*NOT WORK SAFE!*
Before today I never knew why Halle Berry won that Oscar for her role in “Monster’s Ball.” I never saw the movie, but I’ve seen Halle try to act her way out of paper bags in other movies.
Thanks to the good folks on Thecrusade.net, I got the chance to see once and for all what all the hooplah was about.
I must agree that this was an Oscar worthy performance by Hally Berry – who took faking an orgasm to a whole ‘nother level! On the other hand, Billy Bob Thornton was a bore. Halle could have done this scene by herself and she still would have won the Oscar. 
I’m not impressed.
Sandra…go in the corner with Bsoul and Kat..
Yo mean they couldn’t get Brian Pumper?
I am going to watch when I get home. I have never seen the movie either and always thought Halle’s acting was less than medicore. Unless she is playing a crackhead.
Nobody plays a better crackhead then Alfre Woodard..she wins that hands down!lol
I wasn’t impressed at all either.I wouldn’t be surprised if that was some stunt woman.
Dead @ Brian Pumper he does have a nice ok body but I think he float the other way.
I will admit I saw the movie, I really didn’t know what to think of it or that particular scene(lol) but I guess they felt she deserved it I mean if u doing a sex scene with ol Billy Bob then u truly do deserve something(lol)!!! He is such a turn off I don’t know what Angelina saw in his grungy looking a$$!!
i saw the movie and it wasn’t great at all.

Damn, I thought I was the only one that thought she was not as good as an actress as they make her out to be.
This is too funny my friends and I were just discussing the fact that shes not that great of an actress.Shes just pleasant to look at.
As far as I am concerned Halle has yet to display Oscar worthiness in any film including this one. The academy was just trying to make up for shunning the people that really did deserve it: Angela Bassett in What’s Love Got to Do With It and Whoopie Goldberg in The Color Purple.
Oh and BTW I saw this movie in the theater and when it was over I just sat there in shock.I was like are they friggin kiddin me, a Razzie would be too good for this movie.
Angela Bassett! Now THAT’S an actress..she was so good in What’s Love Got To Do With It, that when Tina came on at the end it didn’t seem right! It was like Tina was playing Angie’s role..Halle is mediocre, although I will give her credit with Introducing Dorothy Dandridge..
2bme – nobody can play a crackhead better than Gator. Sam Jackson did that! Whitney came close, but Samuel did it.
Did see the movie, wasn’t impressed.
sidethought– women have faked orgasms for years (after working all day, taking care of the kids, cooking dinner)…..where is their trophy?
@Hellava
Didn’t Gator have the crackhead act down to a tee?
hehehe..^^ that WASN’T an act..so doesn’t count when it’s a real life experience..back to Alfre..for those of you who have seen Down in the Delta and Holiday Heart..she wins handsdown..!
Geez Sandra is good gossip so slow that you have to resort to posting porn?
LMAO @ 2bme
All I can say is MAKE ME FEEL GOOD, MAKE ME FEEL GOOD!!
Billy Bob says he gets a lot of props from black men about doing that scene
what ya’ll don’t know is she is CLEARLY acting and that was the performance of her lifetime – or atleast that’s what eric benet said.
LMAO @ 2bme…you’re so right. Now those were 2 very good movies. I can watch Holiday Heart over and over.
LMAO, Since we talking about the best crackheads yall can’t leave out my man Chris Rock(Pookie) or the chick in the hallway with him after he got the turkey(lol)”I was prom queen of King high school this is beneath me”!! OMG if yall don’t remember that the hell with yall(lol)!!!
Did anyone notice or I don’t know if it was just me or not but if you look closely…lol…you could actually see Billy Bob’s nuts when she was riding him. And then her being butt azz naked on top of him, how do they do that? He had to have a hard-on, right?
I didn’t get that close to the screen to see.
New Jack City is still one of my fav movies and Pookie the crackhead, too funny. @ms. peaches, yeah the crackhead beauty queen saying “this is beneath me”, cracks me up everytime. Down in the Delta I only watched pieces and parts. Although I guess I should have pre screened it. My kids have seen it countless times. lol.
Mia I guess Sandra posting porn is ok she did warn us first. Just wish I would have been warned about the woman with the strange cave man handfeet.
@ Ana ~ LOL. I just thought that if Sandra wanted to post porn, she post some more pictures of Rihanna fingering herself on stage while the REAL dancers and back-up singers shut sh*t down. I guess Sandra doesn’t like Rihanna as much as she does Halle and Billy Bob.
funny Mia.
Doesnt Samuel Jackson have an advantage when it comes to portraying Crackheads????
All I can say is WOW.

He did not just play one on tv. At the same time you have to admire someone who released his skeltons from the closet.
It just goes to show how some ppl use addiction as a crutch. Like some celebs are addicted to fame and attention. Samuel L Jackson is a great actor with raw talent and I am so glad that he realized his gift but has no problem talking about his past. Now that is a true measure of a man.
this scene was totally gratuitous. it looked like at the last minute they offered Halle an additional $100k to go all the way. The scene didn’t even make sense. In fact the whole movie was a big fat zero, P-Diddy included.
@whatnow Says:
Reading the comments in the room, I don’t feel like I missed much. I am home from work and still can view but it seems like I did not waste my money nor time on this movie. I did hear that Halle did get paid extra money to show her boobs. That being said, is that why she has not sold pics of her new baby. I say it is ok as a celeb to sell the first pics of the baby to the highest bidder but pic a respectful one. We the public do want to know what the babies look like. I also say that if you are going to sell the pics set up a charity with the millions or just donate the money.
I am not a celeb, who didn’t know that. lol. After having my kids I did not want anyone to hold them, sneeze on them or babysit them. I Can’t imagine a camera crew with all their germs in my home taking pics of my new baby to pimp out. Unless once again I was a celeb that really thought ppl were interested in seeing my baby and you don’t want to seem standoffish and prudeish.
Nobody plays a better crackhead then Alfre Woodard..she wins that hands down!lol
….
Diana Ross in “Lady Sings The Blues!” The best crackhead portrayal. lol
heart2heart Says: Diana Ross in “Lady Sings The Blues!” The best crackhead portrayal. lol
Now that is funny, especially being crack was not out then. Or was it? lol.
For all of those that don’t believe in Halle’s acting talent, I suggest you go rent “Queen.” After watching that miniseries when it first aired years ago, I’ve believed in her acting ability ever since.
Having said that, she shouldn’t have received the Oscar for “Monster’s Ball.” What a mess that they would finally give the coveted award to a Black woman after doing such a tasteless scene in a movie.
@ Anna
Haha, you’re right, oops!

**********************************************************
LMAO!!!!!
Yall getting yall’s drug addicts all messed up.
In Down in the Delta Alfre was portrayed as some out of control weed head which was totally inaccurate, because potheads don’t be fiending like that.
In Lady Sings the Blues Miss Ross portrayed a heroin addict. And she was damn good at it.
Well I guess they have taken it off
now that i’m finally home and i got a chance to watch this uncut version…it was just gross!! somebody was really getting their groove on. say what you want but some pleasantries were exchanged in that scene. somebody needed a d*mn towel when that was over with and it wasn’t to wipe sweat okay…if she got that d*mn oscar for this…then surely she could get one for boomerang!lol.
the movie suck, but halle deserved the oscar for that part of the movie!
Diana Ross was on heroin if i’m not mistaken..this is a crackhead post! lol
LOL I think she deserved the Oscar just for that scene…I’m not sure what Angelina saw in Billie Bob either.
I meant in Lady sings the blues..my bad Ms.Ross..lol
It might be acting but my hubby and I need to have a conversation when I get home this evening.
LOL @SNOOTYPOOTY1
yes, you can see his balls around 1:18 or 1:19. one of my friends swore the scene was fake until we saw this. ain’t no way bb let halle slide up and down on him like that and didn’t get some. as real as it is, IT STILL LOOKS HORRIBLE. that’s how horrible she is. my friends and i make fun of this dumb *ss performance all the time. “make me feel gooouuuddd”
