Mutha-fugga Denzel Washington
By Bernie on 28 Dec 2007
Please stop reading now if you cannot handle profanity. There is no way for me to tell this story without cursing. I've been meaning to publish this for about a year now and taking out the cuss-words just doesn't capture the flavor of the moment.
So please excuse.
Anyway, my friend Murray (who happens to be black) has a younger brother Jerome. Here's how Jerome told the story:
So I was waitin in line at Gray's Papaya on Sixth Avenue in the City when my friend pokes me in my side and nodding his head to a guy in front of us, says, "look, it's Denzel Washington!" I look but I don't think it's him, so I says, "that's no Motha' Fuckin' Denzel Washington!"
Well, this guy turns around holding a hot dog and with a super-nigger look like he had in "Training Day" points his finger at me and says, "Yes it is motha' fuckin' Denzel Washington!"
Man, I nearly shit.
I wish I had been there, the look on Jerome's face must have been priceless.
Denzel Washington can get away talking like that, and I find it interesting that Denzel can convincingly play bad guys, really bad guys, quite well: Training Day [HD DVD] and American Gangster come to mind. On the other hand, I don't think Will Smith can play a heavy at all. Not for lack of talent, but his personality seems ill-suited to portray evil.
