i just gave facts and you are giving feelings and theories. refute what i said or stfu
and i wasn't ranking them against each other, i specifically said "downplaying her" at the time period is cac/incel type ish when she was obviously a star by any standard.
ranking them against each other is fukking stupid
Say what
Mentioning the “culture” and calling people incels is facts?
The only reason that anyone in this thread is correcting the record about their star power in 1992/1993 is because the overwhelming sentiment in this thread is that he was some dude getting with an established actress. That’s wild to anyone who lived through it, and if nobody was in here banging that drum there’d be nothing to say.
She was still getting her first opportunities and sharing screen time with actors who were established.
No matter how much the culture loved her early movies, she wasn’t making bread yet and didn’t have any leading roles. Jungle Fever is a classic, but it only had a $12 million budget, and Halle wasn’t even a lead in it. So she didn’t YET have the money or acclaim that brehs in here are talking about. She was what she was at that time, a hot up and comer.
Calling that “downplaying her” is straight feelings when the point people are making is that Justice wasn’t some fledgling dude getting with an established and accomplished actress at that point.
But David Justice played in a World Series that year that had global ratings that still haven’t been fukked with:
“The Series telecast drew an overall national
Nielsen rating of 24.0 and a 39 share for CBS; Game 7 drew a 32.2 rating and 49 share. As of 2021, no subsequent World Series has approached either number in national television ratings.”
It doesn’t have shyt to do with being a man or a woman. Correcting people on a timeline of events shouldn’t be some big deal that even needs defending for people that like facts. It would be just as dumb as me saying that David Justice is the bigger star right now. Anyone correcting that would be justified regardless because it’s not accurate.
