She's freaking hilarious during interviews. Here's a quick 20 second vid of her messing with one of her co stars during an interview. http://youtu.be/ybC4OZnxPGg

[–]thereandwhereagain 21 points22 points ago

His reaction there is absolutely hysterical.

'Yeah, yeah, it's good... realisation... a-ha. a-ha-ha. She's crazy.'

[–]ac_jinx 1 point2 points ago

A little prank from Jen like that on Josh's part, is a helluva lot better than receiving a kick to the head resulting in a concussion. True story.

[–]ThinksOPisAFag 36 points37 points ago

I just watched an hour of her interviews. I think I have a new celebrity crush FUCK YOU OP, FIRST RACHEL BILSON, THEN RACHEL MCADDAMS, AND NOW JENNIFER LAWRENCE? YOU'RE MESSING EVERYTHING UP! WE NEED MORE RACHELS!

[–]d3lt3x 8 points9 points ago*

have you tried Ellen PaigePage? she's great at interviews and juggles.

Edit: i'm and Idiot Fixing her name

[–]tomswartz07 2 points3 points ago

And was also hilarious in Trailer Park Boys

[–]creepig[!] 0 points1 point ago

And scary in Hard Candy.

[–]clickx 10 points11 points ago

Too many Rachel's on your list my friend. I swear I read Rachel Maddow.

[–]ProudestMoments 17 points18 points ago

In fairness, Rachel Maddow is adorable.

[–]bendu 1 point2 points ago

[–]Mollrow -1 points0 points ago

Indeed.

EDIT: I just thought of how cute it would be to have a cat with Maddow's head :D

[–]ac_jinx 2 points3 points ago

I was the same way. Sure I saw Winter's Bone, and The Beaver and of course The Hunger Games, but it wasn't until I saw her interview did I really go, "holy crap, who is this chick, I must see more!" There is just somethin' about that girl. lol Makes me laugh every time.

[–]ThinksOPisAFag 1 point2 points ago

in the movie, she's gourgous and holds a lot of presence. In the interveiws, she's easy going, and has a great sense of humor, and clearly is no where near hot-headed and self centered.

[–]asherbookman 0 points1 point ago

I thought Winter's bone was excellent... What did you think?

[–]ac_jinx 0 points1 point ago

Solid story, great acting all around, and a wonderfully dark turn at the end. I enjoyed how "real" the film felt. You don't see the down and gritty anymore in films. Now have you seen The Poker House ?

[–]asherbookman 0 points1 point ago

I haven't seen it! Just put it in my instant queue. Thanks for the recommendation!

[–]ac_jinx 0 points1 point ago

Be prepared for a tough movie. Sure the story is alright, but her character is amazing.

[–]Parnass 2 points3 points ago

ok she is the most awesome celebrity I have ever seen. really really cool chick!

[–]clarient 1 point2 points ago

Oh jeez. Josh Hutcherson. I didn't care for him as a blonde in the movie but seeing him in this video, damn. WANT.

[–]SamueleumaS 63 points64 points ago

Jennifer Lawrence, at least as far as I can tell in interviews and such, is ridiculously cool. It's really not even fair; that people can be that good looking, intelligent, funny, ect. Just not fair at all.

If there was a satan, and we did have souls, I would sell that shit in a second to him if Jen Lawrence was part of the deal.

[–]jamsm 9 points10 points ago

I feel the same way about Emma Stone. Saw her recently at Wondercon and she was awesome!

[–]TareXmd 9 points10 points ago

Emma Stone and Jennifer Lawrence are the same breed of "confident/smart/gorgeous".

[–]Warchief_Chieften 1 point2 points ago

I couldn't agree with you more. She is my new celebrity crush. Let's hope the fame from The Hunger Games doesn't ruin her.

[–]ac_jinx 0 points1 point ago

From what I have seen, she is doing pretty well considering all of the attention. Really keeping everything real. The only thing really that might change, is she mentioned that she would probably move out of Santa Monica to a big house, with a big fence, her big dogs and a big shot gun. HA.

[–]Warchief_Chieften 3 points4 points ago

Well the closest I'll get to that house is in a lucid dream...

[–]SamueleumaS 0 points1 point ago

You and me both on the celebrity crush thing and the whole remaining humble thing, bud. I remember first seeing her in Winter's Bone and knowing, and I mean KNOWING, that she was going to get way bigger than just this. She might actually surpass the level that I put Emma Watson on when I was in high school.

[–]Warchief_Chieften 1 point2 points ago

To be honest... I don't understand the Emma Watson hype, I'd take Jennifer over Emma any day.

[–]SamueleumaS 0 points1 point ago

I most definitely agree with you now. But there was just something about that clever British chick that made playing with my wand just a little more fun when I was 14. Oh the memories...

[–]blushingtart 37 points38 points ago

Haha love her. Would really like to know what she was reacting to.

[–]Wissam24 15 points16 points ago

Damn, I recognise her but for the life of me can't put a name to her...

[–]magtis[S] 24 points25 points ago

Wasn't she the girl from the hunger games?

[–]ghostwarfare 24 points25 points ago

She played Mystique in X-men first class.

[–]jlmorris 21 points22 points ago

And now I have an erection while taking a dump. Conditioning this is away is going to be a bitch

[–]Captain_Midnight 14 points15 points ago

[–]NotC 2 points3 points ago

Completion is always the answer, and since I just pretend to take a dump, you are already one step ahead.

[–]xMIASMAx 0 points1 point ago

My fiance is catching on to the ol' "I got to poop" at midnight routine.

[–]xaronax -1 points0 points ago

Superman that ho.

[–]xMIASMAx 1 point2 points ago

Explain this phrase to me.

[–]xaronax 3 points4 points ago

"Superman that ho" is where you stealthily ejaculate onto the back of your sleeping mate, and then attach a bedsheet to the area, causing the bedsheet to act as a cape when said mate awakens.

Here's the charming music video, complete with children singing it. If this doesn't cause you to be slightly racist, your brain is faulty.

It's the highest grossing opening non-sequel movie of all time. Watch it. Also, Jennifer was phenomenal in it. You might want to read the first few chapters of the book first.

[–]jackzander 2 points3 points ago

Did the OP really just ask this?

[–]Tatersaur 1 point2 points ago

[–]irrelevant_novelty 23 points24 points ago

Am I the only one who finds her rediculously sexy while dressed as Katniss from the hunger games / during the movie.. but not so much when she's not...?

(Not that she isn't, just less so)

[–]vecnyj 8 points9 points ago

Was it the sexy murderess aspect?

[–]rikutian 3 points4 points ago

I agree completely. I didn't even recognize her as the same girl from X-Men First Class.

[–]theoriginaljwin 3 points4 points ago

Me too! Its the hair!

[–]este_hombre 1 point2 points ago

I agree with you, but in this gif I actually think she's pretty hot.

[–]Aloisia 1 point2 points ago

Yes, she makes a sexy brunette!

[–]brianbrianbrian 1 point2 points ago

I think it's the hairstyle, myself.

Though this one isn't too bad either.

[–]jessers25 0 points1 point ago

I actually feel the opposite. I think she's gorgeous, but as Katniss she was just meh.

[–]GetStapled 0 points1 point ago

Jennifer Lawrence

[–]Salanderfan 0 points1 point ago

Jennifer Lawrence, who's been in (off the top of my head): The Hunger Games, Winter's Bone, The Beaver & Like Crazy.

[–]Supermoves3000 4 points5 points ago

Loved her in Winter's Bone. And X-Men First Class was pretty good too. Although it had Kevin Bacon, yes THE Kevin Bacon, which kind of makes the rest of the cast superfluous.

[–]voteferpedro 1 point2 points ago

Can anyone confirm the rumor that Kevin Bacon asked for the role of Sebastian Shaw because he loved the Hellfire Club from the 70's and 80's Uncanny X-Men?

[–]Kombat_Wombat 0 points1 point ago

[–]raraahahah 19 points20 points ago

At 6:44

http://youtu.be/_dUvnxkqPD0?t=6m37s

From what I can tell, she wasn't reacting to anything audible. She was acknowledging a fan in the crowd while her co-star talked about his dietary habits in preparation for the film.

[–]daskrip 12 points13 points ago

That was very entertaining to watch. I recommend it!
An example of why this was so great (top YouTube comment):

3:07
Jennifer: Oh shit, I didn't shave my armpits this morning.
Josh: What?
Jennifer: I didn't shave my armpits this morning!

[–]Ol_Lefteye 1 point2 points ago

Nice circular argument hybridized with a No-Scotsman. Very interesting strain.

edit: technically a two-circular argument. Seewhatididthere.

[–]neologasm 1 point2 points ago

His argument may be wrong, but his central point is right - just because somebody believes this, it does not necessarily make them a theist. Just because someone is a theist, it does not necessarily mean that they believe this.

However, that isn't the point the op is making, so this is sort of out of left-field.

[–]Ol_Lefteye 3 points4 points ago

That isn't his point though. His "point" is semantically wriggling regarding "defining characteristics." It's silly because he's the one doing the arbitrary defining.

Also, the number of atheists who actually believe and state that atheism starts wars and ruins lives (or variations on the same "atheism is evil" theme) approaches zero. There's correlation between "atheism is evil" and theism because in theism we see doctrines of hellbound sinners etc. Nobody is stating that all, most, or even a significant of majority of theists believe this way, just that situations like this happen to atheists as part of their everyday experiences.

TL;DR you don't need to use qualifiers in each and every instance because some mang on the internet automatically assumes you are stating absolutes to troll even if it's obvious you aren't.

[–]r0wo1 0 points1 point ago

This is a point I've tried to make. Why are you so much better at it than I am? >:(

[–]Rancor22 0 points1 point ago

that is an over simplification. being uninformed is not the same as being stupid. i dont think someone is stupid because they have been told something is true for most of their life by almost their entire community.

there is nothing incorrect with the OPs post. some stupid people would say that some wouldnt. some people of average intelligence would say that others wouldn't. theists would say that, non-theists would not, so everyone who makes a claim like "atheism starts wars" can pretty safely be called a theist.

[–]HermanTheKid 0 points1 point ago

Then it doesn;t matter who is doing the telling. It should just read: "When I am told that atheism starts wars and ruins lives". Also, being uninformed is not the same as being misinformed, and is, perhaps, more excusable.

[–]jeanofjogon -3 points-2 points ago

You made a mistake, the purple circle should be entirely within the yellow circle.

[–]Rancor22 -1 points0 points ago

[–]acolossalbear 3 points4 points ago

I've seen zero evidence of it happening anywhere. Out of the multitude of entirely offensive things I've seen theists say to atheists, I have never once seen an example of a theist telling an atheist that "atheism starts wars and ruins lives".

[–]Rancor22 2 points3 points ago

maybe not in that exact wording. but i live in a very conservative town and have heard this plenty of times, often in the form of pointing to Hitler and Stalin as atheist.

[–]voteferpedro 3 points4 points ago

Your mileage may vary. I have dealt with a lot of transplants to Wisconsin from down South and Colorado. They think god saves all and godlessness is the root of evil. I don't try and argue with them. I just try and break the ice and taboo with humor. The /atheism subreddit is nice for that sometimes.

[–]SpaceElfPrincess 1 point2 points ago

I've never had this happen to me. But I was reading an article yesterday and found this in the comments: "Now here is a challenge for you, can you tell me which sky fairy caused Finnish Atheist and Darwihadist (darwinian jihadist) Pekka to kill 7 students for his Atheistic Faith? In his own words: “a cynical existentialist, anti-human humanist, anti-social social-Darwinist, realistic idealist and god-like ATHEIST. “I am prepared to fight and die for my cause,” he wrote. “I, as a natural selector, will eliminate all who I see unfit, disgraces of human race and failures of natural selection.” Pekka Eric Auvinen"

The same guy went on to say: "Dinesh D’Souza (an author and public speaker & currently the President of The King’s College in New York City. He has debated all the high profile Atheists like late Hitchens, Dennet, Shermer etc.) has already put that to test and here is what he thinks:

“In the name of creating their version of a religion-free utopia, Adolf Hitler (Was Hitler a Christian? - check out the link on the “Atheistic Violence” website - link below), Joseph Stalin, and Mao Zedong produced the kind of mass slaughter that no Inquisitor could possibly match. Collectively these atheist tyrants murdered more than 100 million people. Whatever the motives for atheist bloodthirstiness, the indisputable fact is that all the religions of the world put together have in 2,000 years not managed to kill as many people as have been killed in the name of atheism in the past few decades.

It’s time to abandon the mindlessly repeated mantra that religious belief has been the greatest source of human conflict and violence. Atheism, not religion, is the real force behind the mass murders of history.”

http://atheisticviolence.wordpress.com/2007/12/04/atheism-not-religion-is-the-force-behind-the-mass-murders-of-history/"

I was a little disturbed that only one person confronted him.

this was the article: http://www.thepunch.com.au/articles/God-Im-sick-of-comedians-laughing-at-religion/

[–]brwilliams 0 points1 point ago*

Here is a video of a Priest claiming this exact thing in a debate with Matt Dillahunty about morality.

Secularism, the denial of that sacred dimension, is a place that leads in the end to concentration camps and gulags. It does, read your history.

If saying that secularism leads to concentration camps isn't an assertion that atheism starts wars and ruins lives then I don't know what is.

[–]r0wo1 0 points1 point ago*

That's based on the assumption that all Christians and all Christian based religions are against separation of church and state though isn't it?

[–]Miscrotesoft 0 points1 point ago

No wonder you've performed so poorly in proffering a point... you have none. You can't articulate anything. How is anything you just said an actual response to any of the comment directed at you?

You dodge, dodge, dodge. Pathetic.

then,

Fr. Vincent Twomey a Catholic theologian, put this question on this years module for a teacher training course at Hibernia College in Dublin: “Atheist humanism produced the worst horrors history has ever witnessed. True or False?”

You haven't responded to any of this. Well, you told one guy you weren't "talking" to him. Maybe if you ignore them some more, they will go away.

[–]Miscrotesoft 2 points3 points ago

So you've never heard a theist say (incorrectly, of course) that Hitler was an atheist? That taking down Hitler and Stalin was saving the world from two Atheist dictators bent on taking over the world by war? Hell, I've even seen people on Reddit say that.

[–]r0wo1 1 point2 points ago

And so you interpret that to mean atheism is the cause of war and and the bringer of oppression?

Quite the persecution complex you've got running there.

[–]Miscrotesoft 0 points1 point ago

He's perfectly welcome to say whatever he likes.

Just like you are free to ignore the point he makes, which further makes your argument look foolish, and not respond to anything for which you don't have a response.

I don't know why you're upset with him for making you look bad. You did that yourself when you failed to address the first 3 people who provided not just counter-claims but evidence to back them. But, hey, no one is holding their breath.

Because atheism doesn't serve as an excuse for validating your points of view over that of others?

Or atheists are just the lazyest people in the world?

LOL I'm an atheist myself, but I've given up on trying to discuss religion or anything else related with others, I even avoid /r/atheism becuase, ironically, they have to be some of the biggest chauvinist, biased and hateful people in the world.

For someone who doesn't give a damn about religion, they surely seem to enjoy wasting their time making it their only pupose when they wake up in the morning!

[–]Rekhtanebo 0 points1 point ago

Well, you know that there are plenty of atheists who, growing up in extremely religious areas, need to let of some steam every once in a while, expecially if they get hated on and face prejudice very often in their daily lives because of their lack of belief.

You'll find that many atheists, esp. on reddit and the like, are also anti-theistic, in which case it makes plenty of sense how against religion they are. Those atheists that aren't anti-theistic don't have much to talk about in regards to their atheism, so you don't hear from them much, do you? So, it really is not all that unusual that you hear a lot of talk against relgion, if you think about it a bit. After all, atheism doesn't mean "doesn't give a damn about religion", that's more well known as apatheism. Atheism is closer to lack of belief. Your confusion most likely comes from your ignorance about the terms people use and the specific definition they're using when they use it.

also,

This should be laziest. An adjective ending in "y", when you turn it into a superlative, you change the "y" into an "i". :)

It is stupid people that start wars and ruin lifes, not theists or atheists.

The Stalin and Mao regimes butchered millions of people, but so did the Christian Roman and Byzantine emperors, or the Christian Normans, or Christian Saxons, or the the Christian French/spanish/British/Portoguese during their colonization efforts.

You can be an atheist and cruel, or a theist and cruel. Being a theist or atheist does not make a difference. If you are a theist, you will quickly believe that it is God's will to exterminate anyone disagreeing with you, and if you are an atheist, you will quickly believe you are the only one that knows the truth and therefore others that disagree with you are inferior and must be exterminated.

Communist beliefs. fascist beliefs. Both belief systems, see? Just like religions are belief systems. What's the common denominator here? Yep, you've got it in one.

[–]Tonooki 1 point2 points ago

That's not a very good argument. Being an Atheist does not make you devoid of all belief. Faith, on the other hand...

[–][deleted] -1 points0 points ago

Maybe I should have been a little clearer. The common denominator is uncritical fanatical MASS belief in a common cause. When you can persuade a lot of people to believe the same things, then yes, faith can move mountains. When those beliefs turn ugly, however, people die by the millions.

See: Japanese entry into WW2, German entry into WW2, Start of WW1, The Korea War, The Vietnam War, The Punic Wars, The 30 Year War, The Winter War ... yawn, do I really have to go on? I used to be an ardent atheist but since the advent of all you newly blessed atheist idiots i feel like converting to Catholicism even though I'm born in a protestant country. When will it fit into your head that war and violence has always existed and is not CAUSED exclusively by religion? There are political and economical aspects to history, it doesn't just come down to people flipping the fuck out and killing infidels. I know you very much like to believe it to be true, but is not. Read a fucking book already. From Europe with Love.

[–]DigitalOsmosis 0 points1 point ago

"When anyone tells me that any belief system is responsible for starting wars and ruining lives." FTFY.

If you could replace all the beliefs on the planet with any single belief system, evil people will still start wars and ruin lives regardless, they will just seek justification within whatever belief system they are constrained to.

[–]Doombringer223 0 points1 point ago

I had someone in my computer concepts class last monday try and explain to me how atheism ultimately leads to communism and how atheists are ruining everything because they have no god that they worship so they try to become their own gods and think of themselves as gods and they worship themselves. When I tried to point out that atheist cannot believe that they are a god because the word atheist means someone who does not believe in a deity or deities he got frustrated and then tried to rationalize how atheists don't believe in a god so they must be selfish and worship themselves.
