JOY

The images of picking strawberries with my mom, Joy, are some of my fondest and fullest-belly memories.  You'd pick and eat as you go--I know it's slightly wrong, but my friend who runs a pick-as-you-go farm, back in Wisconsin, said "we know folks do that, and average it in the price."  Well, ...

Jennifer Lawrence was 24 when she shot Joy. Her character, Joy Mangano, was 34 when she invented the Miracle Mop and became one of the first stars of the QVC network. This fact remains inescapable throughout Joy. Lawrence remains watchable in Joy because, as one of our best young actors, she can’t help but be watchable. But she’s totally miscast as a divorced mother of two who’s been repeatedly beaten down by life’s disappointments. This part was meant for the Jennifer Lawrence of a 2025, not the one of 2015.

Whatever you do, never speak on behalf of Jennifer Lawrence. Seriously, don’t do it. Girl’s got a shotgun. In the latest trailer for David O. Russell’s Joy, we get a longer look at the Lawrence-led family drama, and a really great line courtesy of Robert De Niro.

2014 has been a long year. It's the first time since 2005 that we haven't had a Pixar movie and we're feeling a little withdrawal. The good news is that 2015 brings us two new Pixar movies, including 'Inside Out', the next film from Oscar-winning director Pete Docter ('Up'). While some were lucky enough to see the opening five minutes at a Pixar preview earlier this year, the first public release 'Inside Out' footage was made available today on the Disney Anywhere app. And, maybe it's the Pixar withdrawal speaking, but we're starting to get really excited.

Digging around on the interwebs, we recently came across the Wayback Machine. It's essentially a time machine for websites that allows you to go back to all of your design mistakes and regrets. Fun, right? We wanted to take a look at Joy over the years to see how much we've changed since the beginning of our archives in 2010. However, Wayback either doesn't want to cooperate or is being extra kind

Here are Joy's top played songs in January.
