  1. wow that was an incredible movie! I didnt think the ending was bad at all.
  2. yeah its fine, yesterday was just as busy as today.
  3. Im glad Will responded to what was said how he did. He often lets things go but i guess he was so mad by this misinterpretation he had to do something. I just hope the press dont start on Will, he seems to be getting more stupid rumours lately. They wrote what he said but with a title that say "Will thinks Hitler is a good person" which is leading the reader to misinterpret.
  4. ive provisionally booked the last 3 weeks in June off work lol, i pray im predicting right, but if he tours with hancock and its out July 2nd, surely it has to be within those 3 weeks. If he changes what hes doing i will cry.
  5. Where u bored by any chance, surely u have some biscuits or something u could have baked, gifts to be wrapped?
  6. oi! i never said feed your dog chocolate, its poisonous. What a helpful post this is, dont eat yellow snow and dont feed your dog chocolate.
  7. oh no read the comments under the story here, people arnt taking it well. http://x17online.com/celebrities/will_smit...tf-12222007.php And guys even if u dont agree with what willreign is saying dont insult his English, i cant speak any other language, hes doing well better than i ever could.
  8. Don’t know how I got here, I wonder the same thing, Not seen me since the fast round, what more can I bring? Will you bail out like hero, too scared to face it, Your ass whooped by a girl, get out just incase it, Makes you look dumb, your ego I will erase it, Don’t save your best line for me, coz then you’ll just waste it. I'm waiting for the gay line, go on call me a dyke, You have an obsession, is what it seems like. Coz all you write is trash, can't seem to keep it clean, Stinks like your underpants, have they seen a washing machine? I admit that was childish, should act like i'm 23, But you still need to ask your mum when you gotta go pee. Uh oh the mum line takes it below the belt, Where were you when the decent penises where dealt? Now twice below the belt, that’s the most action you’ve seen, I'm starting to act obscene, with this crazy rhyme scheme. Think i'm treating you mean? I think i'm going lightly, If I had a choice I’d kick your ass daily and nightly. Coz u think you’re a knight but you came with no armour, “This chicks going crazy will nobody calm her?” Accused of biting that was a total accident, Just coz I beat em’, sayin’ I’m cheating and I didn’t. Many have tried to stop me, but most have failed, I beat them so bad, either that or they bailed. Will you choose to face me, run away or be killed, Your like a piece of meat, flip you over and be grilled, Grilled up like Mike Jones, who is fan4ever? They’ll all forget you and I’ll go on forever. I feel bad for doin this to you, at this time of year, All your hopes of being a rapper will now disappear, No car, no money, no deal and no cheap thrills, Go ask Santa for a present ask him for some rap skills. (request, if this goes on over christmas can we take christmas day out of the 2 day limit please.)
  9. i think this one may actually happen (touch wood).
  10. i just hope this story doesnt take off everywhere else like it has here.
  11. Yeah i think it must be very hard for famous people bcoz they have to watch what they say. They could say anything and it be taken the wrong way and have it in all the newspapers. According to them Will has an open marriage, hes a muslim, a scientologist and now a nazi.
  12. wow the first time you'll see snow, i cant even imagine that. Word of advice put a rock in the middle of the snowball, its much funnier, ok ive never done that, im not that mean.
  13. wow thats a very bold statement to make.
  14. (lmao very witty) Then K smith came by with his video camera to tape Will and his private life so he could post it on youtube.....
  15. hes still a Christian but he respects other religions, this post explains all. http://www.jazzyjefffreshprince.com/forum/...amp;hl=religion
  16. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kXmAfAx9vrk
  17. Will walked by and slipped on bow wow's remains and....
  18. Only thing stopping me is work not letting me have time off, ive got all my hotels and train things planned. :thumbsup:
  19. im getting 2 days off woohoo lol, im spending christmas day with my family then at night im going to a friends party. Then its back to work for some 10 hour shifts, im sorry to moan in this post. Merry Christmas everyone!
  20. lol so they got thier news from a 7 year old.
  21. December 13, 2007. With the writers strike set to shutting down production at many major studios, TV networks are turning to reality shows. And there's one reality show being pitched that's getting a good bit of attention. MediaTakeOut.com has learned that a production company associated with Will Smith is pitching a reality show that follows his family. One network insider told MediaTakeOut.com, "The show follows the life of Jada, Will and the children - with the focus mostly on Jada and the children ... According to the producers, the Smith's are somewhere between the Osbourne's, who are crazy, and the Simmons' - who are a little too wholesome." And according to the insider, many networks are interested. The exec told MediaTakeOut.com, "The series looks attractive on paper - but with the strike, it looks like American Idol." http://www.mediatakeout.com/20279/will_smi...ality_show.html To me i think this is fake but if its true this could be huge!
  22. Actor Will Smith follows his Oscar-nominated turn in The Pursuit of Happyness with a sharp detour: zombie-flick I Am Legend, in which he plays scientist Robert Neville, possibly the last person left on Earth after a virus infects the populace and the only hope for a cure. And while he may not win awards for the role, Smith's bankability as an action star promises ample rewards just the same. PREMIERE talked to Smith about I Am Legend and power. You carry a pretty big acting burden in I Am Legend. You are mostly alone. We essentially wanted to make something new. And I'm by myself with a dog for the first 60 pages [of the script], you know what I mean? So that's terrifying. My God, am I as interesting as Tom Hanks [in Cast Away]? Will people want to watch me by myself for [an hour]? But working with [screenwriter] Akiva [Goldsman], we're essentially trying to sneak a small character[-driven] art film into the body of a big summer blockbuster. Did you shoot in a linear fashion so that you could get into the character? Well, the structure of the script pops all over the place. There are essentially three sections. There's pre-disaster, there's Neville in current-time disaster, and then there's a story turn that I can't reveal, which is the last section of the script. But when you view it, there are parallel stories going on and flashbacks and fever dreams and all kinds of things happening. So we [shot] it in the order of the script, but the order of the script isn't the order of the story. Do you think your character has lost hope? That's interesting. We've been debating whether or not this character has lost hope. Is it just a routine that he wakes up every day, and here is this routine so programmed that he does it? Or does he actually hope that he finds the cure? Hope is actually the enemy. So probably in his deepest subconscious he has to hope to still wake up every day, but there's no conscious hope at all. There's an ego or super ego, whatever. There might be a little id hope going on. If this happened to you in your own life, do you think you could survive? Oh, no. You know, it's really interesting. I've been working on a family charter essentially, putting together family rules and how we function and what our purpose is and all of that. And one of the basic ideas of why human beings form groups is because you can't survive by yourself. Most of us don't know how to distill clean drinking water. The second we get an infected tooth, most of us couldn't do what Tom Hanks did in Cast Away. So we need other people for our very survival. So I can't imagine that I'd be that quick a learner if something like this were to happen, and there was no chance of folks coming back. I'd drive that thing right off the George Washington Bridge. How do you describe this film to someone who has no idea what it is about? Because it is both sci-fi and horror. Yeah. Well, the studio's not going like this description, but it is a character drama. It is a huge summer-blockbuster character drama. And there are science-fiction elements. We are genre-conscious — there are zombies in this movie — but this is absolutely straight down the middle a character study. What do you think of the vampires in this film? Have you seen them? Yeah. They're totally digital, so it's one of those things where you never — you don't really get a good look. There are concept drawings and ideas but you're actually working with nothing. So the concept drawings looked great, but I haven't seen [them in] motion. Is there a lot of action in this movie? We have the standard three action sequences, but we're concentrating aggressively on not having action sequences for the sake of action sequences. We're holding ourselves firmly to the idea that it has got to be driven by character. So we have stunning action sequences, but I feel like you'll connect to them emotionally, but you're not going to feel like you're being bombarded with an action sequence. That's our hope. When was the last time you watched Charlton Heston in The Omega Man, which was also based on Richard Matheson's novel I Am Legend? Oh, God, we've been watching it every day. In the production office, we run all of the movies 24 hours a day so that we have a connection [to them]. I think that was [screenwriter] Akiva [Goldsman]'s idea. There are 16 monitors on throughout the production office. So Omega Man and 28 Days and Cast Away, all of those movies that are connected, that have similar themes [play constantly]. There are things that people do well that you want to avoid, and there's things that people do poorly that you want to avoid. What's it like working with director Francis Lawrence? He did the Men in Black II video, so we have worked together before. He's just extremely easy-going. He's smart and a huge researcher. And I love that. I'm so big on research. And we went to the Centers for Disease Control in Atlanta. We went to San Francisco and met with a couple of the foremost virologists and epidemiologists in the world. I just love programming all of that stuff. I just feel like it gives it a texture of authenticity. Did you work together with the screenwriter and director to develop the duality inherent in the script? Akiva doesn't need much help from anybody else to find that type of stuff. It's very collaborative, and we build on ideas that are there. One of the early things that you see in the script is there are signs everywhere that says God still loves us. Is he alive because he is a scientist? Well, he's immune. He has a natural immunity. His assumption is there were 6 billion people on earth. The KV virus had a 90 percent kill rate. So that's 5.4 billion people dead immediately, which left 600 million people with a 2 percent immunity. And that 2 percent immunity was before the dark seekers started getting hungry. So he feels like the chances are really slim for there being other people. Your daughter Willow is in I Am Legend and your son was in The Pursuit of Happyness. So is this the beginning of the Will Smith dynasty? Well, you know, it's like it's the family business. And we shoot shorts around the house all the time. It's just what our family does. And it's what our kids know. And, you know, it's something that they love doing. So we're not asking them to do it or forcing them to do it. It's just a part of our life. Is it your intention to delve into more character roles, ones that don't rely so much on the "Will Smith" character? What I learned working with Michael Mann [on Ali] and what I learned also with The Pursuit of Happyness — people seem to appreciate when I turn the Will Smith off, you know? Flip that switch the other direction. People, whether they like it or not, there seems to be some admiration for the attempt. It's like being in a fight, and you know you have a punch that'll knock the guy out and when the fight starts to get hard, it's difficult not to throw that punch. But to know that you are training another punch, and you'll be a better fighter if you allow yourself to train your left hand instead of just knocking everybody out with your right hand — because eventually one day everybody's gonna learn that punch, and it's not gonna be effective anymore. So I wouldn't say it's fun, but I would say it's exciting. Do you think that after Pursuit of Happyness and now this character drama, you'll do more character roles? I'm insane right now about diving into the mind of a character. I've always loved story. I'm attracted to great stories. And the roles that I've chosen in the past have always been story-driven. And if I love the story, I'll figure out the character. And now working with Michael Mann, now Gabriele Muccino on Pursuit of Happyness, there are no frills, no thrills — they want none of that. It's all about the character. And I'm starting to enjoy creating from that standpoint. No matter how cool it is, if it's not real for the character, we're not doing it. And that's not like me. Right after finishing The Pursuit of Happyness you jetted off to Rome to attend Tom Cruise's wedding and then you immediately jumped into I Am Legend — do you ever take any time off? You know, I feed my family with this, but it's actually my hobby also. So it's not something that I need a break from. It's what my life is and what my life has been for 20 years. I pretty much work seven-day weeks, you know. But it's not work in my mind. Do you remember when you realized you'd be performing in some aspect for the majority of your life? That's interesting, there was a story I was just thinking about the other day. I went from grade school to high school, and it was my first day in a big high school. And I guess I'm one of those people — I guess my condition would be called counterphobia, right? If that's a word. Like when I'm scared of things, I feel like I have to attack it, right? So I was terrified going into this new school. And I walked into the lunch room — there were about 400 students in the lunch room — and I walked in and whistled as loud as I could whistle, and I said, "Hey, it's okay, he's here now. Everybody can relax, he's here!" And a guy looked up and said, "Don't nobody give a **** that you here." And I looked and I said, "Well, I just got here. Gimme a few minutes and your girlfriend is gonna care that I'm here." How old were you? I was probably 14. So three minutes later, he put a lock over his finger and punched me in the side of my head and knocked me unconscious. And I remember laying there on the steps, and I remember thinking, Wow, that's a lot of power to have. This guy just got himself kicked out of school and could potentially go to jail based on something that I was able to control. And in that moment I remember feeling endowed with power. And I thought to myself, If I have enough power to potentially make somebody throw their life away, the way the universe works, I probably have enough power to change somebody's life for the better. And then from that point I remember starting to think about how I could use that for good things in that one moment, in that one instant — what could I do, what could I say, what could I adjust to make that big a difference in somebody's life for good? And then from that moment I started really thinking and really concentrating, really focusing on that first impression, that first moment, that stepping in and making the right impact and singing the right thing and, you know, looking at people with good intentions versus all your insecurities and all of that. And so I would say, probably I had a handle on it by the time I was 21 or 22 years old, where I felt like I started to have a little command and control over that power that we all have. Is that why you avoid playing bad guys? Yeah, I just enjoy inspiring good feelings. Like that's fun for me. Comedy I would say is my most fun. How people react to Hitch and how people react to The Fresh Prince of Bel Air, like there's nothing that matches that. So I just haven't been inspired to play a bad guy. I'm sure there is a bad guy at some point that has the right message, you know? Scarface had the right message about power and drugs and all of that. He showed you exactly where the mess was going to end up. So even though it's a tragic story, there's a positive message in it. Do you feel that, now, you have more power than other people? That's funny. No, I feel like, because so many times you have a microphone and a camera in front of you, [what you say] will be pumped around the world — that definitely gives you power. Power is in the movement of people. How many people can you move determines how much power you have. So I would say I have a stronger magnifying glass for the same power, the same amount of power I had when I was 14. I feel like internally it's honed and crafted to be able to use it more specifically, but it's essentially the same amount of power. I just have this, you know, "Warner Brothers machinery" that will pump the message more aggressively. http://www.premiere.com/features/4321/q-a-...will-smith.html
  23. Will Smith's Charities Include Scientology Will Smith — charismatic, friendly and polite — is also very charitable. His Will Smith Foundation has given hundreds of thousands of dollars to local civic organizations in the Baltimore and Philadelphia areas. Last year he was even one of the few clients of Creative Artists Agency to give money to the talent agency’s own tax-free fund ($2,500). But here’s something you don’t know: After Smith’s wife, Jada Pinkett, made "Collateral" with Tom Cruise in 2004, the couple donated $20,000 to Scientology’s literacy campaign, called HELP, The Hollywood Education and Literacy Program, which is the basis for Scientology’s home-schooling system. The 2005 contribution is listed in the federal filing for The Will Smith Foundation for the previous year. Since that time, Smith’s children have been home-schooled. This week, doing publicity for "I Am Legend," Smith reiterated his plan to start his own private school. Cruise may be hopeful about bringing Smith’s deep, charitable pockets into Scientology, but it won’t be easy as the "I Am Legend" actor has varied interests that already command his dollars. For example, in 2005, HELP was not the The Will Smith Foundation's top donation. That honor went to Yesha Ministries of Philadelphia. Smith gave them $140,000. Yesha, founded by Charles Coker, teaches Christian-based martial arts in Florida. Smith likes Yesha so much he gave them another $125,000 last year. That’s a lot of money for Tae Kwon Do. Among his other charitable donations in 2006, Smith gave $7,500 to a group called Partners for Educating Actors, Composers and Entertainers, or PEACE. No listing could be found for the group on guidestar.org, where all U.S. charities are registered. Cruise, meanwhile, will not leave Smith alone. He made a "surprise" appearance at Smith’s Walk of Fame installation this week, then flew to New York for the premiere of Smith’s new movie, "I Am Legend." This is Cruise’s methodology from previous campaigns to anoint new "friends." His PR history is filled with "surprise" visits and stiff hugs for new "pals." He’s the only Hollywood star we ever see do this, and it’s not because he’s so gregarious. In every case some kind of story follows about Cruise and Scientology recruitment. In this latest scenario, Smith seems somewhat won over after Pinkett already had taken the lead. Smith continues to defend Cruise and Scientology. Smith reiterated on "Access Hollywood" this week a similar idea he presented in a men’s mag this month: that Scientology and the Bible are pretty much the same. He told "Access": "I was introduced [to] it by Tom and I’m a student of world religion. I was raised in a Baptist household, I went to a Catholic school, but the ideas of the Bible are 98 percent the same ideas of Scientology, 98 percent the same ideas of Hinduism and Buddhism." On at least a basic level, Smith might be thought incorrect in that statement. Neither Christianity, Hinduism, Buddhism nor, for that matter, Judaism espouse the idea of space aliens occupying one’s body. Just for the holiday aspect, Smith added a line — which can be seen on the syndicated show’s Web site, that should get everyone in the mood for rockin’ around the Christmas tree: "How can I condemn someone for what they believe and I believe that God was born from a pregnant virgin?" http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,316808,00.html
