13330463, Could’ve sworn I ran into him in the airport few weeks back
Posted by DJR, Sat May-04-19 12:28 PM
He was walking towards my bag on the conveyor belt and then stopped when I grabbed it and looked back and said “that’s his bag”, to whoever he was there with.
I thought I was in an episode of Atlanta and he was going to try to sell me a credit card or something.
But I don’t think it could’ve actually been him. He wouldn’t be checking his bags on commercial flights, would he?

13330464, Oh they gon blackball you?! I gotchu.

Respect to Donald for that
|
13330466, Monique needed to remind people she's actually FUNNY
Posted by Adwhizz, Sat May-04-19 01:24 PM
and a good Actress.
The last two years or so most of her appearances in media were coming across as bitter. That's not really conducive to making people want to spend money to see you do COMEDY
|
13330507, She was bitter because she wasn’t getting the chance to show her chops
Posted by legsdiamond, Sun May-05-19 07:06 AM
Only time she got airtime was to ask her why she wasn’t working.
|
13330521, If you're trying to convince people to give u $ to do Comedy
Posted by Adwhizz, Sun May-05-19 11:22 AM
You have to actually make people want to see you do comedy/be funny.
|
13330583, We’ve always known she was funny and talented.
Posted by legsdiamond, Sun May-05-19 10:00 PM
No need to remind anyone of the obvious. This was about the business side of it and you can’t joke your way out of a debate about your worth or being blacklisted.
Her whole point is once the cameras are on she always delivers.
|
13330868, Then she should get on camera and deliver...like this.

I give much props to Donald Glover for working with Black People that Hollywood and White people want to write off, Michael Vick, Katt Williams and now Monique.

13330873, Y’all niggas understand what being Black balled means?
Posted by legsdiamond, Mon May-06-19 04:08 PM
She won a fucking Oscar. She knows how to deliver on screen
The problem was off screen.
and Vick already made it back before Donald. He signed a healthy contract after serving his time.
|
13330874, Come on now
Posted by Lurkmode, Mon May-06-19 04:18 PM
She should have un-blackballed her self. Forced people to put her on camera. lol
These cats go out the way to blame folk.
|
13330877, Lmao

13330878, People hire PR firms/Agents for a REASON
Posted by Adwhizz, Mon May-06-19 04:39 PM
Her Media run last year where seemingly her strategy of trying shame companies into paying her millions for a comedy special didn't work.
Actually building up value in your name to make people WANT to watch you is what a competent team is for.
|
13330911, You think a PR firm or Agent can get around blackball ?
Posted by Lurkmode, Mon May-06-19 07:08 PM
Nah, they do damage control and that only works if you bend the knee.

13330927, ALSO!!!
Posted by legsdiamond, Mon May-06-19 09:28 PM
I wouldn’t be surprised if Peele uses her next. Just work with the next generation instead of trying to fight the old heads.
|
13330952, how do you know that she wasn't trying to do this?
Posted by tariqhu, Tue May-07-19 08:55 AM
I doubt she's just sitting waiting on folks to ring her phone. somebody still has to allow her the opportunity to work.

13330467, "ohhhh nooo, Dusty spilled a little paint on his bo-bos"

13330508, Omg, the viscosity... gimme back my grits!!

13330542, THIS is what we want to see from MoNique
Posted by jrocc, Sun May-05-19 03:46 PM
this could have been an episode of Atlanta.
|
13330561, Mo'Nique is a legend in Atlanta...
Posted by Castro, Sun May-05-19 06:15 PM
she was one of the headline acts regularly on the Chitlin' circuit back in the 90's, at the Comedy Act Theater and at Uptown Comedy Club.
Cool to see Glover show her some love.
|
13330871, Man DG's comedy formula is f'ing awesome.
Posted by Buddy_Gilapagos, Mon May-06-19 03:57 PM
It's super distinctive and natural and makes you just want to watch scenes of their characters bullshitting.

As long as SOMEONE swings in out of nowhere and says 'gimme back my grits' every few times, you should be able to use it for years.
