In a candid conversation between Lawrence and Viola Davis from Variety, Lawrence made a shocking statement about female leads in action films. While discussing Viola's work in The Woman King, Lawrence remarked that "nobody had ever put a woman in the lead of an action movie" before The Hunger Games. She elaborates on how people are often defined by gender, pigeonholing them into certain types of roles.

Yep, Underworld, Resident Evil, Alien, Red Sonja, Kill Bill, and so many others never happened.

Why would you tell such lies in a candid interview

 

[Elder Legend]

Dumb lying bitch. Just needs to stir controversy because no one is talking about her anymore or gives any shits. People will lie for the publicity when they are desperate. Fuck her.

woah chill out man

[Lasha]

Kinda proves the point that we should not listen to celebrities. If an actor is so misinformed about their own field then why trust their opinion on anything else?

 

[Lukaku's First Touch]

Wasn't she also the lead in that movie 'The fappening'?

Lol I was just gonna quote these movies.

TF is wrong with Jennifer?

 

[Aesius]

Executive produced by Harvey Weinstein

 

[Pejo]

'The fappening'?

MAN, that takes me back.

 

[The ninja farmer]

The long kiss good night springs to mind

But someone has a new movie to push, so soundbites to get conversations started are par for the course.

Nothing to really see here

(Red Sonja was also a good call , although I think the studio insisted on having ‘Conan’ in it. Maybe a lack of faith in a woman leading a film, called red Sonja )

 

[Doom85]

Yep…Resident Evil…never happened.

I mean, I certainly can empathize with wanting to pretend the Milla Jovovich Resident Evil “adaptations” never happened…..

Hey now. Jennifer Lawerence had the first period in an action movie.

 

[Elder Legend]

woah chill out man

Chill on what? Stating the facts ? Does me talking crap about a celebrity personally offend you or something? I am just stating how redicilous she is with her dumb statement and why she said what she said.

 

[DeepEnigma]

Wasn’t she a Weinstein jumpstart?

 

[Werewolf Jones]

Wasn’t she a Weinstein jumpstart?

I mean her roles dried up once he got taken out so...

 

[Kamina]

Wasn't she also the lead in that movie 'The fappening'?

And what a lead she was. I like to revisit this great form of acting from time to time.

 

[DeepEnigma]

I mean her roles dried up once he got taken out so...

Notice a pattern in their character whenever they open their mouths.

 

[HoodWinked]

what a truly modern day Jackie Robinson.

though I cannot deny one of the greatest moments.

 

[ChorizoPicozo]

She is just a normal human being you know.

 

[DeepEnigma]

She is just a normal human being you know.

Barely making ends meat.

 

[ChorizoPicozo]

Barely making ends meat.

But I saw those naked leak pics from her.

 

[DeepEnigma]

But I saw those naked leak pics from her.

 

[ChorizoPicozo]

Don't judge me by my cover. I have feelings too...horny feelings that is.

 

[bender]

Steven Seagal says "hello", Jennifer.

 

[MayauMiao]

That tells you how isolated these people are from reality.

 

[Kilau]

I wouldn't even consider The Hunger Games to be an action movie.

 

[winjer]

She is not very bright...

 

[Spaceman292]

Sounds like you're the one more personally affected by this.

 

[Elder Legend]

Sounds like you're the one more personally affected by this.

So me stating that the celebrity is saying stupid shit because she wants publicity means that I am personally affected by it? Damn dude, nice 6D chess you got there. On the ignore list you go.

 

[Drew1440]

This is modern Hollywood marketing
1. Have the actor/director say something uninformed
2. People (mainly fans) criticise it
3. React about the backlash and abuse, maybe even cherrypick a few abusive tweets as death threats and claim they are from the alt-right
4. Hope people see the movie?

It's just tiring at this point

 

[Alex Anderson]

The first reply should have been that "Yeah, OK" thumbs up gif

 

[Dev1lXYZ]

Be kind to Jennifer, she didn’t even make it to ninth grade in school.

 

[AJUMP23]

This is celebrity in a nutshell. They always think they are trailblazers or the first no matter what.

 

[Days like these...]

Aliens instantly popped into my mind.

 

[cash_longfellow]

Jennifer trying to make herself relevant again…I see what’s happening here. I give it about 6 months before another nude picture “leak”

 

[nush]

Foxy Brown (1974)

I see you are a man of culture.

 

[Giallo Corsa]

Chill Out with the overall negative and aggressive attitude , it's not about J Lawrence , your every other post is you hurling insults/epithets at other members you don't agree with ("cunt", "idiot", "lol serves you well" etc etc).

I mean, maybe you got stuff happening right now in your life my man but, for fuck's sake , just try to take it easy and not be so aggressive and obnoxious towards, well, pretty much everyone, it just gets tiring - not to mention - incredibly obnoxious/irritating after a while.

Take a break and/or a deep breath bro, no need to be angry all the time.
Cheers

 

[OmegaSupreme]

Jenifer you ignorant slut

 

[chromhound]

 

[Elder Legend]

Aliens instantly popped into my mind.

lol same here and that's an ancient movie at this point.

 

[Goalus]

I would love to see her in a movie with Brie Larson where they portray two strong, independent women. Prior to release they should attack the male audience on Twitter and call out any mansplaining that might unfold in the replies.

 

[Thaedolus]

Wasn't she also the lead in that movie 'The fappening'?

I remember that one more than anything else she’s been in…

…anyway time to grab my Samus plushie and watch some Aliens

 

[RAÏSanÏa]

That would imply she had done no research on other women leads for her work.

The IP versus actor debate in modern film gets a fascinating contribution.

 

[Bragr]

Linda Hamilton is pretty much the lead in Terminator 2.

But Aliens is the elephant, its a top tier franchise.

I can forgive comments in an interview, not a big deal. I cant even imagine all the stupid shit I would say, its just annoying thay she paints herself as a feminist icon of sorts for playing in a bunch of shitty movies.

 

[jason10mm]

1968

And I don't even gotta dig deep into exploitation films!
