it's almost upsetting how JDW has not even a whiff of Denzel's charisma, talent or charm.

He was apparently really good in the play.

I liked him in BlacKkKlansman, but that was ages ago.

one hopes to sell it, the other refuses to give it up

This storyline was created by someone who has never tried to get rid of a piano before. lol

[nutmegdealer]

the hallmark version was solid, but hollyood stays remaking everything.

[squirrels_oh_no]

I know this is in the top 10 Oscar convo right now, but that plot just...

I agree with the poster above me who said whoever wrote this has never dealt with pianos in families before. My grandmother paid my aunt to take hers as part of her "inheritance".

[yeah_banana]

I tried forever to give my piano away. I ended up having to pay a company to junk it and take it away.

This post is missing the nepo baby tag!

[tillychar]

lol i honestly forgot that tag existed!

[silverstarry]

There are actually two separate tags: celebrity children/siblings and nepotism. They were both getting quite a workout during the initial nepo baby discourse which is the main reason I know that they both exist!

I wonder if the 4th Washington kid is an accountant or something. We never hear of her.
