Will Smith

So will Smith has a new movie coming out this weekend, some romantic comedy called "Hitch" I believe, but this will not be a review of that movie mostly not only do I not want to see it, I'm sure that it will suck. I'm going to use Will Smith as a how-to-guide as to how to completely sell out, while not making it seem like you're not.

I'm not completely against Will Smith, he did his thing. I will never hate on anyone for doing what they have to do to get where they need to be. Plus, I did have a huge crush on him when I saw his shirt rip open when he was running down the street in Bad Boys. He's cute and extremely charismatic. Not that many human beings, let alone actors, have the charisma on the level that he has. Its just that acting/entertainment snobs like myself can always find something wrong with a otherwise foolproof scenario such as Will Smith, "the actor".

Let me ask you this question; Are you able to think of a character's name that Will Smith played in the movie? (Ali doesn't count because that's the movie's title, neither does Mike Lowry from Bad boys because the only reason you remember is because Martin Lawrence made fun it so much) When you are reiterating the plot of one his movies, do you say "will smith, did this, then Will did that, will was the shit." Hmm... Real first name, not good. Then ladies and gentlemen you are not speaking of an actor, you are speaking of a movie star. What you don't know is Will is very smart on top of being cute, and he's got all of you all fooled. You like him, he seems like a good friend, that's why you saw Bad Boys 2, I.robot, and (god help me) Ali. Don't worry its not just you, he's got the industry fooled too, that's why he got that Oscar nomination for Ali. You, see what people don't know is that those actors campaign for those Oscar slots. The academy does not just see these wonderful performances and vote for them, they vote for the person portraying them, its almost like an election rather than an honor bestowed upon you. Want proof? Denzel Washington beat Russell Crowe for the best actor the same year that Russell beat up the producer of the British oscars. Russell swept every major critics' best actor category that year...except the academy award. Which explains why Will got that nod for Ali. But yet, I don't know anyone who liked him in that movie. I actually thought Jamie Foxx gave the standout performance. But I digress.....

Now thanks to Will I have completely broken my New year's resolution to stop talking about people I don't know. But I'm sorry, when I saw him talking to the camera in that damn "Hitch" commercial, I just couldn't resist temptation.
