?!

I can't imagine anyone seeing both of them naked, side by side, and not jumping on Scarlett first.

dgilman said:

I feel oddly cool towards both of them in general, although they each have their merits.  Acting talent is a wash, I think; Natalie strikes me as the superior actress, but somehow she keeps appearing in dumb movies compared to Scarlett's work.  This is totally arbitrary, but based on the photo above, the dumb/smart thing tilts heavily in Natalie's favor.  She may not be stacked like Scarlett, but she'll know waaay more interesting things to do than lie there and think of England.

Plus, Scarlett is doing this stupid Tom Waits cover project.  Good Waits covers are few and far between; recording an album of them is just asking for scorn.

Natalie for the win!

spoongirl said:

wait. i'm confused. cuz just because scarlett started doing (admittedly vapid looking) louis vitton ads doesn't make her dumb. she's actually pretty damn smart, every bit as much as natalie. you don't get to be wood allen's musr if you're an idiot.

February 27, 2008 2:13 PM

sevoyeur said:

Definitely Natalie

Yes.

Both.  In Canada.  In a car.

Ulises said:

I don't understand why you people talk about natalie as she were the next nobel prize in literature... I would do her simply because I'm not into blondes nor into boobs. I like brunnettes and asses yet; I would look for a third choice soon.

Scarlett.  I find Portman to irritating for words.

Oh, sure, really mess up the fantasy realm. Kate Winslet and Rachel Weisz!!!
