Why do they insist?

Why do studios insist on putting Jennifer Lopez in their movies... the latest being Netflix? She is one of the worst actors ever... she couldn't act if they paid her to... and they pay her a lot!

One of the great mysteries of our time. Guess she draws in the viewers or they wouldn’t keep doing it.

@OlderSometimesWiser I watched her in one movie and swore, never again, but I have tried a few times... nope, my original thought was the right one.
@Ontheroad I feel the same way about Julia Roberts. Every movie all she does is act like…. Julia Roberts. Absolutely no capacity for disappearing into a role, like a Meryl Streep or Julianne Moore. Meryl in “Sophie’s Choice” and Julianne in “Still Alice” had me in a puddle of tears. Julia in “Eat, Pray, Love” or “Erin Brockovich?” 😒

@OlderSometimesWiser What actor does stand up against Meryl? She is a legend. Julianne Moore has had some good ones, but some bad ones too... or at least some I wasn't impressed by, but Meryl is aces even in her worst movies.

Julia isn't the actress either of them are, but there is something about her... maybe her rawness, that makes me want to see her movies.
@Ontheroad Methinks you just like Julia Roberts. 😍

@OlderSometimesWiser welllllllllllllllll, there is that😁
@Ontheroad Ain’t no shame in that game, I like Hugh Jackman’s “rawness” too. 🤣
