I
just saw a commercial for the latest J-Lo bomb, Shall we
Dance but I think they forgot to add her to the trailer.
YEAH RIGHT, they are steering clear from even telling people
that Lopez has anything to do with the movie considering
she has had nothing but box office flops in recent
times. This poster also has no signs of the fly girl. Is
it just a small role or a cameo? I don't think it is because
the IMDB has her character listed right above Susan Sarandon,
who was in the trailer and just below Gere. Let us take
a look at her last 10 flicks, think about how rich she is
and all scratch our heads in unison.

Wow,
now that's pretty bad. I'll admit I have only seen 2 of
the above but I feel like those might have been a fair representation
as to what she had to offer in the past five years.
I
recently caught one of her appearances on "Inside The
Actor's Studio" and I seriously question whether she
is worthy of this "honor". In case you didn't
know, this is a highbrow talk show on Bravo where a scary
balding man with index cards, asks actors questions. Normally,
on any given episode, you can meet up with Oscar winners
and critically acclaimed actors such as James Caan, Glenn
Close, De Niro & Johhny Depp. So you can imagine my
surprise as I saw that one half of the artist formally know
as Bennifer, the laughing stock of the movie industry, would
be a guest. As
the show began and the questions began flying, you could
really see the insecure tone in her voice especially when
the subject of her early career came up. The bald dude asked
her about Money Train and Anaconda:
The
bald headed dude:
Officer Grace Santiago, In The Money Train...
J-Lo: Ughhh,
yes...
The bald headed dude:
That was a major role...
J-Lo: You
know what? If I tell you that I wasn't thrilled to get those
movies I'd be lying because I was. I was thrilled. They
weren't the greatest movies, and it's hard to make a great
movie, but I'm not here to make excuses or anything. But
I'm saying when you are an actor and you wanna work and
you want your chance to do whatever you take whatever they
give you. (a smug look appears on her face). And you love
it, and I loved it and I loved doing Money Train and I loved
doing Anaconda. (AUDIENCE CLAPS HA HA HA)
It
gets better. Baldie then asks her about the nude love scene
she did with Wesley Snipes for Money Train (her husband
Marc Anthony was in the front row btw).
The
bald headed dude: In the Money Train, was
the nude scene difficult or easy for you.
(they show a still with Wesley on top of her HA HA)
J-Lo: It was hard.
I
bet it was, BLECH. She then explains that since she was
a young actress, she couldn't turn down the scene and run
off to her trailer. If you catch a rerun of this show, watch
for how many times she does he stupid laugh, "huh heh"
and take not of how silent the audience is. There is almost
an air of tension or resentment. Remember, the audience
is filled with film school and acting students.
The
rest of the interview was filled with J-Lo's pretentious
self trying to sound down to Earth after a couple years
of being a diva and totally losing her sense of reality.
I wont be seeing this new flick of hers, but thankfully,
her current media tour to promote it has entertained me.
Thanks J-Lo!! |
