ArtVanderlay Posted September 1, 2015 Share Posted September 1, 2015 Roger Goodell is on the phone with various hitmen as we speak. If they had gotten ANYONE other than Will Smith, I might go see it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same here; I have no interest in seeing what kind of "acting" Will Smith thinks may get him an Oscar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raziel Posted September 1, 2015 Share Posted September 1, 2015 In Redmayne's defense, if I did a turd like Jupiter Ascending right after getting an Oscar, I'd be jumpiung full into any Oscar bait movie I could for fear they'd revoke my award.

ArtVanderlay Posted September 2, 2015 Share Posted September 2, 2015 Also, after watching Focus this afternoon, I'm curious how much makeup Will had to use to make himself look 15 years younger in that film. Fun Fact: Margot Robbie, is literally young enough to be his daughter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eh, just watching Fresh Prince re-runs last night, it's hard to imagine the Fresh Prince as a dirty old man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madsplash Posted September 2, 2015 Share Posted September 2, 2015 I don't know man, in "Parents Just Don't Understand" he stole a car and picked up a 12 year old girl. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jiji Posted September 2, 2015 Share Posted September 2, 2015 I haven't read the book, but after watching the PBS documentary on League of Denial, Dr. Bennet Omalu's story should translate pretty well to a movie. It's weird, I used to love the Fresh Prince tv show and early DJ Jazzy Jeff and The Fresh Prince albums as a kid but there's just something about post Jazzy Jeff Will Smith that I've always loathed. Maybe it stems from me not being allowed to see the South Park movie as a kid even though all my friends did and having to sit through Wild Wild West instead, but I really don't like Will Smith in any capacity post '93-ish. Seriously, fuck I Am Legend. However, the League of Denial material is so strong and an important topic, that I want this to do well and may check it out in theatres even though it looks like Will Smith is trying his damndest to get that Oscar.

Death From Above Posted September 2, 2015 Share Posted September 2, 2015 Smith was fine in Ali, even if it's the glossiest bunch of Hollywood gloss that ever glossed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jiji Posted September 2, 2015 Share Posted September 2, 2015 Aaaaand, Sony made changes to Concussion so as to not upset the NFL more than necessary. Least surprising news but it certainly is disappointing to read. Edit: holy shit, that's Bryan Cranston? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Death From Above Posted September 2, 2015 Share Posted September 2, 2015 I think a lot of people are misinterpreting it as "bowing to NFL whining" as opposed to "trying to avoid litigation" which is probably closer to the mark. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dolfan in NYC Posted September 2, 2015 Share Posted September 2, 2015 It's called All The Way. It's a movie version of the play that won Bryan Cranston the Tony. It's about LBJ (and Martin Luther King) pushing through the Civil Rights Act of '64 while in the middle of the election. Lots of incredible machinations going on, like him abandoning Walter Jenkins when he's arrested for having sex with men in public, basically abandoning Lady Bird during the fight to get CRA through, and promising Humphrey, who he despised, the Vice Presidency for support of CRA. Basically, Cranston has just claimed the 2017 Best Actor in a TV Movie Emmy -- halfway to the EGOT! Though if Trumbo is anywhere near as good as it looks, he could be 3/4 of the way there.

AxB Posted September 2, 2015 Share Posted September 2, 2015 Will Smith is older now than James Avery was in the first episode of Fresh Prince of Bel Air. Which just feels wrong, somehow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
