Yay! I found this old-school season 1 house vid from the show "Showbiztonight". Awsomeness beyond measure. Also: WTF is up with the repeating?

Enjoy:

Hello!
Let us cut to the chase: this show sucks like crazy...for a slew of reasons that have been discussed to death. Yet, I have recently picked up on something that annoys me as much as the atrocious female roles of the show. I find that this show portrays youths in a particular way. This show is a great find for analyzing this matter. The viewers themselves are perfect suspects. Women ranging from elderly to teen age have voiced their appeal to HL/House's sexiness (when House was admirable and not stupid/not annoying/meaningful) in the fandom/forums. I myself, a junior in highschool, was once an avid-viewer of this show.
But one episode that aired this season truly bugged me. The ep was the one where cameron was first told by chase about killing dibala and the young teen who went to an esoteric concert and was supposedly bulimic. The young girl and the clique were exceptionally STUPID. Truly moronic and naive in their adoration of this band. Very stereotypically girly/ditzy/oh-my-god-I-love-this-band-I-would-totally-kill-for-them ish. It wasn't just this particular patient that irritated me. Many of the characters have voiced their stereotyping of younger/teen patients. Many of the characters will say statements/comments along the lines of "oh..well, that patient/person is stupid b/c she/he is young....oh what a stupid teen....oh kids are brats... teens are stupid...ect". Wilson in the last episode talked to this idiotic, naive girl about NOT viisting her daddy b/c he pursued a younger woman. Lame much? Really? Granted, this was a side note and not truly a fixation in the episode. However, there have been numerous side notes, one-liners, and little comments like this that have irked me greatly that was beneath house just being house/making a point.
This show once showed depth and respect to younger characters. There were potw (we have those?) that were young but showed a true grasp of society and awareness about the world. Not know-it-all geniuses. But youths that had true understanding of various matters. We had that one patient who was articulate, dignified in "house v.s god" (s.2) , the young kid who was trying to help his mother suffering from schizophrenia in s.1, and we had the one kid who has the over-protective mother who was intelligent and was more concerned about taking a calculus exam with that bitchy teacher in s.1 .
It wasn't until (shockers of all shockers *eyerolls*) s 4-6 that the show relied on more pre-conceived notions of what teens supposedly are instead of who they genuinely can be for writing younger patients/characters. In fact, I rather miss some of the younger patients that this show once had. But right now, I would not ask for it. The show sucks anyway and they couldn't handle it. I miss the teens from s.1/s.2/s.3 that had some intelligence and sophistication.
There are many viewers that have antagonized house/cameron fans because "oh cam is so young...la la la for wanting house".
The show itself have openly mocked itself in a few eps for casting such a seemingly young person for the underling/supposed to be 30 doctor. Jen voiced it herself in one interview. When the show was concerned about realism.
Yet, again, it could additionally be argued that cuddy is rather young to be in a position of authority (laugh at that for a few minutes) , the dean of a hospital. I suppose it is pointless because the creators never set a particular age and that could have screwed some of the actors over b/c they need the illusion that actors are "timeless" in a way that they can play a ballpark age for severl more years past one innitial age. Therefore, a 22-26 year old can still play a highschooler for 4 years.
I just found it interesting due to the fact that Jen was VERY young when she was cast; if you truly think about it. She was 25. She had enough beauty and sharpness to chill out in the teen market for (at least) several more years(O.C. castmates were in mid to late 20s for the duration of the show's run). Prior to the Ashlee Simpson show and House, jen did a pilot that was set on a beach with surfing. It was canceled by the executives. Yet, I find it interesting because jen never did get a foot hold in that market. Sure, she had Grind in 2003. But the minute she was cast in house, she was marketed towards more adult works: Mr.and Mrs. Smith, Big Stan, ect. It was never as if Jen had anything to prove. Yet, she did very well considering that she was in a cast full of people in their late30s to mid40's with more mature acting works. Jesse Spencer was the only one her age. And many of the castmates have commented on how articulate and intelligent she is. Today, 20 is the new teen on so many terrible levels in society. So many people in their 20s are seldom taken seriously. Many higher-ups will be hesitant to higher 20-year-olds because they presume those people to only care about drinking/partying/being stupid (thank you college stereotype). Jennifer could have easily been caught up in this. Yet, thanks to her street cred of graduating in 3 years, taking hs seriously, playing in the band, and presenting herself in a dignified manner, she avoided this assumption.
I generally am upset towards the way that society collectively blows off what the teen/young adult generation has to offer. We have more perception and undstanding than both adults and teens themselves give us credit. The majority of petulant behavior is caused by poor modeling. The Who's Baba O' Riley song voices how teens shouldn't waste what they have to offer to society. So much of teen life is wasted on unimportant matters and not enough on things that are of higher value. I can assure you that I am exceedingly indifferent towards dances/boyfriends/parties. I like highschool and I like people, I could easily focus all of my attention on these things if I wished to do so. Yet, I know there is more out there in the real world. There are things that I know jack about. There are bigger and far more important things that lie within the world.
I suppose it is pointless to point this ageism issue out since we as a fandom mostly don't watch the show (until cameron comes back-I wish), yet I found it interesting none the less. Your thoughts?

Okay...dear god I never post anything on here.  I think I am going to change that. Maybe, I will make a new year resolution.

WARNING: SPOILERS ON JENNIFER MORRISON'S MOVIES. DON'T READ IF YOU DON'T WANT TO SEE SPOILERS FOR HOUSE AND HER OTHER MOVIES.

Anyway, on the main issue I wanted to discuss here:

JENNIFER MORRISON URBAN LEGENDS 2 INTERVIEW

Here is the main article: http://s663.photobucket.com/albums/uu360/Aleki_77/?action=view&current=femme1.jpg

Please read the entire thing of the black and white pages. Okay, I loved the main issue Jen addressed in this . She openly points out how she gets crappy scripts that showcase women as "breaking down" and being "weak" every 2 seconds. She also addressed how she wanted to tweak how much her char. broke down. I absolutely love this. I think it is very true in society. It (the sexism in the entertainment industry)  is something many female actors have complained about or acknowledged. Especially the brilliant ellen page whom we all know from "Juno".  Now we should consider some of the roles jen has gotten over the years:

Urban Legends 2: she played a strong woman who is an individualist and controls a lot of situations (as pointed out in this article).
Grind: she played a leading skateboarder chick (in a sport that women were considered inferior). She shows up the boys in skating skills and helps them out to get into a competition at the end. She is rather on the "ins" of the sport world and says screw you to a skater guy who talks trash about her behind her back. She also directly states " I think I can take care of myself" to Eric Rivers when he tries to defend her. A definate departure from the lame "damsel in distress" .
Big Stan: she played a ditzy girl who shows toward the end that she has more spit fire, indepedence, and intellect than her own husband gives her credit for. She shows up her husband when she learns martial arts at the end and saves his ass from a corrupt head jail gaurd. Even though she has chest implants, she still stands up for herself when her husband pretends she is going to get "raped" (That scene is the best b/c u really see her char. get really damn angry at her husband's antics).
Stir of Echoes: she played the ghost who was terrifying Bacon's lead char. Her char. gets raped but she gets her avengence in her own right by alerting Bacon's char. to her death/cause of death/rape. So in a way, she brings her rapists to justice. I think one kills himself (he didn't actually rape her but he let it happen) and the other (who actually raped her char.) is shot.
Comand & Conquer 3: she played a lead woman commander in rank who was "aiding"/giving directions to the player. Bonus: she wasn't a prostitute or some demon char. with no clothes on (have you seen some of those other fictitiuos chars? GAG. ).
The Murder of Princess Diana: she was great. She was the lead news journalist/reporter and was very detective-ish trying to uncover the supposed death of princess Di,  Independent, and strong. Not emotionally weak what so ever and trys to bring the "corrupt" people to justice. Granted it's lifetime so of course it is going to be very feminist (don't get me wrong I like lifetime movies and shows but come on, sometimes they make it worse by almost always having women getting abuse/raped/cheated on/screwed over/violated/hurt/emotionally devastated or whatever in SOME fashion) .
Surviving Christmas: Okay, so she is an utter ditz in this but she is very independent, snotty, and rich. Besides, she kinda makes a stand for herself by saying "f-you" (not literally) to Ben's lead guy char. and his insanity with his pretend family. She stands in her own right and fights for what she wants in the relationship.
Mr. and Mrs. Smith: she didn't really have a real role in this but she played an assasin assistant and wasn't in a dominatrix or little schoolgirl skimpy outfit. She wore a fairly conseravtive skirt and black knee highs and a vest long sleeved shirt. She got to kick some ass and showcased intellect in that....um....industry. She had a dignified look and manner to her.
Flourish: she was great in this as a crazy person. She walked that fine line very well. She was mentally crazy but she was the lead and had a sense of drive. She's not slutty or just wondering around acting stereotypically crazy.  Although her char. is lost, the movie shows depth to the char. and shows the char. trying to gain control over an insane situation. You also get her sense of hopelessness at not being in control or not having mental stability. (Bonus: Leighton Meester who now plays the lovely and bitchy Blair played the bratty 16-year old who goes missing)
House: So there was a time when I could once call her char., "Cam", strong and indepedent. Cam is a doctor for god's sake in a mainstream television show that has attained great recognition. That is a bit of a big deal considering women are often looked down as just merely "nurses" (who deserve way more respect and recognition than they get now. Hopefuly "Mercy" can change that). But in general, in today's society it is great that more women are doctors and stand on their own-AND get recognition in that aspect via media. I mean, cam is an equal in many ways. She was an equal with chase and 4man. She also is more of an equal to house now in s.4/s.5./s.6. She snarks back and fights more. Besides, cam didn't last as the "weak" one. She had growth/progression and was WAY more mature in the later seasons. She stands on her own a LOT more and doesn't get emotionally weak toward harsh situations. When she is emotional, it is done in more realistic ways. Cam also showcases the value that emotion has in medicine.  How connecting emotionally with ur patient and not treating them completely like cattle matters. I loved that about cam even if she got a tad preachy at times. There was sincerety and depth to her char. and who she was as a person. However, i did find it a bit annoying when she was shown as the loser in recent eps. She is the only one who DOESN"T get what is going on with dibala? Really? Come on.
 
The point I am trying to get at is that it is interesting how lucky jen has been with roles. Granted, she's had to handle a few sexist roles where it is obvious she was just eye candy and not really given depth. Yet, for the most part, she has been lucky.  I find her roles similar to ellen page's roles. Granted, both are different in personal tastes and acting styles. Yet, they both have attained strong acting roles where the women were written to be strong, influential, individualistic, indepedent, intelligent, and cool. I really hope that the stereotypical written women on screen of being generally stupid, whiny, ditzy, slutty, taking garments off, breaking down every 2 seconds, and being weak ends. I think it is slowly getting better. Your thoughts?

‘House’ Watch: Trouble for Cameron and Chase, Harmony for House and Wilson

By Ginia Bellafante

It took me FOREVER to find this! I know Jen did 2 other interviews for Grind. One in her wardrobe where shes alone and talking about Jamie and then another one where she is talking with Mike Vogel about the movie's style. This is one from when Jen was working on the Donna's music video for Grind "Too Bad About Your Girl" from 2003. Here's the link . Also, if it doesn't work just refresh because the vid will freeze and you have to wait for the vid to move:

Okay, I am very excited to hear that Rob got his movie, "Big Stan" on a DVD distributor after all! You can get it on Amazon.com. I am sooo excited. Aparently, there are some major clips of Jennifer being interviewed in the DVD extras (in the american dvd version) and some great commentary. If someone could post these clips on Youtube or find a way to watch them that would be great! I am just happy this movie is finally open to the public.

Here's the Link:

I found this pic on IMDB.com and I was hoping there would be more pics. This is not a very good pic. But all of this Star Trek buzz is rather exciting. Aparently the movie is going to premeire in a LOT of countries before it hits U.S. in may. :D This is Jen at the UK premiere ! :D There is a better one at this link:

I AM Psyched! :D

Hey! I'm new to this site. I'm also a big of jennifer morrison. I was just wondering if anyone knew how to enlarge a picture. The thing is that I found a ton of pics of Jen, Jesse, and Leighton Meester working on the old project "Flourish" from 2005. They're pretty sweet. I was curious because some of the pictures you can't enlarge necessarily, other sites managed to grab certain pictures seperately and made it possible to enlarge them. I'm just wondering how this was done or if anyone can enlarge them or what. Cause some pics aren't on this "Flourishmovie(dot)com" website that have been posted on other sites and such. Sorry if this is a stupid question. Any help is very much appreciated. :) Plus there are some sweet pics if no one's seen them or heard of the project. :) I really enjoyed the movie. Jen was so amazing in it. Anyway, here you go:
http://www.flourishmovie.com/btscast2.htm

 
YAY!!!!!!!!!!! :D The DVD " Big Stan" is officially on the market at Amazon.com/uk which you can only get in the uk. HOWEVER, one of hte many wonderful jennifer morrison sites managed to get a DVD and posted a wonderful amount of clips of jen from this movie.  you can download the clips and the site will later adopt screen caps. HOwever, for now, you can see jen in this movie on youtube. Gotta say: the movie is pretty stupid so if you have a low tollerance of idiocy in the hollywood world be wary. Having said that: jen is pretty amazing in it. She does this great thing with her voice and this movie definately showcases her wonderful acting abillities. Granted there are quiet  a few cute funny moments strewn into this movie.  Just enter "BIG STAN Jennifer Morrison "  and you'll find the vids. :D Personally I absolutely adored her- she gives the excellent mix of ditzy-ness and vulnerability in her character Mindy.  This role is even better than her other ditzy role in "Surviving Christmas"- which she was still excellent in that one as well and could be of kin to her role as mindy. :D Either way she always reminds me why she's my favorite actress. ENjoy!

So I guess I'm new here and I just want to say hey! I'm really here to get pics on all my fav actors! :)

Hey ! So I'm new here and this is my first real post ! :D And I found this on Jennifer Morrison Fan.com and granted this is a pic of her in her indie movie "The Zeros" where this guy is trying to find her. This is most likely a picture of one her when she was a kid. :) It's really cute! ALso I am DESPERATE to know if anyone knows what happened to www.jennifer-morrison.net - it went on hiatus and then it turned into a Kirsten Bell fan site and now it's gone, it just goes to a random server.  If  anyone knows what the deal is with that please tell me. 



Also this was an ancient post but it's been killing me lately. Someone ( i_heart_cameron) went to this community and posted pics that were of Jennifer Morrison during her highschool career where she's in chorus, band, senior year, ect. It was from 
www. jennifer-morrison.net and it was an exclusive- you had to go to the site. The host didn't want them floating around the internet.They are near imposible to find .They were awsome pics. Here the old post you just have to scroll:

http://community.livejournal.com/jmo_daily/?skip=180 If ANYONE knows where I could find more and/or get a copy please email me. I appreciate any help. :) 

Hey so I'm new here and this is my first official post. THough I dought anyone is going to wish to hear to what I say. All wells. I 'm really new at this and any comments are appreciated. :) Thx !
