For those who like "The Word" - Natalie Portman

[tklr5150]

In the new flick Garden State (which, incidentally, is excellent), Natalie Portman's character has a piece of her childhood blanket which she has named "Tickle." Both she and Zach Braff say the words several times, with Natalie even uttering the line "Tickle is my favorite thing in the world."

No, it didn't lead to tickle as a verb, but if you light up when a cutie even utters those phonemes, it's a pretty nifty scene.

Thanks for this info! Yeah, I do light tup when I hear a pretty lady say "the word."

Looks like Natalie Portman is suddenly the subjcet of some tickle references. From the previews, it appears there's a tickle scene in her film coming out with Julie Roberts. Or is this the same movie?

no, her new movie with Julia Roberts is called "Closer"
