Anna Kendrick Injects Herself

Anna Kendrick Injects Herself Into '50/50' Character

Though "50/50" is just loosely based on writer Will Reiser's experience navigating cancer in his mid-20s, nearly every character in the movie is based on a real person who was involved in Reiser's life during that confusing time. Most prominently, Seth Rogen, Reiser's best friend and co-writer, plays a twisted version of himself, while Joseph Gordon-Levitt plays Adam, a fictionalized big screen Reiser.

Anna Kendrick, on the other hand, takes on one of the few major roles in the film with no true backstory. But that hardly means that she didn't find a way to inject life into her character.

Kendrick plays Katherine, a 24-year-old psychotherapy graduate student who is charged with somehow comforting a terse, scared -- and three years her senior -- Adam. Hot on the role from the moment she read the script,,cheap nfl jerseys china, Kendrick said she felt a certain empathy with Katherine from the start.

'[She] was such a mess.Nfl bears jersreys cheap She was so vulnerable and terrified on the inside.Golf Ladies Clubs I liked that a lot," Kendrick told The Huffington Post in an interview on Monday. "I felt like a lot of people didn't see that, and maybe that's because I projected some of that on to the character, I guess I'll never really know."

Reiser, she said, didn't quite realize the extent to which they could mine Katherine's background and dialogue for compassion, palpable fear and professional uncertainty. Instead, the initial version of the script envisioned the character as the apathetic daughter of a well-regarded therapist, thrust into the field without any sort of enthusiasm or desire to help her patients. Unable to reconcile that with what she saw on paper, Kendrick revealed that she spoke to the film's director, Jonathan Levine,Louis Vuitton Handbags wholesale about making a major change.

Rugby World Cup: Lawson to lead against Pumas

Halfback Rory Lawson will again lead Scotland in its crucial Rugby World Cup match against Argentina on Sunday, with lock Alastair Kellock missing selection in the match squad despite being appointed captain before the tournament.

Lawson is unbeaten in four matches as Scotland's captain, leading the team to a 15-6 win over Georgia in its previous Pool B match.

Kellock, who captained Scotland to a 2-0 series win over Argentina last year, has been omitted from the 22-player squad. Richie Gray and Jim Hamilton have been selected in the second row with lock Nathan Hines on the bench.

"To be fair to Al, as always he has taken it very well. He's an outstanding character," coach Andy Robinson said. "For us going into this game we have to be able to play with ball in hand, but we also have to be able to move Argentina around. It's important that we don't just get into a kicking game.

"This is phase two of our operation in the World Cup and we've got two games to win. I said to the squad yesterday, I think that we've got 28 guys that could be selected for this match."

The side announced by Robinson yesterday includes five players who started Scotland's opening match against Romania but missed out against Georgia.,Moncler jackets,

John Barclay takes over from Ross Rennie on the openside flank while Gray returns at lock ahead of Hines and Geoff Cross at tighthead prop in place of Euan Murray, whose religious beliefs prevent him playing on a Sunday.

Ruaridh Jackson returns at first five-eighths in place of Dan Parks and Chris Paterson, who replaces Rory Lamont at fullback, will play his 14th World Cup match, equalling the Scotland record of lock Doddie Weir.

"It's going to be an incredibly tight game, a close game, two good sides who often play close games against each other," Paterson said.

Robinson has sought to match what he expects to be a physical Argentina forward pack by bulking up his own tight five. It is partly for that reason he has gone for the 2.07m Gray and the 127kg Hamilton in the second row ahead of Kellock.

"The right hand side of the scrummage is important for us and Euan is our best scrummager. Euan is not playing in this game, so there's some real weight (needed) behind Geoff Cross on that right hand side and that's what Jim Hamilton gives," Robinson said. "Jim has led the lineout well in the games he's played in and also in the Ireland match early on in the warm-ups. We're putting together a second row to work with Jim that could give us the ability to play quickly.

"I believe that Richie Gray, who is an outstanding second-row forward, has that ability to work for us in the open play.Abercrombie"

Scotland is seeking its sixth straight test win on Sunday, a feat the team hasn't achieved since it won the Grand Slam in 1989-90.

A victory over Argentina would also maintain its record of reaching the knockout rounds of every World Cup tournament.

Argentina will announce its team today.

Some of HTC's Google patents may be worthless

Some of HTC's Google patents may be worthless

That's according to Tyron Stading, founder and chief technology officer of Innography, a software company that pores through data related to intellectual property. His company's analysis found that Google may not have had the right to sell two of the nine patents.

For Google, it represented the first direct support of one of an Android partner. Several companies, including HTC, Samsung Electronics, and Motorola Mobility, had been targets of lawsuits by Apple. In response, Google bought Motorola and its 17,000 patents (with 7,500 pending).

Stading said that all of the parties have been Cheap Christian Louboutinnotified of the ownership issues with the two patents. He said he wouldn't disclose if Innography was working with either side.

If the patents are found to be invalid, there's little HTC can do about it. The company would have to re-file its case using the other seven patents. Google and HTC also can't retroactively get the inventors' signatures.
