It's not just for acting either.

Look @ 'fas.

Only thing I could wonder as I watched this mess and yawned is...can you imagine what 'fas would do with this fucking budget? :damselindistress:

This bitch had fucking armageddon surrounding her and still managed to bore the hell out of me.

I hate to even bring up Monique in the same sentences as Viola (not even to be shady but it?d be degrading to Viola) but if Monique had at least taken 1/10th of this approach she?d be in a much better place..

This is cute, but what change does this bring? I mean really what is Viola Davis doing but falling on deaf ears. Those white women in the audience will give a cute , wow.. but they will not continue the dialogue beyond that because then they will have to carry the guilt. They know that they do not support black projects, and that is in part why black women cannot demand more money. Even in music, for black women to be very successful they have to be a unicorn. They have to possess talent and beautiful like never before seen.

While Monique's approach may be a bit over the top. I think Viola Davis's is a beat weak and is not doing anything for her cause. I do not think she is a black Meryl Streep because she has not been given the opportunities as Meryl. I mean she was in a Tyler Perry Movie less than 10 years ago.

I think a big women in film like Viola need to call out the white women who are asking for pay equality. Ask them how can they expect men to support their cause when they do not support the plight of their fellow female actors of color in their pay inequality in comparison to them.

I agree that there's but so many opportunities available in Hollywood for Black actors considering that we live in a White country.

People get on Tyler Perry a lot for the genre and plots that he chooses but he's actually necessary. No shade but unless he was churning out those movies like he's been a lot of Black actors would have still been between gigs.

Monique let herself down when she asked people to boycott Netflix because she didn't get the pay she wanted; that was very selfish. Not saying that Netflix should be a savior for black people or where they should aspire to be but they're far from anti-black content/talent. Her starting a boycott could have affected black worker's jobs (actors, crew members, etc), and then what? Unless she had an alternative streaming service or something to replace what she was asking people to stop watching, she should have kept it to a conversation about pay inequality..

Viola's career spans a couple of decades as well.  Cause I like Julian Moore and Sigourney weaver but I don't put then as high as Meryl. There's no reason viola shouldn't be making Julian Moore money. Monique's convo is completely lost on me.  Even I don't think she deserves it.  Viola is completely different

Yeah, I think the comparison makes sense when talking about career paths but Viola still has a way to go before she can perch alongside those other women. Just my opinion.

:udontlookok:
I think she meant their whole trajectory.  From a prestigious school to now being a decorated actress whose done it all (Broadway, Film, and Television) and been successful awhile. Viola's career spans a couple of decades as well.  Cause I like Julian Moore and Sigourney weaver but I don't put then as high as Meryl. There's no reason viola shouldn't be making Julian Moore money. Monique's convo is completely lost on me.  Even I don't think she deserves it.  Viola is completely different

Yeah, I think the comparison makes sense when talking about career paths but Viola still has a way to go before she can perch alongside those other women. Just my opinion.

Exactly. You?re stating opinions while we?re out here dealing with fax bvy.

Quote?I have a career that's probably comparable to Meryl Streep, Julianne Moore, Sigourney Weaver.

U don't agree?

Meryl has more Oscar noms than any other actress and Sigourney was one of the first female heroines on film, so no  :dead:
She said comparable not exactly the same.  They are all very well respected Alist actresses and there's no reason viola should be making  10% of what they make.  If it was just Meryl I would understand because I think she's the best actress ever tbh but Sigourney weaver and Julian Moore? NAH! Sigourney should be making less than everyone imhfo and viola and Julian should be on par with each other

I think that's what her point was.

No matter what training/schooling she has, how hard she works, how many Tony's or Emmy's or Sally's she receives...she still won't able to perch at their table. It's impossible to do that when you aren't given the same opportunities.

It'd be like an endless game of catch up with a serious handicap. Running behind them with a broken leg.

She could have been more clear but I get it.

I think that was actually part of her winning speech from what I remember. The only difference really is opportunity. Has nothing to do with her talent or where she could go or even how hard she works to get there. There are certain things that are simply out of her control. And those forces take nothing into consideration when it comes to her talent or potential as an actress.

The studio?s just don?t believe black women have the mainstream reach.

Halle and someone else I won?t mention since she?s not a full time actress are the only ones I recall getting the 10s of millions for a role or more.

TV is probably the biggest checks a black actress will see.

Post by: ya rock muh world. on February 17, 2018, 04:46:09 PM
Yeah. It ultimately comes down to the fact that this is still a White country.

It's really about these studios seeing a return on investment and catering to their target audience.

Majority rules. I mean it's really simplifying things to say that but it's real.

America is becoming more and more diversified and as that happens I think things will change and more honest and open conversations will be had.

But until then, it's a great idea for Viola to open up this production house she has in the works. Until then, let's appreciate Tyler Perry for giving Black actors an opportunity that they otherwise wouldn't have had. Until then, let's continue to support "EBT" and alike networks - tuning into the awards shows which actually take time to honor Black people whether or not they're playing a crackhead, criminal or prostitute.

thats not what the call sheet is exactly  :dead: :dead: :dead: :dead:

Daily call sheet

QuoteThe daily call sheet is a filmmaking term for the schedule crafted by the assistant director, using the director's shot list. It is issued to the cast and crew of a film production to inform them of where and when they should report for a particular day of filming.

The production schedule is listed by call time, the time when people are expected to start work on a film set.

Information found on call sheets
Call sheets include other useful information such as contact information (e.g. phone numbers of crew members and other contacts), the schedule for the day, which scenes and script pages are being shot, and the address of the shoot location. Call sheets have information about cast transportation arrangements, parking instructions and safety notes.

Call sheets may also provide logistical information regarding the location. It is common to find such items as weather information, sunrise/sunset times, local hospitals, restaurants, and hardware stores on call sheets.

Its like Top Billing

Shes saying shes first on the call sheet but not treated as such if illustrated by the salary of other top actors being 1st on the call sheet
Meaning your main actor gets her scenes and schedule first then the rest of the crew kinda

This is cute, but what change does this bring? I mean really what is Viola Davis doing but falling on deaf ears. Those white women in the audience will give a cute , wow.. but they will not continue the dialogue beyond that because then they will have to carry the guilt. They know that they do not support black projects, and that is in part why black women cannot demand more money. Even in music, for black women to be very successful they have to be a unicorn. They have to possess talent and beautiful like never before seen.

While Monique's approach may be a bit over the top. I think Viola Davis's is a beat weak and is not doing anything for her cause. I do not think she is a black Meryl Streep because she has not been given the opportunities as Meryl. I mean she was in a Tyler Perry Movie less than 10 years ago.

I think a big women in film like Viola need to call out the white women who are asking for pay equality. Ask them how can they expect men to support their cause when they do not support the plight of their fellow female actors of color in their pay inequality in comparison to them.
shes starting her own production house that caters to people of color, wordy fagg
Oh bitch.

I'm here for it. CREATE opportunity.
shes about to LASH
