He slapped a man on national television because he made a joke about his wife. That wasn't even a mean joke, it was just in somewhat bad taste. (He was also laughing at the joke until he saw his wife roll her eyes at it)
He is quite dumb

Maybe Will Smith actually tried to read Baudrillard to get a grip on some basic concepts behind the movie. However, english translations of Baudrillard are fucking awful and borderline unreadable (common issue with scary french philosophers for some reason) so he gave up. Also - fuck Will Smith. Denzel should've starred in The Enemy of the State.
I don't get people sometimes. Here's a hollywood elite who thinks they have the ability to physically assault another person (and so fucking brazenly in front of the whole world) and never be held responsible. Fuck Will Smith and anything he profits from including recognition of past performances. Comments in here are acting like a bunch of wannabe-nostalgia-cucks who don't care as long as the individual did a silly little dance and entertained them some. Dude needs serious rehabilitation and a reality check which will never come to him because people would rather talk about his performances instead of the actual person.
All the way, my brother! Fuck Will Smith and his whole fucking family.
Also, yes. He dumb.
I'm so glad he skips movies he would have ruined
Strongly agree. As an actor Will Smith always brings some sass to movies. I feel like he would've ruined a few scenes. Especially him teasing Agent Smith unnecessarily.
If they'd casted Smith as Neo than they wouldn't have casted Fishbourne as Morpheous
I think he would've been great in Inception though
If memory serves, the wachowskis said Lawrence understood the reference/source material far better than the other actors, he'd still be Morpheus
Studio pressure is a mother fucker
Independence Day is my favourite movie with Will Smith, my second favourite is the one where he is fighting Zombies can't recall the name. He was for a good long while the most bankable actor of colour in Hollywood ahead of Danzel and Morgan Freeman. TENET would have been a different movie with him alongside Robert Pattinson. The sad thing is how he raised his children to become part of the publicity machine instead of seeking out academic excellence. He fed them directly into the maw of the media machine where the last name and nepotism rule the roost. Sad really I am sure some of that can be laid at the feet of his practice of scientology.
2 things:
- I just recently learned that the "monsters" in I Am Legend were not zombies, they were vampires and they were supposed to be fully sentient... The movie adaptation missed the mark so much it is basically a completely different and unrecognizable story from the book.
- why is there a tag or something next to your name that says "Bot"? Is that supposed to be there? Is that something buggy happening in the front end I am using?
The Bot thing is because the system has decided that VPN use indicates automated account creation. I am not and its annoying but this nothing I can do anything about
If i had a nickel for every book to movie adaptation that completely missed the mark, well id have two nickels.
Not blaming him, I think he is a very enjoyable actor. Maybe not top tier, but I see why hes A list.
Can't watch him in anything since he hit Chris Rock. It ruined his characters in nearly every thing he was ever in.
Ah yes, great book. The film is fun but completely fails to adapt the point of the book.
I don't really know anything about how he raised his kids or any of that jazz, but his daughter makes some pretty rad music.
That's cool. His son is a lunatic.
Is the Left 4 Dead mod that replaces the safe room wall writings with his tweets still maintained?

I honestly think he's kind of a child or childish. I had always suspected it from some odd bits and pieces in lyrics gushing over the Cuban cigar in Jiggy, then feeling the need to point out that he won't light it, it's just for the look. I love that the rumor mill thought Nas wrote the lyrics in whole. The slap kinda sinched it, It looked like a grade schooler defending their girlfriend.
I mean, props that he did something about it, but he should have at least tried to act like he was a badass. He's a fucking actor for god sakes.

Becoming rich and famous at a young age is probably terrible for one's development.
He became a successful recording artist at 18, became a TV star at 22, and had a wildly successful run in both music and acting throughout his entire 20's and early 30's.
He never had a normal life, and it probably baked in a lot of things that one would normally outgrow by the age of 25 or 30.
I've heard it said that the age you get rich at is the age you stop developing.
I can look forward to a life of developing. Like a lot :c

Wow, I didn't realize the alpha-bros had found Lemmy!
The correct response to a comedian telling a joke at your partner's expense is to smile awkwardly and do nothing in the moment. What Will did was so out of bounds it was sad and pathetic.
I don't appreciate your name-calling. Please check your toxicity at the door.
That's fucking rich! The douche who thinks public assault is A-okay can't handle a little name-calling when it's directed at him. Get bent you ginormous twat-waffle.
That song is Miami, and I agree he's a child but tobacco is definitely disgusting and he's smart for skipping it.
Skipping it is fine, but skip singing about it then :) The kid part is wanting to look like he's into cigars.
https://genius.com/Will-smith-miami-lyrics Miami does not mention a cigar.

Here with this handsome kid, ciga-cigar
Right from Cuba-Cuba, I just bite it
It's for the look, I don't light it
"Gettin' Jiggy Wit It" does
He also turned down Django Unchained. Will Smith is just shit at picking roles.
Thank God. He would have ruined it.
Will can't help but be himself in a movie. Instead of... You know... "Act".
I don't want the alternate Django Unchained where Will Smith starts rappin and getting jiggy with it.
he's also extremely dedicated to maintaining his brand. turning down Django Unchained does feel like a HUGE wiff to me though. Django is basically Deadshot if Deadshot lived in the Antebellum South (presumably after the California gold rush since he spends some time in Colorado). maybe Tarantino films can't ever fit the Will Smith toxic positivity brand?

Will Smith in Inception feels a lot like Focus to me
maybe he just didnt get the point of the story or something. I dont think you can act well if you cant get into the character

Smith's agent should've just handed him an eXistenZ DVD and told him that Inception was basically that but dumber.
