No, it’s the other way around. She took a pass, when being offered to direct a Marvel blockbuster movie - Black Panther. I guess, directing a big budget movie based on a comic book was beneath her. Right now, she’s doing tv movies again. Maybe that better suits her. *shrugs*

That is EXACTLY what I said. /sarcasm off

No, I’m not, but since I’m a dude who sometimes disagrees with the gist of some stories written around here, we all might sound the same to you.

I liked the acting, loved the music (John Legend, Ledisi!), but the visuals felt like a history textbook set in motion to me.

“Every photograph they decide to use is of me with my vagina penis out.”

I mentioned the relative lack of financial success to illustrate, that Selma, despite the hype, did not reverberate with the American movie audience the way many critics had hoped it would be.

You mean like Sofia Coppola, or Jane Campion, Kathryn Bigelow, Nancy Meyers or Penny Marshall? Yeah, riiight.

Agreed, but will she be remembered as a filmmaker with a lasting legacy or for being the first black female director to receive an Oscar nomination for best film? She’s 43 and she has only two feature films and some tv work to her credit. That’s not what I would call a stellar body of work.

Tarantino is right. Selma gave more of a made for tv vibe than being an overwhelming visual and intellectual work of art, worthy of an Oscar. It also did not connect with the audience (grossed just over $50 million domestically), despite very good reviews and the fact that Ava DuVernay as one of very few black female…

Will Smith has earned a reputation for his very public thirst for knowledge, repeatedly insisting in his interviews that he is smart and intellectually curious.

Well, women have been cleaning up other people’s sh$t for centuries without a job title, pay, or benefits

bc otherwise, you’d have to come up with a snappy term to describe a clusterf**k like this:

Leo DiCaprio’s grisly, blood-soaked, heavily bearded Oscar bait

Had to google ‘eggplant’. I’m an old.

done accounting, planned meetings

Undocumented immigrant is both more accurate

No, he doesn’t, even though he should, bc getting up in the midle of the night and working hard in the freezing cold or the driving rain, while lifting a lot of weight for 8 hours, destined to kill your back in the long run, is a lot harder than sitting behind a desk, telling people that “Mr. soandso will see you now”…

This what people look like, who are no longer considered young. They age. Everybody, all of them, including the girl who one sang ‘Joe le taxi’. Ageism seems to be the favorite bloodsport around here, when it comes to writing about Johnny Depp.

Let me sum that up - he admires his wife’s taste in music, loves that she is a voracious reader and thinks she’s brilliant. I can understand that this artrocity deserves yet another ‘Let’s all hate Johnny Depp’ post. Yikes, this guy is the worst, I mean next time he may even profess his love to her in an interview! I…

Incidentally, that’s also the story of Antonio Cromartie
