: : First off, I just want to say congrats to Kevin on having the balls to cast someone that he probably knew he'd draw a shitstorm of criticism for on this very board. Personally, I haven't been wowed by her in anything I've seen, but I haven't been disappointed either.
: : I'd like to also remind the board that everyone also threw a fit about a lot of the casting for J&SBSB.... whining about how he "sold out" by casting some of the American Pie crew... saying they weren't going to see the movie (judging from the box office receipts, some of you probably didn't).... fact is, the man knows what he is doing. I remember reading how Shannon Elisabeth was going to ruin the movie... I thought he got a pretty good performance out of her, and some very, very funny shit with the other two American Pie guys. He may not be a great visually gifted director, but he can coax great performances!
: : Also, Kevin, I really liked your response to the woman questioning putting a sexy JLo in your film. You catch a ton of shit, but you always are polite enough to state your opinion, and not just say "because I said so, fuck off" like the rest of the board. It's kind of the reason I just come here to see if either you or Lee has posted anything recently, and ignore most of the other crap littering the post board.
