(v.) to render something that was long enjoyable completely unpleasureable. For example, Star Wars or the Shins. The term came into use in reference to the stylings of one Natalie Portman, a terrible actress that wiped her ass with the Legacy of Star Wars and ruined the Shins by offering their music up as a lifechanging experience in the film "Garden State."

Natalie Portman

Appallingly bad wedge-faced actress, career sustained by membership of the Tribe and fanatical crypto-paedophilic fanbase.

Having said that, I had all sorts of filthy ideas watching 'Leon'.

'V for Vendetta' is one of the worst films ever made, in large part thanks to her lack of talent, though to be fair the script, direction and premise fucked it from the off.

Haven't seen 'Closer', don't plan to.
I'd give Natalie Portman one between the jewbs, nan, but I'd be doing her a fucking favour.

Back when I lived in upstate new york 

A meaningless, unimpressive, self-serving introduction. An indicator that the story about to be shared will be pointless and dumb.
Back when I lived in upstate new york, I also had to park on the street - on two occasions, we got enough snow, mixed with just the right plowing, that my car was lifted off the ground from so much snow being jammed underneath it.

Sister: This meeting was to discuss the rough draft of my essay, where we discussed the subsidiary questions I added in my rough draft. We also discussed the relationship between my main title and the real-life situations I chose to use in my essay. We discussed the structure of my essay as well, specifically the Math AOK section and how it relates to the contradiction of the title. This second meeting was particularly helpful in discussing the implications of my essay claims and how to apply the title across various areas of knowledge. There were many sections of the essay that could have been cut down in wordiness and the ways of knowing required further and more in-depth analysis.
