Hot by Proxy

This commentary may be a bit dated, but I thought better late than never. I think I've figured out why many people find Natalie Portman (star of the recent Star Wars fiascos) to be attractive. It's a case of something I like to call, "hot by proxy". Stick her in a movie with other females; she's fairly average looking. But put her in the movie with the likes of Jar Jar Binks, Hayden Christensen, Yoda, and a gay robot, then all of a sudden she’s "the hotness".
