Queen Latifah

:laugh2:There's another one. Are all black people easily offended? Am I supposed to expect that he's going to just whup my *** for making an observation?

No really ...... tell him how refreshing you find it that he is so well spoken.

I am sure he will appreciate it.

:laugh2:Why did you post that?

 

[Bob Sacamano]

Nothing wrong with being fit, being offensive is your schtick tho. And you can't make a good criticism without sticking to stereotypes and pointing out **** that's irrelevant in the grand scheme of things.

Criticizing accomplishments is one thing, but focusing on a person's looks, ethnicity, or anything unrelated to the jobs they perform just makes you look shallow.

BTW, I'm not offended nor angry and what you've posted. I expect it of you now.

I'm such a terrible person.

 

[zrinkill]

Please, let's not make this about something I never said.

hmmmm

Something like 10 films, and she still can't speak correctly.

Will do.

Can anyone explain to me why Queen Latifah is famous?

Singing? awful
Rapping? horrible
Acting? unbearable
Being overweight? success

I just saw "Just Wright" and it was tough to watch.

Her singing, acting I don't know that's debatable but saying her rapping is horrible is a horrible opinion. Latifah is one of if not the best female rapper ever. The only one I would put in her category is MC Lyte.

hmmmm

:laugh2:you're truly rich. I was speaking about her appearing in so many films that it would be high time for Hollywood to cast her in a different role. Of course they can't.

Do you even comprehend what my argument's main thrust is about?

Sometimes it is just smarter to walk away instead of making yourself look worse than you already have.

Hostile's a bit hostile today.

Check out the sticky thread in the Fan Zone and you'll know why.

Idiots.

Sure it was.

This from the guy who modifies everyone of his posts 2 or 3 times.


And she has had plenty of different types of roles.

But she is a mostly comedic actor ...... do you have a problem with the Steve Martin or Will Ferrell stereotype? They play the same type of roles over and over again.

I'm such a terrible person.

I never said you were terrible. I don't know you like that to make that comment. I just said that your observations of certain things make you look shallow.

Bob, just give up man :laugh2: .

I'd rather see you devoting all of this energy to the "Bill Collection" thing we discussed a few weeks ago.

:laugh2: as if that will help him.

Pray, zrin, please show me the post where I said she writes her own roles to keep playing the same person over and over again. Sorry, that's Hollywood. And if you couldn't draw that conclusion on your own, then you are some kind of nincompoop.

And she has had plenty of different types of roles.

Such as?

But she is a mostly comedic actor ...... do you have a problem with the Steve Martin or Will Ferrell stereotype? They play the same type of roles over and over again.

And what are they stereotyping?

You don't think Hollywood perpetuates stereotypes? I'd rather be accused of being shallow than of friggin naivete.

Sad thing is, you would happily shell out 10 bucks to see stereotypes, but only get mad at me for doing so. I may stereotype, but at least I don't profit from it.

oh, look, the hillbilly is trying to be a sophisticate. :laugh2::laugh2::laugh2::laugh2::laugh2::laugh2::laugh2:

Laugh all you want, you are the one making yourself look like the south end of a northbound mule in this thread.

However if that is what you want, by all means, continue.

Where in any of my posts have I said Hollywood don't perpetuate stereotypes. Matter of fact, I think the entertainment industry as a whole cater to the dumbing down of society, but that has nothing to do with what you've posted.

You went from calling her fat and ugly as your reason for not liking her to now her roles perpetuate African-American stereotypes. Nobody's buying it, dude.

Sad thing is, you would happily shell out 10 bucks to see stereotypes, but only get mad at me for doing so. I may stereotype, but at least I don't profit from it.

Sadly, you think I'm into movies like that to where I'd spend my hard earned dollars to see foolishness.
