Grumpy Denzel is Tired of Movies, No Longer Watches Them

I am too.

He’s entitled to be grumpy. IMHO.

I get what he's saying. I tried to watch Wicked three times and never got past the first scene in whatever the fuck that school was.

He's always been kinda cranky. Ragging on the industry in which he made a career is not a good look though.

I haven’t seen a NEW movie in 15 years. This isn’t a new thing for me or thousands of others.

It’s always wise business sense to publicly declare you despise the product you create.

TBH, I grew tired of Denzel Washington movies. So let's hope he won't make any more !

I kinda support his statements.

I mean. how decadent has Hollywood become in the last decade that now The Rock is currently the best paid "actor". I mean, I think most people still want to see movies with real actors; not WWE stars, reggeaton "singers" or football players who date pop stars.

Is he the new Roxane Gay?

is he still FAT or has he lost weight?

Movies are too full of political messages today and they’re super long. That’s why horror movies can dominate the box office now cause it’s pure entertainment and typically shorter than a drama or superhero movie.

What are the political messages in movies that you find upsetting, R11?

You know which ones he means, R12.

I don't.

Except he got a nice, fat paycheck for that train wreck of a performance in Gladiator 2, where he rolled up in his new york accent and modern day mannerisms despite playing a historical figure from antiquity.

Perhaps you're part of the reason movies suck now, Denzel. Just retire, we've had sufficient.

He aged horribly.

R16 He's been sober ten years now but said last year that drugs and alcohol have taken a terrible toll on his body.

He’s starting to irritate me a lil bit like Michelle Obama. Don’t get me wrong I will always love them as heroes, but that mouth is nonstop in retirement age.

R17 so the same man that told Will Smith not to kiss a man on screen because of his faith, also was a huge druggie

Color me surprised

R19 He was an alcoholic not drug addict.

What about his numerous affairs with white women and not me?

He’s a hypocrite and he’s always been a fairly one-note actor.

He and Tom Hanks are two of the least talented A-listers of the past 35 years. No range. No depth. Two emperors with no clothes.

Eve Mendez is the only white woman I know he had an affair with. And she not even white white. The rest were all black actresses including Sanaa Lathan.

R22 Do you think Bradley Cooper and Will Smith are better actors than Washington and Hanks. Just curious.

And Julia?

[quote] —Viola

Viola is the Aunt Esther of show business. Stick her face in the freezer and you can make some uglysicles.

Sitting on his piles of money, the oracle doth speak.

R22, did you see Flight?

The only movies I watch now are romcoms. I just want fun and silly. And I used to watch EVERY movie - especially prestige dramas.

However, I do watch a million scripted TV shows. So I'm doing my part to keep Hollywood afloat.

I am, too. It's because they don't make movies for grownups anymore.

Good Lord! Denzel and Chris Meloni could play twins; both have hit the wall HARD!

Monkeys, man your typewriters; we need a "brothers separated at birth" screenplay!

Grumpy Denzel is a major PAIN IN THE ASS!

Denzel looks like Tracy Morgan on Ozempic.

Chris Meloni was, is and always shall be SCORCHING HOT!!! 🔥

Denzel should have retired after his horrible and embarrassing actress casting decision for the film “Fences.”
