Ronald commented on Win A DVD Of The Psychological Thriller 'Side Effects':
“The Silence of the Lambs (1991)! Hannibal Lecter (Anthony Hopkins) and Jodi Foster (Clarice Starling) = great on screen chemistry! And in my opinion, The Silence of the Lambs has to be one of the very best psychological thrillers ever produced! It's my favorite! And this was the film that brought Hannibal Lecter into the mainstream and helped spawn the follow-up films, and I'm sure, must have inspired the new TV series Hannibal!”
Stare At Naked Jennifer Lawrence As 'X-Men's Mystique
I don't care what you're doing, I don't care how NSFW the title of this article sounds: it's an article with Jennifer Lawrence in it, so you should be here regardless, and with the fact that the words "naked" and "X-Men" are involved, I'm not sure why the entirety of the internet aren't viewing this article all at the exact same time. X-Men: Days of Future Past director Bryan Singer tweeted a shot of JLaw on set and the internet should be collectively foaming at the mouth.
Though Rebecca Romijn is known for making the legendary role of Mystique famous, Jennifer Lawrence stepped into the infamous nude blue suit for 2011's X-Men: First Class, and will reprise the role—now that, you know, the Hunger Games lead is bigger than she's ever be...
We still have two weeks until One Tree Hill officially returns for the last half of its eighth and most likely final season. And I gotta say, the show is actually better than it's been in years. It's still beating network favorite Gossip Girl in ratings and fans are more turned in then ever.
But, I gotta point something out. If you're a Tree Hill fan, then you undoubtedly noticed it, but the show has a tendency to feature a major car accident EVERY SEASON. Well, except season 7. But still. Seriously, every main character has gotten into a major car accident and nearly died. Every single one.
Let's recap, shall we?
Lucas
Lucas lands in a coma after his inebriated uncle turns at a red light in season 1. His real father, Dan, is forced to save him and despite a hurt shoulder, surgery and going into a coma, he's fine. Miraculous!
Nathan
Nathan, like his brother, slipped into a coma due to a car crash. He intentionally drives a race car off the road in season 2. Not only that, but he also inadvertently causes two other car crashes – one that makes Rachel and his Uncle Cooper drive off a bridge (season 3) and one that injures his pregnant wife (season 4). Way to go, Nate. Oh, and he crashes Peyton's car in season 1 while he's driving drunk.
Peyton
Peyton's adopted mother died when she ran a red light and Peyton tempted fate a few times in season 1. Aside from the psycho stalker who tried to kill her, getting shot in the leg by a school shooter and the near-fatal birth of her daughter, Peyton gets into a huge car accident in season 6 while pregnant. Surprise! She survives.
Haley
A pregnant Haley winds up in the hospital after getting hit by a car in season 4. The car that hit her was driven by a loan shark that her hubby Nathan got entangled with. She breaks her foot and spends the next few episodes on crutches, but all in all, she and the baby are fine.
Brooke
(accident around 3:02 mark)
For the most part, Brooke's escaped all the near-death experiences. Other than getting attacked in her store and having a little run-in with Quentin's killer, she's managed to stay...very much alive. She wasn't in the school shooting and she missed all the car accidents. That is, until this season. In the last aired episode, she tries to help Jamie and his friends out of an overturned car and almost dies herself when another car rams into it.
Dan
(accident around 2:28 mark)
A road-raged Nanny Carrie (another recycled plot line a la Psycho Derek) rams into Dan while he waits for his new heart in season 5. She later tortures him and he ends up killing her. And let's not forget Dan almost died in a fire, in prison and from a bad heart. All close calls.
So here's a little recap:
# of car accidents: 7 (at very least)
# of main character deaths due to those car accidents: 0
These are just the car accidents. I didn't even really get into the other death-ridden plot lines. Karen almost dies during pregnancy complications, Keith does die after Dan shoots him, Deb nearly overdoses on pills, Quinn and Clay get shot by Katy, Lucas has heart failure from his HCM, Rachel and Cooper almost drown, Quentin gets shot by Brooke's attacker, Peyton gets shot in the school shooting.
Actually, that's a sh*t load of shootings too. I could probably go on.
Moral of the story? We don't even care. No fan really does. It doesn't make us hate the show. Neither does the fact that every main character is famous (Peyton a record producer, Lucas a novelist, Brooke a fashion designer, Nathan an NBA star, Haley a musician etc). These are just things we learn to love about One Tree Hill, despite our forced suspension of disbelief.
One request though: Please kill off Mouth in a very dramatic (and appropriately annoying) car crash -- preferably by a car driven by the ghost of Jimmy Edwards or something equally ridiculous. I hate him. Thanks.
What do you think of the show's affinity for near-death experiences? Who's next?
