it seemed like in the i am legend thread, there was a lot of hating on big willie.

i like the guy. he can be funny, he can do drama...and he is one sexy black man.



thoughts?

Philly Represent.

whoot.

Can I go home now?

I like him for the most part. I do get tired of the Uber bad ass kill everything in sight bad boys, I Robot roles he takes though. When he steps outside of the action flicks like Ali, Six degrees of seperation, and The Pursuit of Happyness he usually is pretty good

I'd probably think he's very annoying if I hadn't enjoyed Fresh Prince so much as a kid

Will Smith: dumbass

Will Smith: I am ... Scientologist?

If Will Smith is not a Scientologist, he’s not doing much to dispel the groundswell of rumors that place him front and center in the controversial church.

Smith, who was raised in the Baptist church, recently told Men’s Vogue that “98 percent of the principles [in Scientology] are identical to the principles of the Bible. … I don’t think that because the word someone uses for spirit is ‘thetan’ that the definition becomes any different.” (In case you haven’t taken your beginner course or searched Wikipedia, Scientologists consider a ‘thetan’ to be a spiritual being — possessing both a mind and body — who has lived through several incarnations.)

Moreover, sources close to the actor are no longer as tight-lipped about his religious preferences. “He’s been getting more and more involved [in Scientology],” said one source. “And it isn’t just him, it’s definitely [his wife] Jada, too.” This backs up an earlier Us Weekly report that quotes a source as saying, “She’s more gung-ho about Scientology than Will.”

So why make a big deal out of Smith’s affiliation with Scientology? “It’s not that it’s such a big deal, but when some of his friends, like Tom [Cruise], get so much grief for it, it seems like it’s time to just be honest about it.”

somewhere jazzy jeff is spinning in his...well, dj booth.

Well lets see here...he has saved the world from aliens twice, robots, and mutants. Gee, he'll be out of a job soon.

remember parents just don't understand? that guy, that fucking guy, is the biggest movie star in the world now. that guy, that fucking guy, has been nominated for an oscar.

Can't stand him, the guy is a total fucking dork. I can't take anything he does seriously.

Pffft, Arnold saved the world many times more than this punk. Maybe after another decade or so he'll be ready to be the governor.

im a fan

I love him. I think he's fantastic and underrated as an actor. I don't understand the hate. I don't get it at all. He made me cry in I Am Legend. He made me cry in Pursuit Of Happiness. That reaction shot towards the end of the movie is among the greatest I've seen. The guy is overlooked.

I don't care about anyone's religious or non-religious affiliation. I don't give a shit. It's not my business. I could really care less. I don't know why other people should care either.

Will Smith is a staple of this generation.

i don't think i've seen any of his more dramatic stuff, but he's a great comedy/action hero actor.

Rent happiness and watch his performance. It's a good movie and he's excellent.

Me love big willie

Like him or not the guy has more charisma in one pinky than most people do in their whole bodies. Plus he can act. I loved him in Ali.

lol, so true. i haven't seen that. i really need to.

aside from maybe bad boys 2, i dont think there is a movie of his i dont enjoy ( though i havent seen i robot or the new one yet ) , and i like listening to his music as well, it may be corney at times or seem to get out dated quick, but its fun and that can be all it takes sometimes

i'm probably the only person in the world who enjoyed Bad Boys 2, the chemistry between him an Lawrence i thought was hilarious.
