Not completely disagreeing with you but damn this sounds bad. You made this sound like a whole lot of work.
I really didn't feel I had to do all that for Thin Red Line (which was great), New World, Badlands, and Tree of Life. Tree of Life to being his only movie that was really out there for to get in to. I feel that's even less of the case with the movies he's written. I know nobody did that for Dirty Harry and The Gravy Train but Malik can write some weird **** I will admit.
He just has a very specific style when it comes pacing and atmosphere that can make it a complete struggle to get in to it and stick with it. I know I was like what the **** the first time I watched the beginning of Tree of Life but then I just got interested with exactly how long this intro was gonna take before the story actually started. **** had me feeling like I was watching the science, discovery, and history channel all at once

That would make more sense. If SQ flops, I'm boycotting Wills acting endeavors completely. I'll support him and Jazzy on tour, but I'll never forgive him at the box office for not showing up for ID 2

speaking of jazz

I think at this point in his career and I'm going off quotes by him he's doing more movies he wants to do than movies that are big in the box office and prop up his fame.
I think he's abandoned his formula he had for success of doing action thrillers, comedies and sci-fi flicks. Now if he does them there's a reason (put his son on
). It just shows the clear differences in his priorities. Back in the day he turned down the Matrix cuz I guess it didn't fit in to his plans and movie formula (he did Wild Wild West) but now he's turning stuff like Django and this Independence Day revival cuz he's doing other **** he wants to do. Since After Earth there's really no rhyme or reason to the movies he's picking. I think he just wants to try being a villain in SS and wanted to tell that Concussion story cuz to stretch his range.I also think he's actually trying to win an award for his acting now. Concussion while not being widely praised I feel was intended to be Oscar bait and according to some critics will get Will a nomination or at least have ppl saying he was snubbed. I feel it's a bit late for him trying to be an actor that's praised for his talent and skill though. I wanted him to start going down that path after Ali.

will smith in a QT movie = easy oscar nom
would be funny to see a guy who has been known for his lack of profanities in rap doing a QT character

I feel like Will has only been doing only Oscar bait movies starting with Ali. With the exception of MIB III. Ali, Seven Pounds, Pursuit of Happyness, etx.

Yeah I was very hyped when I heard that rumor but I understand why he passed on it.
In many ways Schultz does come off as taking the main character role until he dies.

He cusses a fair amount in the Bad Boys flicks, if I recall correctly. But a QT movie would be on a whole different level.

on that note, hateful eight might be the most rated R movie ive seen in theaters
I would rate it better than django, not as great as IB
movie did not feel too long at all, would watch it again in its entirety

I respectfully disagree. I think the only character Will Smith can play is Will Smith. Ali was the same character he played in iRobot, just bulked up.

^ I disagree with that but I hear ppl say the same about Denzel.

It's more that these actors are great at playing specific character traits and they get cast because of it.
Same with Tom cruise and RDJ

literary spit on my screen from this.
I think he was already filming SQ when they started ID2 so like what could he really do?

It's about making commitments.
Casting agent contacts Will's agent. He probably has several offers at any given moment. So we don't know if he was offered both and chose SS over ID2 or if he simply chose SS over some other offers and then the ppl doing ID2 made the offer too late.
There's also the pre-pre-production verbal agreement type of stuff. Like for example, Ben Affleck tells Matt Damon sure I'll be in this movie with you when you do that but then things changed cuz he got a real good offer from Scorsese or something.
