I don't mean to correct you, Devin, but it's "Aw, hell naw!"

[Dave Davis]

Will Smith be stealin' shit.

"This time it’s It Takes A Thief, based on the 1868-1970 series."

longest running television show in history.

Wagner has aged well.

[Martianman]

I'd rather see him replace Robert Wagner in a new "Hart To Hart" series.

Smith ruins every movie(except Ali of course) he's in with his Aw, Hell naw attitude, but I can't help but love the guy. Pursuit of Happyness might change the attitude, but I can already see Smith's superhero pulling that shit in Tonight, He Comes.

Can't understand why u think so ('bout ruining every movie) - he is nice comic actor not best, but not worst either. And the news really great!!!

[Greg David]

They're really getting desperate for TV series to adapt now. How many people remember this show? I expect we'll be seeing movies of One Day At A Time and Room 222 soon. You know what would be really perverse? A movie of Alice. Directed by Martin Scorcese. I'm blowing your mind now.

Curiously enough, I think Will Smith works best when the material is eventually tailored for him (Hitch, Bad Boys or Men in Black) or when it's completely the opposite (Ali), meaning he has to work his ass up acting-wise.

Otherwise, his "leftover" characters -that'd be in Enemy of the State or I Robot- are the ones who tend to left me cold when not thinking what could have been with someone else in the role. And I think Tonight He Comes is somehow gonna fall into that category.

PS: Not that I don't like the guy, but whenever I rewatch Men in Black I happen to believe it's Tommy Lee Jones' movie all the way. The scene when he speaks (perfect) spanish with the mexicans is a riot and his rapport with Smith is pretty much perfect. To think that it could've been Chris O'Donnell in his place...

Does anyone else feel there was some sort of bizarre transformation Will Smith underwent after "Ali"? I feel like bulking up and playing that role to the hilt has changed him. Hearing him in interviews and seeing the roles he selects since then, it's like a projection of the most obnoxious alpha male of all time.

[PsycheOut00]

Uh, maybe it is about the roles, but I interviewed him twice after that movie and he was as nicer as you could get and in no way a prima donna. As for bulked, yeah, the two times I met him I was just hoping not to piss him off so he would suckerpunch me through the hotel rooms.

Go read Will's Playboy interview from a few years back to see how "humble" he is.

The "Aw, Hell Naw!" stuff is just an act.

He's actually a smart, talented guy who turned down admission to M.I.T. to pursue his dream to be a rapper.

Who hasn't? One thinks back to the summer that Ice T and Eazy E roomed at Harvard:"What the fuck, 'E? How am I to finish my thesis on string theory with all these ho's up in here?"

He may be smart. Talented is subjective. I guess I shouldn't make a big deal that he appears to have a huge ego. He works in Hollywood after all...
