An entire decade may have passed since the debut of Fox's sudsy teen drama "The O.C.," but we're willing to bet many a TV watcher still thinks of actor Adam Brody as loveable geek Seth Cohen. If you're among those nodding in agreement, prepare to feel ... uncomfortable.

Brody plays porn star Harry Reems (formerly known as "Dick Long") in the '70s-era Linda Lovelace biopic And you better believe he's got the chest hair and pornstache to prove it.

The film follows Linda Lovelace (Amanda Seyfried) as she enters the adult entertainment industry at the behest of her husband and self-appointed manager Chuck Traynor (Peter Sarsgaard), and chronicles the abuse she endures before renouncing the business that made her a star in films like "Deep Throat."

With the film's limited release on Friday, MTV News has gotten its hands on an exclusive clip from the drama, which finds Brody's polyester-clad Harry consoling an apprehensive Linda before their first scene together.

"I'm a little nervous. I've never had lines to talk before," Linda tells Harry.

"We got the best job in the world," Harry assures her. "We just tune everybody out. Live in the moment like we're the only two people on the planet."

Well, if that's all there is to it...

Of course, in real life, Seyfried doesn't necessarily share Harry Reems' sentiments regarding porn, especially as it relates to the treatment of women.

"Knowing now what Linda had gone through and what a lot of people have gone through — still, around the world today, much less so in the United States ...

Even if "Matt Damon, Jodie Foster) and an even bigger budget, the post-apocalyptic sci-fi film can't avoid comparison to director Neill Blomkamp's first film — "District 9." The 2009 film came out of nowhere to wow audiences with a fresh concept (aliens land on Earth and are forced to live in an internment camp in South Africa) from a first time director. Blomkamp's follow-up, "Elysium," offers similar social commentary packaged in a summer blockbuster's trappings — with a summer blockbuster's budget.

Damon plays Max DeCosta, an ex-con and factory worker who barely survives living in the slum that Earth has become. His only hope of surviving a deadly disease lies on Elysium, the orbiting space station paradise reserved for the rich and only the rich. Foster plays Elysium's Secretary of Defense, who will stop at nothing to keep the unwanted dregs of Earth from reaching Elysium. Critics still laud Blomkamp as a visionary filmmaker, one who shows remarkable talent given his short resumé, even if the metaphors in both of his films closely resemble each other.

Read on for a sample of what the critics are saying about "Elysium."

Timely Social Commentary
"This kind of haves vs. have-nots future has been a staple of cinematic science fiction from Fritz Lang's 'Metropolis' in 1927. But Blomkamp makes it a truly angry commentary on the arrogance of the 1 Percent, restrictive immigration policies, and the lack of universal health care... Still, for all its flaws, 'Elysium' is an often-absorbing and largely entertaining film from a young director with a great future." — Charlie McCollum, ...

Hollywood loves a good comeback story. Just look at Robert Downey Jr., who went from doing prison time and almost losing his promising career because of substance abuse issues to a remarkable rebound to the top of the game and a billion-dollar franchise in "Iron Man."

Following her release from a court-mandated 90-day rehab stint
 last week, many are wondering if, after years of legal and substance abuse issues, Lindsay Lohan is finally ready for her close-up again. If this time it's for real, MTV News asked some experts what steps Lohan should take to earn her way back at the box office and stay healthy doing it?

"The most important thing for Lindsay to do is focus on her sobriety," said veteran casting director Marci Liroff, who cast Lohan in "Freaky Friday" and "Mean Girls."

"I don't think she should be concerned right now with what her next big movie is," she added. "It's really, really hard to stay sober and she has to want to focus on her sobriety."

Liroff, who said she has a personal investment and concern about Lohan's health and success due to her previous work with the former child star, said Hollywood and Lohan should both wait before throwing her fully back into the game. Lohan made her first tentative steps back on Monday night, when she hosted a well-received episode of the E! talk show "Chelsea Lately," where she poked fun at herself and 1D's Harry Styles

While the road to a possible collaboration has been bumpy, to say the least, The Wanted's Nathan Sykes reveals that he wouldn't rule out working with One Direction in the future.

"You never know, you never know! I think with Backstreet Boys and New Kids [On The Block], that's really cool what they did, and there's been some great collaborations. You never know," Sykes told MTV News during a game of golf to celebrate the release of their new Word of Mouth single,

The guys are throwing their feud behind them, Sykes said.

"I think both ourselves and One Direction are, as far as I'm concerned, whatever kinds of words were said since I wasn't really part of it, think it kind of [went away now,] which is awesome," he said in between putts. "I think it's the best people really concentrate on the success that we're both having and how well [we're doing,] which is always great."

Both the Wanted and 1D rose to pop superstardom by dropping debut singles in the U.S. in 2012. From there, they quickly rose to household name status and, yes, engaged in some friendly rivalry. With both groups prepping album releases for later this year, Sykes explains why boy bands are here to stay. And it has a lot to do with "radio hits."

"I think ourselves and One Direction have done really well to make sure the music stands up on its own," he said. "And I think with boy bands it's very easy for people to say 'Oh, they ...
