kaeh1213 Posted October 2, 2018 Share Posted October 2, 2018 They place Janet in the Top Ten. I’d rank her higher, of course http://www.vulture.com/2018/10/lady-gaga-star-is-born-pop-stars-film-debuts-ranked.html 9. Janet Jackson — Poetic Justice (1993)She didn’t win “Most Desirable Female” at the MTV Movie Awards for nothing! (A different time, 1993.) And there’s plenty more to budding bard Justice than her looks. Jackson makes her out to be a fully rounded, substantive young woman capable of introspection, dysfunction, independence, and affection, of messing up and learning and getting tougher the way adults in training do. She and a trio of friends — most notably a magnetic Tupac Shakur as Lucky — make the drive from South Central L.A. up to Oakland, and the lower stakes of their destination befit the more low-key profundity of the wisdom they gain along the way. Justice isn’t headed for stardom, just a hairdressing convention, and rather than anything as trite as “follow your dreams,” Jackson locates the more satisfying pearl of “in a brutal world, hold on to whoever you can.” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rock & Roll Hall of Game Posted October 2, 2018 Share Posted October 2, 2018 It’s a joke that they put Wiz ahead of Janet or Madonna Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jarrylf Posted October 3, 2018 Share Posted October 3, 2018 They put "Carmen a Hip-hopera" over Poetic Justice.......over Poetic Justice......in what universe, and it's not even a Beyonce dig, it's a "That was a mess & nobody talks/thinks about that mess" dig. Janet deserved top 3, she's a better actress than Whitney but The Bodyguard is brilliant in that it's selling you Whitney's best asset her voice, and her appearance throughout the whole movie, so based on that I can see why it's 2nd, but um Poetic Justice was legitimately a good movie, and though Janet's performance I don't think owned the movie (she shared best performance with Pac & Regina easily, if anyone says they think either of them did better than Janet I always get it), but the movie is legitmately a better & more iconic movie than most of the rankings on the list period. Diana's #1 is as deserved as that Oscar nomination tho 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black Eagle Posted October 3, 2018 Share Posted October 3, 2018 They were generous giving her a top 10 ranking tbh. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dal Posted October 4, 2018 Share Posted October 4, 2018 I would’ve been fine with this had they put Britney and Beyonce below Janet and left everyone else higher than her still higher than her Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bailey Posted October 4, 2018 Share Posted October 4, 2018 can I play devil's advocate for just a moment? Maybe the problem is in our minds (Wendy voice) "Poetic Justice" the movie is better than the rankings, and not Janet's acting itself Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
