Deep in our nation’s capital, Mike Pence and his mother/wife/partner in God’s warm light, Karen, are standing in front of a giant cross, hands reaching towards each other, a respectable 4 to 5 inches of space between their flesh. “Happy Mother’s Day, Mother,” Pence whispers.
Sorry to be writing about Jennifer Lawrence on here again (though I can’t apologize for her being on a publicity tour right now for Red Sparrow), but she has a strong opinion about the first three minutes of Paul Thomas Anderson’s tightly stitched Oscar contender Phantom Thread that I think you should be aware of.…
Jodie Foster thinks big budget movies are like fracking, in that they are both turning the planet into a desolate wasteland.
Not long after their tense “no, no you don’t understand the film” promotional tour for their trainwreck movie mother!, couple Jennifer Lawrence and Darren Aronofsky split after a year of dating.
In a turn of events no one could possible have foreseen, Darren Aronofsky—a man who dresses like an important director, and also happens to be one—and actress Jennifer Lawrence have called it quits after a year of dating.
After opening yesterday to only $3.1 million, mother! has gotten an “F” rating on CinemaScore, both an indication of a terrible opening and a kind of badge of honor. “It’s very hard to get an F,” a studio executive told me. “Audiences are usually more forgiving than critics.” It’s hard enough to get an “F” that the…
Through it’s cute illustrated poster, silly promotional stunt involving heart-shaped cakes, and frustratingly-styled title (with its lowercase ‘m’ and exclamation mark) might suggest mother! is some kind of new twee comedy, it’s actually a horror film—an “extreme,” “ambitiously bonkers” “torrent of despair.”
Before we get into the trailer itself, allow me to set a scene for you. Not the scene of the movie, mind you. My scene. I am alone in an Airbnb, a continent away from 100 percent of the people I know. (Freelancing allows you these happy freedoms). A clock of unknown origin is ticking somewhere in the apartment, and a…
We typically don’t hear stories about Jennifer Lawrence’s bodily functions and fluids unless she’s promoting a movie, so when I first read the Page Six story detailing Lawrence’s very recent and very public bout with the stomach flu, I jumped over to her IMDB page to see when her new film Mother would be released.…
Not one to overlook opportunity, director Darren Aronofsky unveiled the first poster for his upcoming film, Mother!, on—but of course—Mother’s Day. Featuring a waxen-faced, vestal Jennifer Lawrence, the image grinds against the maudlin conventions of the day. Take a quick look, and you’ll see why.
A woman named Brandy Jaynes of Toquerville, Utah, has been arrested for allegedly locking her 12-year-old son in the bathroom for a suspected one-to-two years in what authorities are calling one of the “most heinous cases” they’ve ever seen.
Monica Mares gave up her son Caleb Peterson when she was 16 years old. The two reconnected on Facebook when he was 19, and met in person around last Christmas. Soon he was living with her. Not long after that, they say, they became lovers.
Project Bush is here and it is vulva-rific!
Gillian Anderson, the disbelieving Agent Scully from The X-Files, was a bit of a romantic when she was a young, Los Angeles-bound woman, and though following her then-boyfriend from New York to L.A. eventually led to her getting the sweet X-Files gig at the age of 24, she hopes her daughter doesn’t succumb to such…
More than a year after kicking around the procedure's viability, doctors at the University of Goteborg in Sweden have performed the first mother-to-daughter uterus transplants, though they're saving all the back-patting for when (or if) the daughters, who began IVF treatment before the surgery, actually conceive.
It's so hard to know whether becoming a parent will ruin your life or be the only thing that makes it worth living. We may not get a grand verdict anytime soon, but new research has at least figured out one thing: moms who believe they are the most important person in their baby's life and that they should always put…
No matter how you slice it, childbirth is scary. You're trying to squeeze a pretty large baby head (and shoulders and the rest) through a pretty narrow channel (vagina!), and yes, in theory, your body is designed to do this and it will work—but what if it doesn't? We all know that practically every woman in labor is…
Have you been longing for scientific confirmation of what every adult has figured out in therapy or learned from watching TV? Well, you're in luck. It's now been proven that our parents can fuck us up like almost nothing else can. And it's not just our mothers who mess us up. It turns out our dads are equally…
You might think that once you give birth to a child that they're no longer a part of you physically—except, of course, for the complete control they retain over your heart and mind. Well, think again, because it turns out that during pregnancy some of their cells scatter in your body and stay there for years, maybe…
