Because I remember you saying you were beginning to dislike her because of the Natalie Portman thread.
And seriously, threads like these as well as some of your posts seem to be against things you don't like. You try and play up the I'm innocent act and I'm just posting a thread or an opinion but it does seem like a blatant dig.

Going by the official website rundown of the plot, I don't have a ton of confidence in this being particularly good. Potential perhaps, but it strikes me as another one of those movies where "wacky characters" with unusual names and "quirkiness" fill in as a thin veil for the projects mediocrity, lack of wit and incohesiveness. Garden State was the most horrifyingly awful example of this trend in independant film, and Natalie has a couple of other projects coming out where the sypnosis(ees?) give somewhat of that indication, particularly that one called "My Blueberry Nights" or something. It's also another "Jude Law Vehicle" which is another strike against it. Anyway, the director of Johnny Postal doesn't have a confidence building resume either. Crew work that he uses to mislead people with about "working with Robert Deniro" etc, when he apparently did uncredited work on Deniro's worst movie ever, Godsend.
Here's the sypnosis, via http://www.johnnypostalthemovie.com/synopsis.html
JOHNNY POSTAL is a dark romantic comedy that deals with the loss of identity, the rediscovery of ones self and the courage to walk through the fears that are designed to hold us down.
JOHNNY RIO, mid twenties, grew in an abusive household, which eventually took a devastating toll on his life. Feeling totally despondent and useless for the years that followed, he withdrew deep into the darkness of his own subconscious, the last line of defense the brain offers before reaching the breaking point of insanity.
As he grows older with no ambition or interests in life, he meets SOAPBOX, mid fifties, handy man at a low class trailer park in the Pine Barrens of New Jersey. Soapbox, known for his constant pontificating, becomes Johnnys mentor, philosopher and best friend. He preaches to Johnny day and night about how important it is to contribute to society and expect nothing in return for ones work. It is on Soapboxs deathbed that he finally realizes that it is time for him to take that one giant step forward.
He leaves the trailer park and heads north to Asbury Park, New Jersey, Soapboxs place of birth. Shortly after his arrival, he meets RANDA LEIGH, a young prostitute dealing with her own painful background who withdraws into the character of Holly Golightly from the movie BREAKFAST AT TIFFANYS every time she has to face a customer.
Randa and Johnny quickly fall in love and take the audience on a wonderful, peculiar journey of self-exploration, the stripping off of invented armor and the discovery of ones soul mate.
