I watched HF again and yeah taraji slayed. Hopefully she continues to book these type of roles to give a good balance from the cookie mess.
Janelle was good too both in HF and in Moonlight. She's a natural..and the camera loves her. hope she looks into more challenging lead roles to really display what she can do.
Octavia is up there with GODiola and they still held their own on screen with her.
you make it sound like she does cookie roles all the time
benjamin button
person of interest
that movie with idris
if ppul are letting that one role define her as an actor thats their fault
shes had diverse roles
Girl I was the one defending her in here. So let me rephrase what I was saying so you can get it. It would be nice if she did non cookie. Non ratchet roles in movies that cater to the black audience. Not you starting mess after I just praised her in HF.
The movies arent the problem
Ppul diminishing her talent because shes able to showcase urban life
And then discounting her other diverse works because of it
Is simply someone with an agenda
If ur good u are good no matter the role or character
And taraji is one of the few that is truly diverse to give a educated middle class tea to a old bacwoods 1950s tea to a hood chick n more
U praising her then talking about how u wishe she didnt do certain roles just feeds into the madness
