was there anyone worse at picking roles and scripts than will smith? his career could have been insane but instead he spent the 2000s starring in shitty oscar bait like "Seven Pounds", "Collateral Beauty" and "Concussion"

Dont tell that to the shark tale spammer.
, sir! I shan't permit thine wanton wassails against mine own household. Thenceforth, if thou canst but refrain in swith from such ill-begotten verbage, I shouldst be most inclined to engage in such sanguinary as to reave this night asunder! Mayhap this magdalen thou lampoons couldst be of a loathly sort, howbeit, further insult would only hasten thine expiry! Verily, mine espousal be not a sheath for thine bodkin!
>I shouldst be most inclined to engage in such sanguinary as to reave this night asunder!
if you're happy and you know it
>Seven Pounds
Saw it in theaters. Remember thinking it was bloated melodramatic tripe
that scene between him and woody Harrelson when he tries to figure out if Ezra is good man by demoralizing him over phone is heartache kino
>declined being django
That’s actually a W for him that movie was horrible
>declined being in rush hour opposite jackie chan because he didn't want to do a buddy cop film
Huh? But he did three Bad Boys movies, which are buddy cop films...
Exactly. Why would he get involved in another buddy cop franchise when hes already committed to one
Say what you will about the 2nd half of his career, but he was in some fricking kino in the 90s
Fresh Prince
Bad Boys
Independence Day
MIB
Wild Wild West
Dr Doolittle
Nutty Professor
Sister Act
Dustin Checks In
Might Joe Young
absolutely insane decade for him
>
>Wild Wild West
Anyone who enjoys this film and hasn't heard "the spider story" must hear the fricking spider story.
Kinda long, but stick with it, I promise it's worth it. Fricking great look into how batshit Hollywood execs are.
Smith was always a better storyteller than filmmaker. Too bad there's no place in mainstream entertainment for that. It's all stand up comics all the time.
> Too bad there's no place in mainstream entertainment for that
Podcasts, which he does. Jay and Silent Bob Get Old was also a pretty popular live show he did
And then The Flash came out, has a scene where Nicolas Cage Superman fights a giant spider, and Kevin Smith said it was awesome…
How does Kevin Smith look healthier here than he does now
Our friends Nick, Adam and Stav are so funny.
Thanks Will
being neo in the matrix because he didn't understand the script
Thank fricking God, I am beyond fatigued when it comes to seeing those people everywhere. Reminder, Cypher did nothing wrong.
Youre wrong about the matrix one, he wanted in, his wife Jada told him to pass
>got on the movie herself
>succesfully sabotaged her husband again
I dont think Will has the strenght to do it but i would not be surprised if he kills her
Keanu Reeves was the better choice. Matrix wouldn't have worked as well with Smith.
will smith as neo would have ruined the movie
also wow they were really ahead of the curve with the "all the heroes should be heckin black" shit.
love posts like these because it reveals that chuds just don't want anyone black as a lead period. the whole talking point of "stop blackwashing historically white characters" was always a lie.
We already have ample proof that chuds are indeed miserable and brainwashed.
You are moronic to think some baboon would sell the look and feel of a movie based entirely on anime
How do you even kill such a sextoy?
Will smith had kino throughout most of his career imo. Man got buck broken by his son's friend and lost his damn mind.
Yet he was the biggest draw in the 2000s. Getting Will used to be a license to print money. He really succeeded in spite of himself.
>Matrix
Saved the movie. Can't imagine will as neo.
>rush hour
Chris rock is a better fit. Allthough will could also have been very funny in it, if had not been a stupid Black person.
>Django
Yeah, jamie foxx nailed that role. No way in hell will smith would have controlled his ego to make thos movie not suck.
>i am legend
That's just will bein a stupid Black person.
The rock wasn't in rush hour moron
Wait wait, chris rock and chris tucker are two different people? I thought they were the same guy just doing two personalities.
that's pretty funny
I love that bit where the kids ask dave chappelle of he's Chris Rock and he goes "close enough"
>Chris rock
I don't know if this is intentional or not but it's funny either way
He could’ve been the black Tom Cruise
Thanks Will

fricking hell. if this is true i cant blame him anymore.
i think the matrix might have been way bigger if he'd done it the whole timeline would have changed.
It would've been weird to see The Matrix starring Smith, especially since Men in Black came out less than 2 years before.
Do you not realize they are different movies?
A black Neo wouldn't be very redpilled, I'm glad the Wachowski sisters dodged that bullet
>was there anyone worse at picking roles and scripts than will smith?
Sean Connery turned down Morpheus and Gandalf
Imagine Nicolas Cage as Aragorn. People give Viggo shit for his weird accent, but he read the book on his way to NZ and understood it instantly because of nordic folklore.
Nick Cage would have played a whacko aragorn. Guaranteed box office bomb of felloeship and direct to dvd sequels.
Won't lie I would want to see that tbh. Never know what you're gonna get. From the BEES, to "Lol I control flame nao" and everything else
Those movies would be bad if he had accepted tho
I love I Am Legend the book, its one of my favourite books. I'll never stop being pissed off at that film completely missing the point of the ending and the entire book as a result.
I didn't know that was Will Smith's fault, but it makes sense. Dude's a fricking moron, how he managed to be so successful before he was mind broken by his wife I'll never know.
What was supposed to happen in the ending?
vampires have formed a new stable society and it turns out he's been the monster they've been afraid of the whole time ergo "I am Legend", he is basically to them what vampires originally were to humans and they catch him and he dies
>declined being neo in the matrix
Thank god for that.
The contrast between will smith in Bad Boys I and the later Bad Boys II, it is quite emblematic of his head getting too big
This film is more enjoyable now than it was in 2004. The american animation film landscape has changed so much since then.
The "Old Wavy" logo was removed in the final film. There's an empty space where that logo should be.
Wow what a fun fact
Sean Connery

kek I just looked it up
How the frick did anyone invest money in this getting made?
holy shit
i refuse to believe this is real
JUST
At least he kept his wife's wiener in his own damn mouth.
Hope that Will Smith fish treats Renee Zellweger fish as she deserves after they finally hook up at the end. She was perfect.
imagine being a famous millionare movie star and your life just sucks lmao
like what the frick is our society when the top of achievers have nothing to show for it but empty money
who? will's? the guy was banging prime margot robbie, his life is awesome. he just insists on shitting on his life by staying with that absolute b***h jada pinkett.
he really needs to just drop her and set himself free
I actually think a lot less of Tarantino for even considering Will Smith for django. What the frick was he thinking?
Q.T. also wanted Leo as Hans Landa in IB. Didn't work out in the end and he lucked out with Waltz.
>was there anyone worse at picking roles and scripts than will smith
clearly there were. don't you know about mr July?
Don't forget he turned down Inception too
>turns down Nolan.
I think Nolan is hack, but frick me getting a role in his films is gold. It instantly raises an actor's worth, wtf.
Will Smith was at his peak in the 90s, this is no secret, everyone knows this. The only good shit he did was Fresh Prince, Independence Day and the first Men In Black movie.
enemy of the state and bad boys are both great films
The funny thing is he declined the part in The Matrix because after doing Independence Day and Men in Black, he didn't want to be typecast as a sci-fi actor.
Then he went on to make Men in Black 2, I Robot, and I Am Legend, which along with Independence Day and MiB1, pretty much define his film career
Even After-Earth is all his fault, he was brought a very normal script but wanted a Sci-Fi adventure, if you remove all the futuristic shit from it then it becomes a movie about a father and son stranded in the woods that has a bear in it, which would have been an actual kino film
hol up
being in rush hour opposite jackie chan because he didn't want to do a buddy cop film
>didn't want to do a buddy cop film
>bad boys and men in black
what?
Will Smith is a luciferean who's sold his soul to the devil. It's why he had protection to freak out at the Oscars with no repurcussions and his family is in a shambles.
