Reese Witherspoon was so ditzy!

Ok, after watching the episode on Thursday night, I must say that this role for Reese isn't too good. I really think it kind of ruins her, and I have mixed feelings about having her in that role. She played the ditzy character well, which means she is a good actress.... but, after watching Cruel Intentions, it's like watching two different people (yes, I understand they are two different characters). I liked the Reese in Cruel Intentions much better (let's forget about all those independent films). As I was watching FRIENDS, that's the one I expected to see. Instead, I nwas shocked. Well, just figure I would add my two cents. -Dan-

Sorry, but once she was cast for the character of Jill, it was pretty much a fait acompli because that character has already been described on screen several times, pretty much the way Reese played her. This was not a new character as yet undeveloped, in other words.

Let's see, the only reference that pops to mind for me is TOW The Two Parties in season 2 where Rachel had to attend Jill's graduation, but there must be other references, aren't there?

Why? We've heard before that Rachel's sisters aren't nice people. If Reece got on your nerves, she did exactly what she should have done. I thought she was *great* - but then, I've never seen her in anything else, so I had no preconceived notions of how she should behave. Best piece of Friends celebrity casting in several years.

I thought she was great too. The weird thing is that Reese kept saying, "Write me like I was in Election," and all the writers were like, "Um, but you're in Friends now." I'm glad they didn't go with her idea - I'm not even sure how that would have gone... :) Of course I should really see part two before judging.

Actually, now that I think about it, from what I've seen of the trailer for 614, she *does* seem to be written a little like I gather her character was in Election. Hmmmm.

When did she keep saying that?

When? Did you want like a specific date? I'm assuming at a table read or two, but I can't tell you which one(s).

I was just wondering, because I'd not heard that before.

Well, that would have helped slightly. :)

Sorry to change the subject slightly, but ditzy? Is that a word?

Ian Gibbs had this to say:

ditz = airhead = bimbo.

If ditz is a noun meaning a vacuous person, then ditzy is the adjective that one would use to describe such a person.
