    Seeing Miss Jenifer so happy makes my heart smile. She is truly a treasure and we are blessed, blessed, blessed to have her.

    Ms. Lewis is a legend, it’s about damn time. Her “Oppressor Monilogue” on The Problem with Jon Stewart is perfection https://youtu.be/-9RP_BXCdCo

    I was terrified to view the Charles Barkley video because 2022 CB is very different than late 90s/2000s CB. But this is growth and I AM HERE FOR IT.

    Finally, every Canadian must love a Canadian Tuxedo….it’s in our Charter of Rights and Freedoms.

    I just recently saw a story about how Kim Kardashian is desperate to get a star on the walk of fame. They keep denying her. They told her they don’t give stars to “reality stars”. I wonder if this is the reason she’s dabbling in movies (animated so far). I wonder if Pete can help her land a role lol.

      That’s hilarious. Pretty sure they won’t give a star for any roles she’d be up for.

    Congratulations to Jennifer!!
    Her talents run the gamut, especially her depiction of motherhood and recently grand motherhood.
    Sexy as a ……

    I have referred to her as Aunt Jen for years. She’s lived a very filled life. Kudos on the star beautiful!

  6. Purley Pot says:

    Wonderful news. I love her. This is well deserved.

  7. HeyKay says:

    I enjoy her work, she is very talented, has lived thru some tough times, she deserves recognition. She is also very correct about voting. 😀

    Happy for her and highly recommend her memoir “Mother of Black Hollywood”.

    So many people here said the new Persuasion looked like it would be bad and I disagreed – and I was SO WRONG. I watched it and it’s truly terrible. So much worse than I was expecting!

    When they had said modern, I had originally thought they meant a modern-times adaptation, and that sounded cool. But it was just crappy modern slang with loosely inspired period outfits and it just mixed together terribly. I could go on and on with how bad it was, but won’t.

    I was warned here and just wanted to say that everyone who thought this adaptation would be sh!t, you were so so right. I hated it, and not even in a fun way.

    Maybe they’ll reconsider the Sarah Snook adaptation, fingers crossed 🤞

      I said in the henry golding post that I ended up liking the movie more than I had anticipated and i think that’s only because I went in expecting it to be the worst thing ever, so when it wasn’t as bad as 50 shades, I was like, oh, well okay, could be worse.

      But Kayleigh at Pajiba really nails so much of what went wrong with the movie –

      “The aching melancholy of Austen’s work, as well as its spark of humor” is completely missing, and that’s a problem.

      And this line –

      “Persuasion isn’t just bad because of its cavalier attitude towards its source material; it’s a poorly made film that saps one of the most beloved novels of the 19th century of everything that makes it so beloved.”

      That really sums it up. It’s not that they talk about 5s and 10s or that Anne keeps talking to the camera or whatever. It’s that it saps the story of everything that makes it Persuasion.

    That’s what we need:
    promote the vote

    Jennifer Lewis is one of our national treasures. So talented. It’s about time that she received some recognition.

  12. Ramona says:

    Love Jennifer ❤️ And she is so right about her message

    Everyone who never read a Jane Austen novel is up in arms:) I recall the vitriol when Pride and Prejudice was released a few years ago. I agreed that the awful winglet was distracting. But other than that – bring it on. I love to see any Austen rendition on screen. Just. Stop talking directly at the camera please.
    Do a voice over if necessary. I didn’t enjoy it in Mansfield Park and it truly missed the beat in this Persuasion.
    Not the best – not the worst – but watchable.
