Why did she say 'no Denzel movies' in this situation?
Native speaker’s answer
Rebecca
This sentence may be a bit confusing to English learners who are not extremely familiar with American pop culture. Denzel Washington is a very famous American actor who has been active in the entertainment industry for decades. The speaker says "no Denzel movies" as she does not want to watch any movies with him in it. We can use this grammatical pattern in a variety of ways. Ex. I want a hamburger. No cheese. Ex. Help me pick out a dress. No pinks.
