: 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.
Oh, I get it, you've just got a more discerning eye than Kevin. Or Oliver Stone. Or Francis Ford Coppola.
: 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.
Oh, I get it. You're insane. What I don't understand is how you can say she's bad in everything, since you clearly wouldn't continue to see her movies. Like, everything I've seen her in has been good because I don't go see her in shitty movies like "Angel Eyes" or "Enough" but good movies like "Out of Sight". You should try it.
: I think she's a terrible actress, as is Rosie Perez, as is Penelope Cruz.
Oh, I get it. You're a racist. "There are plenty of terrible actresses out there for us to hate in our country, why should we import them from other countries?"
And you've got an unhealthy fixation with Rosie Perez.
: 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.
: Then again, its merely a work of fiction. 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.
That was a great segue. And saying Lopez is box office poison implies that you think Kevin is only doing it for the money. If you're going to call him a sell out, then come out and say it.
: So for the record, i'm not bitching about her being cast, 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?
Oh, I get it, you're not bitching about her being cast, just bitching about her, basically.
You keep saying she's shown no talent ... which films are you talking about, exactly?
