Yeah, the whole world has Tiffanys back. I just meant that Mo’nique dwells in pettiness. This gift, combined with her Netflix deal, is going to put Tiff on Mo’ni ques passive aggressive hit list for sure. 

If you listen closely you can hear the sound of Mo'nique scrambling to set up her camera for yet another one hour long rant. Tiffany, you in danger girl. 

If you had $20 million to invest and a myriad of investment opportunities including simply leaving it into interest bearing accounts, would you invest it without thoroughly weighing all “potential rewards”?

I said that the arithmetic contortions people are making to claim it made a loss would equally apply to Blade Runner 2049 which you brought up. Given the fact that the odds were so heavily stacked for Blade Runner and yet they performed similarly speaks positively to her bankability. It tells film investors that she…

So much of your analysis of her bankability is wrong but I’ve given up trying to get through to people. So let’s put it this way, movie making is a business. These particular business people looked up the analytics and figured that the financial risk in casting Scarlet is manageable and that the risk in casting an…

An actor CAN turn down a part though. If a movie is wrong, everyone involved probably deserves some of the blame. I just don’t think people should be getting so worked up in this instance. This type of movie does need a name actor to get greenlit for a decent budget. Its already a risky investment with a name attached…

This to me is the problem with culture vultures aka appropriators. They just put on and take off the costume at will. It’s why I don’t think of Bruno Mars as a vulture, he will never be able to switch lanes back and forth this freely. Reminds me of the country fans uproar when Beyonce, a black woman born and raised in…

The world did Sean Young so so wrong. When do we fix that, MeToo? And how?

But Get Out did struggle to raise a budget. Jordan Peele actually said that what allowed him to close the deal was that they knew they could market it on his name. They knew it would get some press coverage out the gate and that playing up the contrast between his comedy work and a social commentary horror/thriller…

The only people claiming that Ghost in a Shell was massive bomb are those who think we should take production costs and double to account for P&A to discover true net profits. Well by that logic, Blade Runner 2049 whose production budget was 150million actually cost 300 million to make. That would mean it made a 40…

Eh... Dwaynes father is black and his mother is Samoan. Either way, non white mega movie stars work their way from TV. The straight-to-the-big-screen path is reserved for white guys.

Are they side pieces when the couple is in an open and possibly polyamorous marriage? Side piece just carries connotations of cheating to me. 

You are completely missing the point. Someone suggested that Scarlet couldn’t sell what would essentially be a small to medium budget studio film. Well, she sold $160 million worth on a movie that you yourself admit manga fans rejected. The core audience of that film didn’t turn up and still it made a lot more money…

This is why black movie stars from Denzel to Jamie Foxx to Will Smith to Idris Elba to Kevin Hart to even Duane Johnson came from TV. You build a name brand and then you cross to movies where financiers can entrust budgets to that brand. Why? Because cinema audiences gravitate to the familiar, white male leads are…

Ghost in a Shell didn’t bomb. It may not have been a huge hit but it made a $60 million profit with a $110 million budget. A movie like this will not cost more than 30 million. Its not a crazy gamble that she can sell those tickets on her name combined with positive reviews.

I’m pretty sure the producer cred is from helping secure financing. She could of course have passed up the part but I sincerely doubt this film would attract investors with a trans man as lead. Just because there isn’t any who wouldn’t be a risky bet. As it is, even with one of the biggest stars attached, the only way…

You ain’t lying but does this type of film get financing with an unknown trans actor in the lead? My guess is that if it did get made, it would be a small budget event that will never reach mainstream audiences. It's not like these movies get a huge audience even when they star known quantities. 

Eh. Gabby Sidibe has worked consistently on both TV and film since Precious. And not unknown shows/films either. Work that gives her crossover audiences. That despite the fact that as an unknown overweight darkskinned young black woman she had it far worse than Monique who as a middle-aged woman in Hollywood terms…

Matthew Goode shat on the film, not individuals by name. Plus it wasn’t the film that made him. And he hasn’t had any one sided feuds with public figures. And dissing a romcom loathed by the few who saw it, just doesn’t land. Nobody cares. Its Apples and Oranges.

The biggest difference is that men are immediately believed. They don’t have to come with corroborating evidence. They don’t have to show that they told someone about the assault at the time. Kevin Spacey was finished an hour after the first accuser came forward. I was on reddit then and there were zero suggestions…
