Black Swan is already funny. It’s got Bad Movie We Love written all over its bloody plumage. And yet, it gets funnier once you break down the special effects scene-by-scene and learn how the glittery swan sausage is made. Ahead, learn the mechanics behind Darren Aranofksy’s cygnus opus, including the Muppet Workshop antics that helped illustrate Natalie Portman’s more grotesque moments. Just like Tchaikovsky wanted.

Forget Armond White ; when it comes to curmudgeonly New York film critics, no one can top Rex Reed. He’s the O.G. of vitriol, snark and just plain nastiness. “After a string of flops, the lovely, accomplished and underappreciated Natalie Portman achieved something of a career breakthrough in the pretentious horror flick Black Swan ,” Reed writes in his review of No Strings Attached . “Now, before the impact has worn off, and on the verge of an Oscar nomination, she crumbles like a mildewed crumpet. Short of breaking into the editing lab and destroying the negative, she should have done everything legally possible to stop the ill-timed release of a vulgar, stupid pile of junk called No Strings Attached . This movie could destroy everything.” Looks like someone didn’t hear that the Norbit thing was over . [ NYO ]

As alluded to in this morning’s edition of The Broadsheet, everyone in Hollywood seems stunned by the success story that is Black Swan . Even filmmaker Darren Aronofsky says he can’t make heads or tails of the phenomenon, which has earned recognition everywhere from manic-comic Saturday Night Live segments to the supermarket-tabloid media obsessed with star Natalie Portman (now pregnant by and engaged to marry on-screen dance partner Benjamin Millipied). “I get the teenage-girl part of the audience because it’s a coming-of-age story about a girl becoming a woman. But older people are seeing it too,” he told the LA Times . “I don’t know if even I understand it.” Oh, Darren — don’t start being modest now : Let’s hear it for lesbians!

Leading the pack of nominated films are the historical biopic “The King’s Speech” and Darren Aronofsky’s ballerina thriller, “Black Swan.” “The King’s Speech” tops the list with 14 nods, including one for its lead actor, Colin Firth, who picked up a Golden Globe for the role of King George VI.
