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...

“That is a hard question. There are so many great movies. I would say Silence of the Lambs. Dr. Hanibal Lecter is one of the scariest thriller characters. A great performance by both Jodie Foster and Anthony Hopkins.”

It$ Britney, B*t commented on Win A DVD Of The Psychological Thriller 'Side Effects':
“Is this even a fair question? Favorite psychological thrillers? There are so many! but I suppose if I had to narrow it down to three they'd be Identity, The Sixth Sense (Kind of cliché?), and Shutter Island. Identity is my absolute favorite because of how the movie is split between two realities that you think at first are directly related to each other somehow, until you find out that one isn't a reality at all. I just think that movie makes psychological thrillers because you actually were inside this tortured and murderous man's head; watching how he has coped with his life and redirected all the traumatic events that happened to him into these people that seem so real. I was blown away by that movie and it's ending is one that has you slumped in your seat thinking about the things our minds are capable of. Also, the book was brilliant as well. Do I even really have to explain why I love The Sixth Sense? He was dead the whole time! Shutter Island was beautiful. Leo won an oscar in my heart for that movie. I was so convince by his character's genuine fear and confusion that I almost wanted to believe that it was all some kind of hoax to make him feel crazy. But what really got me was that last line "Which would be worse? To live as a monster, or die as a good man?" Says it all... I was speechless. Maybe any psychological thriller with Leo in it is one I also love? And for the record I also love, Fight Club, The Matrix, Donnie Darko,The Butterfly Effect and all those other classics. JS”

Janet commented on Win A DVD Of The Psychological Thriller 'Side Effects':
“My favorite is the classic Hitchcock, Psycho. I know it may be passé to choose this one, but even after the shower scene, the build up to the climax of the movie is one of the most tense, most "make you wonder" set of scenes in any movie I have seen since. I always compare all psychological thrillers and dramas to this movie and to how it made me feel when I watched it.”

HBO's 'Girls' Will Make Me Proud To Be One

The Ology Team .
01/07/2011
FilmOlogy

I think we can all agree that in the last few years television has bested film in terms of quality- if you disagree with me, go talk to The New York Times' A.O. Scott, and then go watch Mad Men, The Sopranos, or the dozens of other series that have revolutionized the hour-long format- but among these well-drawn, endearing antiheroes there's one particular demographic that hasn't been given a fair shake: twenty-something women.

Think about it. What do you think of when you think of twenty-something women on TV? Reality shows like The Hills or The City. Not exactly a brain trust. And sure, we've made appearances on the kind of shows I discussed in the previous paragraph, but we're the one-episode appearance. The one-night-stand Don Draper kicks out of bed. Hank Moody's latest co-ed conquest on Californication. On these shows we're there to frame the hero as a complicated, interesting soul for as long as he'll have us, remind him that he's mortal, cause him to long for some past or future love who was more age-appropriate and not just a "silly young girl," and then we disappear into the abyss, presumably to do silly young girl things.

Here's hoping those characters have wandered into Girls, a forthcoming HBO series by 24-year-old Lena Dunham, the writer/director of this year's fantastic post-college girl comedy Tiny Furniture. Produced by Judd Apatow, the show will follow "the assorted humiliations and rare triumphs of a group of girls in their early 20s" in New York. It will star Dunham, Jemima Kirke (above, who also appeared in Tiny Furniture) and Allison Williams.

I don't know about you guys, but I'm thrilled the demographic that most accurately sums up my life/heart/soul/vagina will at last be given a fair shake (and allowed a 3-dimensional character) on television in Girls. Who knows, maybe we'll even catch up with Don and Hank.
