  1. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0LgbZNoPcRE This was hilarious.
  2. I was just about to post this... This is crazy. He was only 40... Man, Rest in Peace.
  3. The AP is reporting that Rumsfeld will step down. More to come. This is turning out to be a great week. I love elections.
  4. Well, my tv tuner is sure to get a nice workout.
  5. Yeah, I mean... that doesn't sound like Kanye at all... :sipread:
  6. Well that was fun. Who do you guys think has the best team?
  7. Any idea when this episode will air?
  8. Lol, good ones. I can answer a few of those.
  9. I'm with Julie on this one. There isn't one girl I know who wouldn't make fun of a guy for crying because of a movie, whether he's "in touch" with his feelings or not."
  10. Please tell me you own Halo and Halo2, but just aren't selling them. Lol
  11. It hurts to see him like that. His condition had seriously gotten worse. I really just wish the best for him.
  12. I thought he was going to name Ice Cube there for a second. I guess Chris Tucker is one of his favorite or preferred actors.
  13. While these things are true, they aren't definitive in terms of how good an actor someone is. Will himself has gone on record as saying that he's taken on certain roles in order to display and expand his range of skill and further cultivate his craft... If he were only concerned about the money and fame, he'd stick to making summer blockbusters. However, it's obvious that Will takes acting seriously. Even during the FPOBA days, when he gained more influence over the plot lines, he sought to address more serious themes and display more serious acting. I think the thing that many don't realize or are just starting to realize is that Will actually enjoys acting. He hasn't approached it as some fad or money making endeavor; he enjoys it and wants to be good at it. Anyone who approaches a craft in such a manner can't help but be a little concerned about what their peers and experts in their field think of them. It's great to be personally content, but it's even better to be personally content while having others speak highly of what you do. I don't think Will's primary goal is to "prove people wrong." I think he genuinely cares about film and really wants to display his skill and acting abilities as well as broadening his body of work, but as competitive as he is, I fail to believe that he isn't somewhat motivated by some of the unkind words some have said about his acting skills in the past. An Oscar would go a long way in silencing a lot of people. A lot. Of. People.
  14. Well, Will has already succeeded in making great movies... I don't think that there is any doubt that this will be a great movie. It's always nice to get that recognition though. The biggest knock against Will that critics bring up is the notion that he can't act, that he doesn't have range of character, and that he gets by on charm or special effects. An oscar would really serve to dissuade people of those opinions. It's also always good to be recognized by your contemporaries. Don Cheadle gave an interview sometime during the filming of Hotel Rwanda where he discussed how he managed to join that project. He mentioned that the producers had originally wanted Will Smith to play the lead role, and he sort of laughed it off like, 'would you believe that, they want Will Smith for this role.' I'm really not sure how seriously he's taken, and he must realize this as well. I feel as if he's still proving himself and he may very well feel the same way. Still he's about everybodys favourite actor, between +-12 and +-25. So why should he care if ome jalous sucka's dont take him serious? Because everyone still seeks recognition from their peers and others in their industry.
