She threw away a promising career

I, like the rest of you, thought Lisa was so hot on the Cosby show. But she threw it all away.

SHe was a stupid rebellious head strong little freak while Cosby was trying to bestoe decades of wisdom upon her and lay the frame work for her to have a life long career. That movie Angel Heart was such a hap-hazard career decision in light of the fact that she was starring in the number one tv show on television at the time only multiplied her error.

Angel heart was just so far out there from where she was with the Voodoo and the devil and the bloody sex and the white lover and just a stupid thing. If she wanted the world to know that she was a freak she could have eased into it over the course of a few movies like Endless love, or indecent proposal or something.

Quote" ...her role in monsters ball and found it a slap in the face that she was awarded an academy award for just being a little country bumkin freak-a-zoid. This seemed to be saying to all black women that America thinks you are at your best when you are playing a whore.

U know that is EXACTLY how I feel.
I havent seen a HB film since that MB crap ..well I did c Xmen but it is an ensemlbe movie.

I feel the same way for Denzel. Im mad as hell that when he is a fvcking corrupt drug using cop is when he is voted/deemed "best" & "outstanding" 2 his fellow acting peers. Denzel has done fanstastic jobs in many movies:

87: Cry Freedom,
89: The Mighty Quinn, Glory(he won Best Supp Actor Award 4 his great job as Trip),
90: Mo' Better Blues,
91: Mississippi Masala shoulda won,
92: Malcolm X DEFINITELY DEFINITELY DEFINITELY shoulda won,
93: Pelican Brief, Philadelphia,
95: Crimson Tide, Devil in a Blue Dress (1995),
96: Courage Under Fire, The Preacher's Wife,
98: He Got Game, The Siege,
99: Bone Collector , Hurricane shoulda won,
00: Remember the Titans

His job as Steve Biko is worthy of recognition.
His SUPREMELY WONDERFUL FANTASTIC GRITYY ETHEREAL portrayal of 'detroitRed'
( lol, similar 2 your imdb name )
El Hajj Malik El Shabazz is worthy of recognition.
He did it again as wrongly convicted HURRICANE RUBIN CARTER.
......................yet when he is on drugs, shooting & killing...that that is when he is @ his best?
bullsh*t.
