I know. He's like a sad little stalker guy. At this point it has passed pathetic and moved to a place where we should be concerned about his mental health.

And he's raising a kid. Poor bastard. Rarely do I think abortion is the answer.

Oh jeez, if you watch any of those older shows on Deja-Vu or TV Tropolis you see all kinds of old posters, or band names dropped, or clothing styles... it's freaking hilarious!

Yeah, shut-up, I'm on mat leave and don't have much to do with my time. tongue Plus, there aren't any good sitcoms anymore frown

I questioned the choice of Will Smith in I am Legend and my friend accused me of being racist. all I can say is couldn't they have made a better choice for the last man on earth I mean there are alot of other actors I could see playing the part and Will Smith was not the first to jump to mind.

Hey, cheap shot from the pathetically uneducated. Quelle surprise. Look forward to seeing you on VH1 bitching about the more talented. Maybe you'll meet someone who recognizes your genius the next time through rehab.

While I agree with you, many of those are really crappy examples. They are either bad books or bad movies or both. The list has I Know What You Did Last Summer on it......how am I supposed to take that seriously?

I know this may seem silly, but I've noticed quite a few people talking about Will Smith being in the movie I Am Legend, and I just wonder - don't you think maybe you should reserve judgement until you've seen the movie? There have been a bunch of movies where I've been surprised with the casting, and yet it ends up working.

Just my 2 cents. Dammit, I used to have a cents button on my keyboard, and my new one doesn't have it. mad

Why is this in News of all places... Usually when people take a dig at someone in this section, it's because the victim is victimizing someone else with some shitty new movie or a plague of a song...

This just came out of nowhere.

And for the record, Will Smith is fucking rad. He's funny. He's witty. He's got his head about him, and he knows how to entertain. Sure, he's not the greatest actor or the best comedian. But the fucker's gotta be coming up to his second decade in the spotlight. That has to stand for something. He can hold his own.

Before him, the "loud-mouthed black comedian" pool was practically empty. He practically paved that way...

Say what you want, I Am Legend is going to be a really fun movie...

If you're really so upset that a favourite book of yours is going to be shat all over, either stop watching movies, or stop reading books. I don't know how old you are, but I'm sure you've noticed that there's no such thing as a "good" movie that has been based off a book.

Well, at least that's what all the nerds who read books say. smile

(Note: Fight Club was fucking sweet and Palahniuck himself said he liked the movie version better, haha...)

I hate to repeat myself, but in short: Stop expecting things, and learn to enjoy them. Otherwise you'll live a life full of disappointment... Aaaaand internet complaints...



actually LotR and the Chronicles of Narnia were both done quite nicely when compared to the books.

I'm going to go ahead and claim this is the stupidest post I have ever seen on this site. For so many reasons it is insane.

If you think Will Smith is "funny" and "rad" I'd like to introduce you to some tapes of guys named Richard Pryor and Dick Gregory.

He is coming up on his "second decade" of success because Hollywood is full of morons, not because of a shred of talent.

If you think he "paved the way" for "loud mouthed black comedians" I would like to introduce you to some black friends of mine here in Hollywood who would love to kick your ignorant teeth in.

You have been not just owned, but destroyed.



As for your list of books... Matter of opinion.

And you won't see me post said opinion in News, either.

And I guess I should have specified, that he paved the way for what we know as the "loud-mouthed black comedian for my generation".

You're taking yourself way too fucking seriously here. Haha. Come on. It's all a matter of opinion, and you spent this much time on a list of books... That I can't even begin to take seriously for many, many examples...

Oh, and what I find ridiculously funny, is you ended your post with...


You have been not just owned, but destroyed.



Hahaha! The first thing that came to mind was that skit on The Chapelle Show, where some random guy is freestyling ever-so-terribly, ends with "Oops, Pow, Surprise!" And then, either in an act of sheer desperation, or terrible judgement, he follows up with a nice fat "Ooooooooohhhhhh!" as if he just discovered he has the ability to shoot lasers from his fucking eyes.

Hehe. Just kind of suiting, seeing as we're all discussing loud-mouthed black comedians.

This whole thread is fucking stupid.
