Got a chuckle out of Variety's article about Jessica Alba's new role:
Jessica Alba will topline modern-day fable "An Invisible Sign of My Own." ... "Invisible" revolves around a young woman who has retreated from the world and is consumed by numbers and math. Things begin to change when she becomes a second-grade math teacher.
I'm having a hard time picturing Jessica Alba as someone who's consumed with numbers and math. Consumed with getting manicures and buying shoes maybe. Consumed with denying her ethnic heritage. Consumed with boring the living piss out of anyone with an IQ over 75 every time she pops up on a movie screen. All these would be credible possibilities for an Alba role. But some kind of reclusive math genius? Um...no.

Why do producer keep casting her in serious roles like that or all kind of roles for that matter. Apart from Sin City(in wich she had a small role), everything that came out with her name on it flopped, I just dont get it.
It's like they're so out of touch, they think she's still hot but she's gone now.
How does this bitch continue to make a living in hollywood. Who actually believes she can act. Do people actually say, hey lets go see albas performance.
Crabbie, this is indeed awful, awful casting but:
I humbly submit the casting of Denise Richards as a nuclear physicist (or something like that) in one of the James Bond movies.
Also, Tara Reid was cast as some sort of super smart scientist in "Alone in the Dark" which is in the top 3 worst movies I have seen in my life.
Don't you guys get it??? This is Hollywood. To producers a major plot change is when she finally "gets it" and starts teaching math in a thong bikini and a whip. Those little fuckers will be doing quadratic equations with a sharpie on her ass within an hour. Then Meryl Streep will show up and kiss her ass and give her an Oscar.
I'm glad my daughter is in the 3rd grade.
Although. Some classes in 2nd grade math do not go much beyond 2+2=4. So, that really wouldn't be a stretch. Maybe she is striving to find out that 3+3=6. That would be a whole new adventure. And much more believable.
She got the job from being on her knees.
