Still gonna watch because Jennifer Lawrence.

I think actor/actress crushes are stupid. I honestly don't even really like Jennifer Lawrence! She's like a goddamn hypnotist, there is literally nothing about her that's that great in my opinion but I'll watch anything with her in it anyways.

That being said, I probably won't watch this till it hits the dvds. You see Edge of Tomorrow? I couldn't believe it was an adaption of All You Need Is Kill.

LeeLee Sobieski will always get my attention for A Soldier's Daughter Never Cries. Jennifer Lawrence will always get my attention for Winter's Bone.

Someone sent me a clip of Jennifer Lawrence on Jimmy Fallon playing Box of Lies and I fell in love a little bit. Seems extremely cool.

JTHipster, this was easily one of my favorite reviews you have done. I've not seen the movie yet but the way you've summarized the previous films is spot on. I have never left an X-Men film and thought about it for more than 5 minutes. This is likely a film I'll watch when it becomes available to "rent."

Oh man you're right though. I fucking loved Winter's Bone.

It's interesting to me that so many people are so in love with her. Everything she does just kinda rubs me the wrong way. Like she's always being borderline ignorant and always an okay actress. Maybe I'm crazy.

No, you're totally right, and the whole "she's just so down to earth" thing gets on my nerves too. And I hate the Hunger Games. And the Silver Linings Playbook was okay at best.

It doesn't make any sense.

This puts it better than I could. Thanks ref, I'll use this next time someone asks why I find Jennifer Lawrence to be off-putting in a weird way.

She's your Julianne Moore.

I wouldn't piss on Julianne Moore if she were on fire, and it's partially because she was such.a bitch in Fugitive and partially because a girl I didn't end up scoring with made me watch Safe.

I think it's more outside her roles though. The ~quirky~, fuck the standards girl that everyone loves that's beloved-ly naive, when in reality she just gets away with it because she's a cute white girl. I don't know.

I can totally get the hate for Julianne Moore though. Weirdly enough, however, she's one of my few Hollywood crushes.
