: I dont think anyone is angry for her being cast, just that she has such an incredibly pathetic body of work, and has not shown the level of talent required for a dialogue driven film like Kevin's. I'm not throwing blame at Kevin. Obviously he thinks there is something he can do with her, but i am extremely skeptical of her ability.
She's a good enough actress that Steven Soderbergh, Oliver Stone, and Francis Ford Coppola all wanted her in films of theirs.
: Much like Rosie PErez, i have never seen J-Lo in a movie that hasnt irritated me to the point of punching her in the throat.
What does Rosie Perez have to do with any of this?
: I think she's a terrible actress, as is Rosie Perez, as is Penelope Cruz. Although you have to wonder why Kevin has written a movie about his experiences as a father, and cast the part of his WASP-y wife with a latino actress of a very limited range. Then again, he cast Affleck as himself. Denial aint just a river in Egypt my brother.
Oh, I get it, you just hate all hispanic actresses.
Jersey Girl isn't biographical. The female character is a hispanic woman.
: Then again, its merely a work of fiction.
Knowing this, why did you make those above statements? Is it because you're a douchebag?
: Still, Lopez is box office poison. Her last few films have done miserably at the box office (Angel Eyes and Enough), and she has a penchant for picking bad films. Maybe Jersey Girl will change all that.
Maybe is a good word for you. Maybe you should shut up, and trust Kevin since he seems to know what he's doing when it comes to making movies. Maybe you should stop bitching about an actress in a role you know nothing about in a movie you know nothing about.
: So for the record, i'm not bitching about her being cast,
Yes you are.
: just the fact that her body of work sucks and she hasnt shown any sort of talent other than making 14 year old boys want to masturbate. And can that really be classified as a talent?
Maybe her body of work sucks because Hollywood doesn't offer good roles to women, and she's a Hispanic woman, making it that much harder to get good roles.
