What "feminist" has "never had a female role model"????
Oh crap, kill me now. Everybody's a "feminist"... even women who can't find one god damn female role model out of the 2.whatever billion women there are on this planet.
Holy Crap.
As someone else who considers themself a feminist I think that J-Lo should go shake her ass if that is what she wants to do. And act up a storm if she can. That is the whole idea... have the opportunity to do what you can do, and what you want to do, try what you want to try. Even do something that you want to do-- but can't, and fall on your face... c'est la vie.
It is Kevin's damn movie and he should cast whomever he feels is best suited for the role. He's done a pretty fandamntastic job so far. If you don't like it, then don't watch it. Everyone is taking issue to this like Kevin was planning on casting Freddie Prinze Jr. as Fletch.
I am not a fan of J-Lo's music, but her acting is a different story. I am not a fan of her purported divadom - 12 white sofas thing, but that doesn't have anything to do with her acting.
Kevin- great response to Jeweliet's post. Right on the money with the Damon/Affleck suckdick analogy, I'm sure Jeweliet's mom's neck would get a good stomping if D/A ever came in range.
