"So, I know Will Smith is kind of dated, but for my money, it doesn't get any better than 'Wild Wild West.' " "Is that so?" "I just like the lyrics. Sometimes, I like to tell girls I'm a buffalo soldier … like, you know, from the song ... six gunnin' this… pew pew?" Finger pistols are made at this point. "I'm going to be going now." It never fails. I meet somebody, conversation is marginally less than awkward, and oh my God, is this friendship being formed? We seem to have similar tastes, and it seems as though the stars are aligned. This is truly a remarkable event. And then the topic of music taste comes up, and everything goes awry. People love to assume that, based on how I dress, I must listen to a certain type of music. This really isn't the case. The assumptions are made, corrected by me, and in the process of making this correction, the other party is alienated. Silence then blankets the landscape. Skirting the topic of music would be the best way to avoid the issue, but I realize this is impossible. People believe that learning of a person's musical tastes is tantamount to using a crystal ball to scry into the innermost depths of a person's psyche. If this were the case, Will Smith fans would have been alone and miserable in the '90s, and they would now be relegated to flipping burgers or something equally shameful, like being Will Smith. Sadly, this utopian world does not exist, proving the assumption false. Failing this, the best way to avoid the situation would be for people not to make assumptions about musical tastes based on appearance alone. I consistently find myself a victim of this assumption, but the blame doesn't rest solely on the presumptive populace. For one, I wear box-framed glasses, and I am rarely found without a man purse - an honest-to-God man purse. These fashion choices mean I listen to emo, right? That man purse means I'm in touch with my feminine side. Perhaps I was at that Dashboard Confessional show last week. Or perhaps not. The box-framed glasses suggest an aura of conceit. Upon the utterance of Dashboard Confessional, maybe I'll spout off something pretentious. Perhaps I'll reference a Velvet Underground lyric and walk away with my head held high in the air. Or maybe I chose my glasses because I'm fond of right angles, and the man purse is with me at all times because it contains the oxygen canisters I so desperately require to breathe. But really, appearance is merely an inkblot test; the viewer sees whatever he or she wants. Regardless of what my appearance may suggest, I don't judge others based on their taste in music. Good music is good music, and people should listen to it and appreciate it regardless of what stigma is attached to it. Good music should be loved without shame and without thought to those who are willing to turn it into something it isn't. At the end of the day, music is nothing more than music, and that is why it's so perfect. I say all this because I have a dark secret, and I am trying to protect myself from the pretentious powers that be. Were I to mention this secret, the gavel would surely strike down harshly, and I'm certain my box-framed glasses and man purse would be confiscated. It is a secret that causes me much shame. But in the spirit of journalism, I'll bare my soul. In the conversation I used to introduce this column, the person espousing the ideals of Will Smith was I. I'm a buffalo soldier. Look, it's like I told ya. http://media.www.centralfloridafuture.com/...e-3042702.shtml

DJ Jazzy Jeff, the turntable master who popularized the “transformer scratch” and the “chirp scratch,” will play in Whistler this weekend. After releasing his first album, Rock the House, in 1987, as half of DJ Jazzy Jeff and The Fresh Prince, the master has never looked back. DJ Jazzy Jeff became the first corporately sponsored DJ and also designed the first mixer for scratching — the Gemini 2200 or the Jazzy Jeff Signature Series. Since branching out from long-time friend and collaborator Will Smith, Jazzy Jeff established his own production company, Touch of Jazz, based in his hometown of Philadelphia. This year alone, Jazzy Jeff has released two new EPs, The Return of the Magnificent and The Return of Hip Hop. You can catch DJ Jazzy Jeff doing what he loves to do best on Saturday (Oct. 20) at Moe Joe’s, with supporting sets by DJ Rosco. Advance tickets are available for $15 at the Glacier Shop, Moe Joe’s and The Circle. Tickets will be available at the door for $20. http://www.whistlerquestion.com/madison%5C...F0?OpenDocument

Miguel Melendez to take over management co. Miguel Melendez has been named president of Overbrook Management. He was tapped for the new post by Overbrook Entertainment managing partners James Lassiter, Will Smith and Ken Stovitz. Melendez joined Overbrook in 2001. The management company, a division of Overbrook Entertainment, handles a client base of actors, musicians and hybrids that includes Robin Thicke, Paula Patton, Jada Pinkett Smith and Caleeb Pinkett. Melendez recently recruited Academy Award winner Jennifer Hudson to the fold. "For the past six years, Miguel has provided our clientele with the finest career guidance and support," Stovitz said. "His instincts and knowledge of this business make him invaluable. Of course, this was the logical next step." Before Overbrook, Melendez ran his own his management company, Melendez Entertainment Group. Overbrook Entertainment has a first-look deal at Sony and has both film and TV projects in various stages of development and production. Past films include "Hitch" and "The Pursuit of Happyness." http://www.variety.com/article/VR111797415...=1&nid=2562

Smith chops Karate Kid rumours Will Smith has said that there's not going to be any Karate Kid remake for him or his son, but does reveal that one of his upcoming films is a comedy playing against the brilliantly flat Nicolas Cage. Time Share will be a film that follows the hilarious antics of two families who have booked the same holiday. Woohoo! Tie me down and tickle me with a brick. Sounds desperately awful, but what is great news is that Will Smith is not doing a remake of The Karate Kid and that his son will not be involved. Interestingly the rumour was killed by E!Online at Yahoo News but it revealed something more about the rumour, something I hadn't heard. Jackie Chan was being touted as playing Mr. Miyagi. Now that would have been great casting indeed. If there ever is to be a remake, I would get Chan signed up right now, I love that idea. http://www.filmstalker.co.uk/archives/2007...id_rumours.html

"I am Legend" elevates SL to new heights http://img207.imageshack.us/img207/1960/willowbo8.jpg You need a console for a top-notch game conventional wisdom says...never try a narrative driven concept on a all-things-go platform like SL. The Electric Sheep Company and Warner Brothers said: "naaaaaaah"!!! Judge for yourself if the "I am Legend" Survival Game in SL is really upping the ante. Draxtor was impressed (after he recovered from his vampire wounds). http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5ooux2UxEwg

Warner Bros. launches ‘I Am Legend: Survival’ game playable in Second Life Warner Bros. Pictures unveiled an original, online, multiplayer first-person shooter/RPG game playable in Second Life. The largest and most expansive Second Life game ever launched in support of a film release, I Am Legend: Survival transports players into an eerie replica of over 60 acres of New York City set in the chaotic year preceding the movie. The future of mankind hangs in the balance as players choose to play in either of two rival factions, uninfected and infected. Uninfected characters must fight to survive as they desperately seek the cure for the terrible virus that is destroying mankind. Infected characters have only one objective: to stop uninfected characters at all costs. The game features player-customizable avatars loosely based on characters in the film and New York City-based environments that change and expand over time, and supports both voice and text chat for in-game multiplayer communication. The game is available as a free download. I Am Legend: Survival is inspired by the upcoming feature film “I Am Legend,” starring Will Smith as Robert Neville. http://www.901am.com/2007/warner-bros-laun...econd-life.html

I AM LEGEND COMICS STORIES Warner Bros. has provided The Continuum a look at the first I Am Legend online comics story from DC Comics' Vertigo imprint that debuts on Thursday. According to the studio, plans are for a new I Am Legend story to appear online every week leading up to the film's release on Dec. 14. Here's how the stories are set up: "A deadly virus has taken hold of the world -- rejected by a few (the immune), killing many (the dead) and leaving the rest (the infected) -- who live on to hunt the living, after dark. These are voices paying homage to Richard Matheson's classic novel. This is the experience of a dying mankind and the foretelling of a new world before we meet the legend, Robert Neville."

Yo dude, ease up Julie a little. It sounds to me like the person that asked the address wasn't that serious. Of course everyone has the right to ask anything they want, but its hard know when to take someone seriously over the net because you can't hear their tone of voice. Julie isn't sayin she is a better fan just because she comes on this forum, but merely that 99% of everyone on the WS board are just teenage girls that think he is hot or dudes that just listened to Switch for the first time and decided to check it out. This forum is a place for people that are Jazzy Jeff and Fresh Prince fans, that have been down with his music since Rock the House. Maybe the WS board was full of teenage girls some time ago, or people who didn't know too much about Will, but now it's different. Sometimes there are pointless topics, but that happens in every forum, like in this one for example. I've seen people spamming here too. It's not so strange. But if you go to ws.com now you'll find a cool place with nice people, some of them are members on jjfp.com too. The site is very updated, and there are loads of interesting threads. The problem here is that you think that site hasn't changed, and you'll hate it forever although y'all don't know what's going on there right now. There are good members on there, believe it or not, and like I said people who don't want a good relationship between the two sites are not so good fans.
