Reply #272: Aside from the degrading sex scene with the repulsive Billy Bob...

[UdoKier]

There was the fact that the film was the same old same old story of black woman meets white guy and depends on him to save her poor messed-up ass, even as messed up as he is. It was an awful film.

A lot of people find over-the-top sex scenes like the one in Monster's Ball degrading, not just me. It was totally gratuitous and sad.

And no, I don't like seeing other actresses degrade themselves in this way, either, no matter their color.

And yes, she was conservative, until "Monster's" and that other thing where she got her tits out with Travolta. I had respected her for that. She had a career and a following, and she didn't need to do it. I liked her in X-Men...
