Big Surprise....Lesbian Sex Sells

Natalie Portman was interviewed by Entertainment Weekly magazine and she discussed how they planned on getting men to see the ballet film, Black Swan: 

Everyone was so worried about who was going to see this movie. I remember being like, 'How do you get guys to a ballet movie? How do you get girls to a thriller? The answer is a lesbian scene. Everyone wants to see that.
