Sadly, it's on another board so I've linked it below.
Still, I could save you a click or two by admitting that I mostly liked it (loved Lillard...he was to Scooby as Nicholson was to Keaton).
Any doubts I had were tipped by the twist climax.
Good Lord, was that a doozy or what?
: I rather liked "Scooby Doo."
Ah, how could you not?
: Yes - Jennifer Lopez is still in "Jersey Girl."
...a creative decision, like any other, that you never should've had to defend.
Man, oh man!
It's not even as if the naysayers have any real arguement to make. This outrage smacks of mob mentality at someone who is beautiful, talented and genuinely untouchable. The fact that one might sense a twinge of racism and misogyny in the protests makes them just that much more ugly!
I don't know Ms. Lopez as a person, but I know her work...and I KNOW she doesn't deserve the shit people are saying about her.
