Thinking about that time Julia Roberts was on the Rosie O’Donnell show promoting MY BEST FRIEND’S WEDDING and decided to call her out about a joke she made at her expense…
I would never want to cross her lol
Just started
#PartnerTrack
on Netflix and I’m already distracted by the fact that these two actors look exactly alike but are apparently not playing siblings…?
@EandnotY
Circled the 5 I knew for sure (Ruth Carter, Ryan Coogler, Camille Friend, Bryan Tyree Henry, and Angela Bassett).
Rihanna and Tems are nominated, but weren’t there.
The rest…I’m unsure lol
@sincerelysae
I made a comment about America specifically and you took it to be me talking about all non-Black people. She always seems more proper/conservative in her demeanor and so it surprised me. That’s it. You’re the one reaching. 🙄
Another “almost”: Megan Good was originally cast as Eve in Eve’s Bayou, but it took so long to get the film into production that she ended up being too old for the part and was recast. She went on to play Cisely instead.
@LittleCharlesTV
I have heard so many not-great things about being Black (especially Black American) in Paris, I guess I shouldn’t be surprised. Eaux neaux…😩

There’s hardly anything in the score/soundtrack that even counts as R&B, so that alone tells me all I need to know. He should’ve just said the movie was too black for him and carried on with whatever incoherent, oversexed, shallow ode to epilepsy he’s promoting.
Did more in "Us" than a lot of people do in their entire careers. Somebody said it was like watching one actor play both roles in "The Shining" and...yeah. She should be leading movie after movie.

Sad to see it, but I lost interest in this once I saw they were going the "dark and gritty" route, which is such a departure from the cartoon. Oh well. 🤷🏿♂️
🆕📸 This gets much better.

Saved by the Bell LOVED to dangle a new thread and then yank that shit away by the next episode, but this one HURT! And I didn’t even experience the show in its original run lol
And this is why I roll my eyes whenever anyone mentions “emasculation” when criticizing this. The mocking of Black women is what’s actually problematic here, the other arguments are just homophobia 🤷🏿♂️
Tbh…BM been wearing dresses since Flip Wilson. The “dress” isn’t the actual issue, because WM have done it for decades. It’s the fact that BM are usually playing a awful caricature of BW — prime example Kevin was dressing up as Quvenzhané Wallis, who was like 10 yrs old.
