: You shouldn'y worry what anybody says to you here. It seems that most of the folks here never leave, so when somebody who hasn't spent the last three years in front of their computer asks a question that said folks have already discussed, they get mad. BOY, do they get mad. I guess they think it is your problem that you didn't bother to pour through the last two months of archives to find out the going opinion of J-Lo.
Dude, a cursory glance at any board since the announcement of it as a possibility would show the prevailing opinion on J-Lo. It ain't like people were asking him to read the summaries or anything.
: But, hey, if you don't want it to happen again, you better stay here all night tonight, and tommorow, and the next day/night, because if you don't, "they" may talk about something you want to know about, and then will just get mad at you when you ask again. Que chistoso!
Or a person could look at the board before they post and see what's been said on the board for the past day or two. Not this board, 'cause this one is new. But in general.
By the way, you seem to be pretty expert in the ways of the board for somebody who looks down on people who are here all the time.
: I agree with you though. J-lo is crap if you ask me. How do you put out a cd without EVER performing live, even ONCE? I'll tell ya how, you get new fandangled microphones and pay other singers to do the work for you. Then, you get as many pictures of yourself as you can, and put them on the album cover. Her ass sold more records than most good singers vocal chords.
You also seem to know a whole hell of a lot about J.Lo for somebody who hates her. Who cares if she can sing or not? I bet that won't affect her acting performance in Kevin's non-musical film.
: And nobody has mentioned the hit movie ANACONDA as one of her shining moments. Oh, wait, they probably did, let me spend an hour digging through the archives...
That's because "Anaconda" is generally regarded as one of those "better than it should be" movies that doesn't really warrant criticism. If you like that type of movie, you'll like that movie [apparently, I haven't seen it]. Also, people tend to like Owen Wilson, and accusing J.Lo of some cinematic crime for being in "Anaconda" -- before she was a star -- would force them to criticize him for the same. What's next? Are you going to criticize her for choosing, as a rising starlet, to appear opposite Robin Williams in a Francis Ford Coppola movie just because it turned out to be "Jack"?
Incidentally, when I was double-checking to make sure that she did do "Anaconda" before she was a star -- which she did -- I found out that she has, indeed, performed live, thus making you an idiot.
