I assume her skin-tight almost-nothing real costume is under the bulky coat.

I was expecting something errr... less clothing covered. Something like the header pic.

She eats??

Oh, it's melon. Nevermind. My mind was actually blown for a second there, though.

don't get the hate, she's beautiful, not very bright, not enough reasons to hate, but maybe that's just me.

[misogyny] Where are the tits!? [/misogyny]

Seriously though, since here creation in the comics, Emma Frost has had the ladies shelved up so high in a white leather corset, that you could eat afternoon tea off of them.

Don't get the hate either. She was great in The Three Burials of Melquiades Estrada and is really good on Mad Men. Betty Draper is the show's least sympathetic character - which is saying a lot considering what Don gets up to.

I'm looking forward to x-men first class mainly for James Mcavoy and Michael Fassbender (who is amaaaazing in Fish Tank and Hunger). Fingers crossed they pull it off.

she looks vaguely like sienna miller... not a compliment

I just have to finally say that I do not get the hate for January Jones. Yes, she was terrible on SNL - and SNL is generally awful. She isn't good at sketch comedy - in fact, she's terrible at it - but that doesn't mean she isn't a talented actress. She is AMAZING in Mad Men. Her character is repressed, yes, but go back and watch season 1 - look how she went from being open and loving, the woman Don described as "an angel" of a mother, to the her evolution into a bitter, wounded woman who takes all of her anger towards her husband out on her long-suffering children. She created this really difficult and often unpleasant character but brings enough to it that we still see how deeply Don hurt her behind the frigid mask. It is not an easy character to play, and people who assume it's a cakewalk of a role because Betty is so emotionally shut down now are totally missing the point.

That said, this costume looks ridiculous. Is this all a play on "Frost"? And after the travesty of X3, I'm veeeery wary, despite being kind of thrilled with some of the casting.

She IS dumb as a box of rocks! Anyone see her on SNL? By far the worst most dead-eyed performance ever!

Personally, I think Emma Frost's evolution from "evil" villain to pragmatic hero has been one of the best things in the X-Comics of the last 20 years. She's enabled and hardned Cyclops' character, particularly his leadership skills, in ways Jean never could (though, of course, I still love Jean). And I love that she's a take-no-prisoners badass while fighting the good fight. She's dark, but in a realistic way now, and not so much the cartoon she started as.

Granted, not everyone can write for her. Which means, naturally, that not everyone can play her. January Jones can handle the role, I think, but unfortunately I doubt she'll be all that memorable in it. After all, that hat is going to steal at least half of her scenes, even the ones where she isn't wearing it.

I think I'd like the Missus.

OFFICIAL PREDICTION: That jacket will come off to reveal her pristine white lingerie.

I co-sign Edith.

I agree with Edith... January Jones has got Betty down pat. I'm actually starting to like Betty this season, because Don's revealing himself to be a shitty father. Forgetting your one weekend with the kids that month because your on a drunken bender? Kids all excited and waiting for you for hours? Shitty.

I wouldn't go so far as to say I'm starting to like Betty - for the reasons Todd mentioned, and hundreds more. I'm just saying January Jones is a much better actress than people have given her credit for. As far as Betty goes, I'm convinced her terrible parenting of Sally is her way of lashing out at Don, especially since Sally has always been such a Daddy's girl.

Personally, I think Carla should get custody of the Draper kids. She's the only one who cares about them.

Wait, Betty slaps her daughter in the face for cutting her hair and threatens to cut off her fingers for masturbating, and Don's the lousy parent?

The two being lousy parents aren't mutually exclusive.

No, they're not, Amanda6. But I don't understand how anyone can say they like Betty more now because Don's neglectful, when Betty has crossed the line into actual physical abuse (to go along with her established inability/unwillingness to emotionally engage with the children on their level).

What she ^ said.

Betty was great for JJ. She's awful and scored a few more miles of coast.

Already hate the new x-men movie. Hate hate hate it. I'll give that X2 was acceptable, but the others I hate with the fire of the clan Askani.

"Yellow spandex," btw, is not a cutting counterpoint. Those are old comics. The new stuff and even some of the old stuff is super chic. Yeah, the White Queen's wardrobe up there-- horrendous. Though no X-men movie has had the otherworldy costume design necessary, neither have they had the execution from their fight choreographer. The nightcrawler/white house sequence remains the only awesome action scene in any x-men movie.

When I first saw this picture thought:

"Woah Betty Draper is going full 60s."

Sad that it's X-Men.

i'd put it in her butt...if only to see the face she makes...
