Nice to see constance wu in this. the movie at least has one box office draw now

Sure, because we all know that it was global box office megastar Constance Wu's presence (and not the immense popularity of the book "Crazy Rich Asians") what powered the box office of CRA, the film.

 

By the way, care to make a prediction for this too, like your "triumphant" prediction/club for Second Act?

i dont know cochofles, should I?? I actually dont know because cardi b is very relevant now so that could make it a hit combined with wu's bo power

 

the other girl, jennifer lopes or whatever who just released a single and it didnt even chart on spotify top 200 has no power.

what's up with Jlo's resurgence? Couldn't she be left in the early 2000s where she belongs? For a talentless person, she got lots of projects coming up. am i the only one who finds that weird? Insidious forces are at work here...

She is so talentless and irrelevant that, like you said yourself, she has all kinds of projects coming up (and still continues enjoying not just her 300-million-dollar-plus fortune but her fame) while you and Tombraider are sitting at home, furiously typing away, bothered by her "irrelevance" and "lack of talent"

hey cocho (, i didn't say she's irrelevant, just talentless. plenty of people devoid of talent have made in HW.

 

but please, enjoy her trash movies

This began shooting not even four weeks ago. Is this the fastest turnaround ever for a major release, give or take the Christopher Plummer cut of All the Money in the World? Pretty sure even Clint Eastwood hasn't cranked out a movie in less than half a year.

If JLo was a white man no one would be questioning her talents. She would be considered an inspiration.

 

JLo came from nothing, she had a dream of becoming a star, and she made it happen.

 

No one handed it to her, she worked hard for it, and she earned it. It's one of the greatest success stories in Hollywood.

While the haters keep lamenting her Hollywood success and clamoring for her to remain in the 2000s (all while they sitting in front of their laptops in their sad studio apts or basements), she continues making insane amounts of money and enjoying her fame, wealth, and success. Oh, and they know who she is, but she has no clue that they even exist.

she's a millionare and obsessed with fame so she pays to be everywhere. she'll always be a joke anyway. shes like a kim k who tries to sing and act but is awful at both.

 

as the talented mariah carey said, the world 'doesnt know her'

Why is Jennifer Lopez the hill so many people on this board choose to die on? Either defending or hating on her  

 

She's successful. Some people like her, some people don't. Wow, it's not like that is unlike ANY other singer/actor.

She isnt. she was succesful from 98 to 06 or so with a couple exceptions in 13 years (on the floor). the fact that shes 50 and is doing embarrassing lifetime movies (simple act) says that much about her talent and artistry

Jennifer Lopez actually does possess acting talent, she just finds herself 100% of the time stuck with material beneath her. Which seems to have been her choice in embracing the tabloid friendly side of fame (a choice that seems to have worked out just fine for her if you ask me), but watch her earlier work like Selena or Out of Sight from before she officially became the JLo we all know today and you'll see that the potential was definitely there.

hmm, aight you tell yourself she isn't talented and go be in those "lifetime" movies yourself if the directors are willing to hire you

[Plain Old Tele]

These arguments are so petty. Of course JLo is a huge name and a star. That doesn't mean you have to like her or her movies.

Can't wait for the Hustlers weekend thread to be interspersed with Napoleon and TombRaider whining to each other about J-Lo for 8 pages, while everyone else is trying to talk about It 2's second weekend.

The Goldfinch comes out the same weekend. The JLo and Ansolo stans and anti-stans are about to turn this place into the ending of Infinity War.
