: I've thought so pretty much all my life, but getting to "talk" to you since
I've been on this board, it's been reinforced. I know you're not fishing
for compliments; it's freely given. :-)
: I hope that other reds follow suit and provide us with bios. I mean, if
we're willing to babble about who we are, when most likely no one
much cares, then they, who we who are not famous wish to know
more about, should do the same... yes? No?
****maybe the real-busy truly famous are tired of making their lives
into little patties to be fried by the media, so when they (if they) get
here they are all tuckered out and just want to look at us all through
their headshot photos, grateful for a breather....I bet Carlin would if he
were here, or the J.G. cast folks...maybe they are too busy working to
post...
: I'd be lying if I said I weren't leery of JG. But I'd also be lying if I said I
wasn't going to go see it, just because of my own predispositions
regarding J-Lo. It's a Kevin Smith film, thus, I will see it. And I will
endeavor not to let my preconceptions skew my opinion. My major
problem with it is that she's not, in fact, from NJ... I think I can get past
that.
***The character J-Lo plays may not be from Jersey. I identify with
her because she is/was a dancer, and I was once one....all those
hours of hard work in the studio. Amy Noble knows.And Jennifer
Lopez broke through the ethnic cage in which her Latina sisters were
imprisoned forever (Katy Jurado, Chita Rivera, Rita Moreno) in part,
perhaps, (i originally wrote berhabs: maybe we've gone through the
Looking Glass and don't know it?) by force of sheer will.....and that
cage needed to be broken....and I can't help but wonder what it costs
the break-through people in backlash. Broke through to starring
roles , I mean.
