: You see... She (J-Lo) is a POP ICON and therefore doesn't seem to fit into the whole "Cult" film genre.
: She's known for her Mega-Hollywood performances, whereas Kevin is known for his off color humor and his shoestring budgets.
If you're going to complain about what she's *known* for, as opposed to what she's *best* at, then I would say that in the minds of 99 out of 100 filmgoers, Ben Affleck is the guy from Armageddon and Pearl Harbor (and, by the time the movie actually comes out, The Sum Of All Fears, Daredevil, and maybe Changing Lanes). People don't think of Shakespeare in Love (not that I like that movie very much either), and few would think of Good Will Hunting (esp. as it isn't "his" movie), and only the people on this board would be likely to think of Kevin's movies immediately.
