"The world is a hellish place, and bad writing is destroying the quality of our suffering."
In 2018, Jussie was apparently at a Barnes & Noble promoting his (then recently) published book "The Family Table: Recipes and Moments from a Nomadic Life". At the time, I was "cleaning shop" and selling a bunch of items back to the local Half Price Books, and figured it'd be a decent opportunity to enhance some of the remaining merchandise with celebrity autographs that Half Price could buy back at a premium. So I headed over with a "Mighty Ducks & D2: The Mighty Ducks" Duology DVD, a copy of Barack Obama's In His Own Words, and a F1 World Grand Prix N64 cartridge that I had almost thrown away because it was essentially worthless.

Jussie signed all of the things I brought, but for each item he said something vaguely cryptic like "They're gonna elect me king one day" (to Obama's book) and "They put ghosts in these things; that's how they work" (to the N64 cartridge). But when it came to the DVD, Jussie studied the Emilio Estevez on the cover for a few seconds before saying something like "I never even met that motherfucker." I asked him how it was possible to star in the movie and never cross paths with the lead actor, and he said that they used a stunt double for Estevez for the entire movie.

"The world is a hellish place, and bad writing is destroying the quality of our suffering."
Things Heat Up on Set of White Hot Holiday Special

quote:

But on the set of Taraji's White Hot Holiday Special, co-stars Jussie Smollett and Terrence Howard allegedly got into a bare-knuckle brawl over "philosophical differences" that seemed oddly appropriate for the White Hot Holiday Special.

...Terrence Howard described himself as a "godly man" when recalling the interaction. "I believe in the one true god and that Satan worshippers are a real thing. I believe that [Smollett] is a devil worshipper."

For Howard, who is slated to play himself on the upcoming special, the themes of the Christmas holiday special shine an especially bright light on his co-stars alleged actions.

"I'm trying to spread the word and cheer of the lord and [Smollett's] over there pondering his evil device. This ridiculous crystal thing. I don't know if he's just joking or if he actually thinks he's a warlock, but it's a sin either way, the way I was raised, it's a sin to even joke about a sin. I'd keep telling him to knock that poo poo off and next thing I know, he's got it out again. Talking to it like he's having a conversation with Satan or something."

Finally, things came to a head when Howard reportedly "slapped" the crystal out of Smollett's hands; according to witnesses, the object was destroyed when it struck the ground, but Smollett was later seen with another one on set.

While charges were not pressed against either actor, they were instructed to keep their distance from one another. A spokesperson for Smollett said that the actor would try his best to respect the religious sentiments of his coworkers and use his crystal device less when on set.

Its incredibly, nay vitally important to remind everyone that Terence Howard does not believe 1x1=1. Not specifically a critique of his intellect, or necessarily supporting Jussie's JO crystal, but its more in that TH does not agree with conventional mathematics.

It's funny reading this. I'm not great at math but even with my limited understanding of algebra I can immediately see his flawed understanding right on the first page. I wonder if it's an intentional thing.

Edit: upon forcing myself to read it through I'm fairly certain it must be a joke. He basically states that 1+x==1*x but fails to explain situations like 2*5, is that 7 or 10? does multiplication not exist?

"The world is a hellish place, and bad writing is destroying the quality of our suffering."
Terrence Howard's obsession with bizarre mathematics started after his interactions with Smollett circa 2014-15. It's a well known fact that "esoteric algebra" is traditionally considered a foil to Jussie Smollett's crystal indulgences. If Terrence can prove that 1+1 = (something other than 2), then he could rewrite the laws of geometry and prove that the crystal simply cannot be. This is all discussed in the bible and Terrence, as a child of God, almost has a moral imperative to do so.

"The world is a hellish place, and bad writing is destroying the quality of our suffering."

quote:

Smollett parts the beaded curtains that lead to the backroom of a gift shop in Sedona, Arizona. To ordinary eyes, this gift shop is like every other shop on the Red Rock Scenic Byway; within a quarter mile, there are seventeen stores selling various geodes and crystals, gemstones and raw precious metals--all with purported powers. Peridot to counter dread, Tiger's eye for anxiety, Jade to alleviate fears.

Smollett already knows that most of these are scams. For example, Hematite is always sold to cure anxiety; nobody realizes that the heavy and ponderous ore can, ironically, imbue its holder with speed and alacrity. Smollett would know: He ran his fastest 5K while his pockets were filled with pounds of the metallic stone.

But this particular gift shop is different: Smollett knows that, for a select clientele who have already proven themselves, this gift shop will sell precious minerals that are truly powerful.

In the back room, an ancient woman sits in the Holy Buddha Lotus position; her face is creased with deep wrinkles such that her expression is inscrutable. He visually scans her chakras. Her vestments--the deep maroon turtleneck, the crushed velvet blue blazer, the glasses hanging from a delicate chain around her neck, the turquoise jewelry--are those of a wise woman who practices The Way of Hoshen.

"I have travelled far in search of the crystals of Urim and Thummim." He produces his priestly breastplate and holds it up so that she might see, but her gaze does not shift from the floor. As he points to each of the 12 spaces on the vest, he says, "I have already acquired the Amethyst, the Carbuncle, the Malachite and Heliodor and Chrysolite and Carnelian. I risked much for the Jasper, and studied for years that I might answer the riddles true for the Lapis Lazuli. I paid dearly for the Yellow Serpentine. And now I seek the sacred Sardonyx, such that the Hoshen becomes whole."

The woman smiles almost imperceptibly and a second, younger woman in a Yavapai College sweater emerges from the front room with a large wicker bowl in her hands; in the bowl are dozens creamy red and brown gems. The color of Mars. The color of trillions of years of erosion that resulted in the exalted Grand Canyons and walls of Zion. The Sardonyx.

"They are twenty for each, or thirty-five for two," the wise woman warns.

Smollett knows that this is a test, and removes only one from the bowl. The woman sees this and nods sagely. A selfish man would take more than one--he would be unworthy of such power--but an enlightened seeker would suffice with a single stone.
