Yes talk about it!

Damn, the spirit of Quincy Jones popped in Denzel for a minute because he's confirming tea everyone knew, just not back then. Glad he's no longer drinking.

American Beauty is such dogshit

[qaladriel]

such a dull movie, I'll never understand the status it has.

[januarysix]

It’s sexist and predictable and formulaic

[ohwutevernvm]

I wish I could unseen it in the first place 😭　such artsy fartsy trash

[progression]

Omg do all old people just start spilling tea? Because I’m here for thisssss.

I like Denzel as an actor, but know next to nothing about his personal life. So, this is exciting!

[anterrabre]

Yes. You get to a point in your life where you just don't have time for nonsense anymore and either start letting people have it or call people out on their BS. Women in particular hit 50 and get really blunt with folks, lol.

I’m really loving no fucks given fun Denzel. He’s had such a weird reputation for looking miserable doing press or at awards shows but I don’t believe he’s a dour guy.

I remember when he was on desus & mero(rip). I thought damn he’s fun. The wrong people are interviewing him.

I completely forgot about “The Straight Story.” Will have to give it a watch.

there was talk in the town about what was going on over there on that side of the street, and that’s between him and God. I ain’t got nothing to do with that. I pray for him. That’s between him and his maker.
I am trying to figure out what he means there.

I hate American Beauty with a passion EXCEPT the score. It’s what made me fall in love with Thomas Newman and was weirdly a comfort during a tough time.

He's referring to the underage parties and other vile things Kevin and others were doing. Proof positive that a lot of celebs know when others are grimy and keep their side of the street clean by avoidance because I've never heard of Denzel and certain other notable Black celebs attending Diddy parties, not even the famed Black/White balls.

[lamppost1911]

That’s what I assumed but was surprised he went there.

[anterrabre]

That's the power of Quincy's spirit, lol.
