I don't know what sort of alternate universes you chumps are trying to create up in here. The truth is out and and easy enough for anybody to see if they bothered to look. Your complaints are on par with those folks that are trying to pretend Arnold Schwarzeneggar is a real person that has starred in actual movies, like T2 or Predator, but even Google set us right on those scores... same as it does here.

Can confirm. Same results here.
I think it's time to shut it down...shut it all down.
Can you report Google for fake news?

Yikes. Not a good look.
That being said:
The dude you posted is a literal part of that process, he monetized outrage on a regular basis, and his thumbnail is character from a show but hes trying to insinuate all movies are bad now(lol)
Hes just as bad as Jennifer. I ostracized both of them for this.

She didn’t star in them, for her they might as well not exist.
Because there are no facts anymore, everything is an opinion. Your opinion is that she lied, she feels differently.

Google search is personalized to your history with them. Open up a new browser and you'll get a different result. For reference, I'm getting a movie from 1979 called Alien

Hollywood actors are just people, and the average person is pretty fucking dumb. So while that group of people has the pretense of being enlightened individuals, most of them are simply dumb as fuck. Guided through life by assistants and managers.
If any, this feels like a quote from someone who just isn't really all that smart.

""Nobody had ever put a woman in the lead of an action movie" before The Hunger Games."
That is not an opinion. It is also not true

She isn't misinformed. She knows very well about all the female action heroes before her. But she chooses to erase them and pretend they don't exist. That's her intended message.
It's a trick, straight from 1984. Hollywood SJWs try to erase the "racist past" all the time, it's not a first. Its similar to the "first black hero" bullshit. Remember, everything before 2014 was racist, sexist, etc, you can't source any good examples from back then.
The point of all this is maybe if they do it often and for long enough, people will eventually believe them. And maybe then we will all forget or ignore all the classic movies from the past, so they can lower the bar for all the trash they produce now.

Maybe someone who had a very close relationship with Harvey Weinstein during a time when it would have been impossible not to be aware of the type of man he was, should probably keep quiet when it comes to female representation in cinema.
Just a thought, Jen.

He really doesn’t. No one forgot that movies like Aliens exists, it’s why everyone is having a laugh at JL’s expense.
Referencing 1984 over a dumb celebrity saying a dumb thing is certainly an internet forum moment.

Its probably a faux pas but I cant shake the feeling thats how the majority of women her age think. They've lived sheltered lives being told that they are victims of toxic masculinity and they simply believe it.
In her case, she probably went through a lot of bs to get to where she is now. She was besties with Harvey so god knows what he put her through.

That's surprisingly out of touch for someone who works in film, especially when even casual filmgoers can think of examples to prove her wrong. I'd read to see if there's some important context, but I don't want to give ScreenRant the click, or the attention, since I largely regard them as a clickbait content farm.

She just doesn't get it at all. I like several of her projects but she comes across as someone who is always put off about something, especially when it's about her.
Her comments about weight loss are so disingenuous. Tons of men have lost or gained weight for roles.
She was not a good representation of Katniss physically. Completely lost the point of why the books were called hunger games. She comes across as selfish too often and then tries to backtrack and goes too far in the other direction

Yeah. I really don't blame her but she deserves some ridicule and correction for the comments. You see this kind of sentiment repeated everywhere these days.

The person that did this interview is a giant pussy for not immediately calling her out on that take.

""Goodbye! I want to circle back to you being “The Woman King.” I remember when I was doing “Hunger Games,” nobody had ever put a woman in the lead of an action movie because it wouldn’t work — because we were told girls and boys can both identify with a male lead, but boys cannot identify with a female lead. And it just makes me so happy every single time I see a movie come out that just blows through every one of those beliefs, and proves that it is just a lie to keep certain people out of the movies. To keep certain people in the same positions that they’ve always been in."
Sounds like something someone told her.
Seems blown out of proportion, which is par for the course on the internet.

Ah yes, no critical thinking - the best there is.
Come on now i refuse to believe that in her life she hasn't seen ANY action movie with a female lead. ANY!

Used to everyone agreeing and nodding their head to every dumb thing she says, so they don't lose a paycheck. This can do a number on people's sense of reality.
I mean. . .you don't even have to "Google" to know this is complete and utter nonsense. Like you don't even have go all the way back to the ALIEN franchise. Inarguably, one of the greatest action movies of the modern era is KILL BILL. . .and they made TWO of them. Both highly reviewed, highly rewatchable and kinda front-loaded on female kick-assery (the entirety of KB1 is about kickass lady assassins murdering each other).
. . .it's just such a pointless statement that someone as savvy as JL should have known was horseshit.

It's stupid but best to ignore like 99.99% of anything an actor or actress saids while not acting.
