Yeah that's a real killer for me. For the longest time, I was convinced she was legally insane and has the mind of a child. Twenty years and many tv shows, movies and band appearances later and I believe my original assumption I made during Cape Fear was true, she is a very unlikable adult child who's most likely mentally unstable.

Completely agreed. Sad that they had to throw her into the mix...I don't think I can watch her on a weekly basis. I had hopes for this one too...

10 years on the run from the mob turned Abby McDeere into a crazy coke head?

I don't think she's Abby, I think she's the girlfriend of Ray, Keith Rennie's character.

The receptionist played by Holly Hunter in the movie then?

Yup, Walt was right she's not his wife....

Juliette Lewis Joins NBC's 'The Firm'

Juliette Lewis has signed on to star in NBC's midseason series The Firm, which stars Josh Lucas in the legal drama based on the film adaptation of the John Grisham novel that had Tom Cruise in the lead role of young lawyer Mitch McDeere. Lewis will play Tammy, the sassy secretary to Lucas' McDeere that was played by Holly Hunter in the movie (she was nominated for a Best Supporting Actress Oscar for that role). The casting follows the news that Callum Keith Rennie has joined the series playing Mitch's brother Ray, who does investigative work for Mitch. The series picks up 10 years after McDeere brought down the prestigious law firm that operated as a front for the Chicago mob. After a difficult decade, he and his family emerge from isolation to reclaim their lives and their future -- only to find that past dangers are still lurking and new threats are everywhere. The Firm is produced by Entertainment One in association with Sony Pictures Television Networks and Paramount Pictures. The executive producers are Grisham, Lukas Reiter, John Morayniss, Michael Rosenberg and Noreen Halpern. David Straiton will direct the pilot, which begins production in August in Toronto.

Well she IS a Scientologist, so....

lol at people liking the story, author, and two main actors, but one supporting actress kills all love for the project.

Jamie Foxx completely killed all my love for Djanjo Unchained and I love every single other cast member and the writer/director. So it's nothing new for me.

Something about her just bothers me and she nearly kills everything for me when she's in it. I think the only time I liked her was in Christmas Vacation, and she was passable at best in that.

Oh I'm not really a fan of hers either. There's a few films here and there that I liked and thought she was decent in (Strange Days mainly) but she's definitely kind of off the wall batshit crazy.

But I don't recall ever hearing of a movie or tv show that I liked 90% of it, but one casting made me just say "**** it, I'm out".

I mean I REALLY despise Cuba Gooding Jr., although that's more of a situation of thinking "how far can someone fall after getting an Oscar?" than anything else, but I never read about American Gangster and was like "Okay, this has Denzel, Idris Elba, Russell Crowe, Sam Weiss and a slew of other awesome actors, but it's got Cuba in it so **** that!"

As I said I REALLY don't like Lewis because she weirds me out. But dismissing a project that you admittedly were stoked about, because of ONE casting is a bit weird for me.

I mean, I get that it's weird, and understandably it might be. But she just bothers me that much. I have a hard time watching her. The only way it would work for me is she is in an incredibly minimal amount...
