Forgot to mention that Denzel's advice to Will in "Six Degrees" had nothing to do about white women. The movie was based upon a successful play in which a black gay man pretends to be the son of Sidney Poitier. In the movie script there was a scene in which Will's character seduces a man and kisses him. Will gave a now infamous quote a decade ago about how Denzel's advice to him was "you can't be kissing no man". It has never been confirmed that Denzel told him that but considering Denzel's religious views and his reluctance to take risks it would not surprise me. Will had the director compromise by having the camera at an angle as he moved closer towards his white male co-star's face. But there was never a clear view of them kissing. Now if Will had a problem kissing a mean on screen for personal or business reasons then who am I to tell him he was wrong. But I do have to ask why did he take the part in the first place if he knew that was what the character was about? Its like Jessica Alba in "Sin City". She knew based upon the comic book and script that her stripper character takes off her clothes. A lot. But after Jessica got the roll and filming had started she told the director she did not want to be seen naked. Bitch, please. Take off your damn clothes or turn down the damn roll.
AMEN!!! That's one freakin' thing I can't stand about actors and actresses in Hollywood. Sure, there's poor decision-making when it comes to certain scripts I'd imagine, but why be miss goody when you actually have to take on a role which requires showing some skin or involves some sexual contact??? Make up ya'll damn minds in H-town. It's either art or it's not. I'm actually admitting that I'm pathetic because in order for me to see any skin in a flick anymore, I'd have to watch something pre-1990 now. Just another one of these stupid influence rules that Hollywood has now and it's infected the actors as well.
And Miss Alba (Miss Thang) pisses me off the most. This one has been given the damn red carpet treatment ever since she arrived. If it's not been Maxim magazine or any of the many lightweight skin publications, it's James Cameron handing her "Dark Angel." Or putting her in "Honey," failing miserably as an ethnic around-the-way girl. Or even making her the object of all those horny comic book boys by placing her in the Fantastic Four movies. Ridiculous. I mean, if nudity hurt her career that's one thing. But she shouldn't presume some type of conservatism now that she's already sold her soul as every red-blooded american boy's hot girlfriend. Please. Art should be art. If the script is sound and it makes you think and the acting is great, nudity shouldn't be threatening. But yeah, broad comes off thinking she's better than Cleopatra or something.:smt012
