Honestly though, I agree with him. WWW definitely is the safer bet on paper. But safer doesn’t mean foolproof, and the risky ventures sometimes are the most profitable. Making the worse move doesn’t necessarily mean you made the incorrect one.
You’re going to enjoy this, I think (ignore the titles of the videos, this is definitely what @maniacalmanicmania@aussie.zone was referring to, and the context makes the bit about WWW so much better:
Exactly. He may not have been a great actor in terms of range or depth of character, but no one else is delivering a line like “Losers whine about doing their best. Winners go home and fuck the prom queen” like that.
I don’t think he’ he’d be a good Gandalf anyways
nothing against him, but what we got was perfect.
That reminds me of how Will Smith turned down Neo in The Matrix because he thought Wild Wild West was the safer bet.
He would have been an awful Neo. Bullet dodged for everyone.
Imagine all the matrix themed rap songs that were missing out on tho
Jazzy Jeff feat. Powerman 5000
Ok I wanna see that collaboration!
Ouch
Honestly, the only good decision he’s made lately was to not appear in the Independence Day sequel.
i’m gonna be honest looking at will smith’s career the good decisions were ones other people made

Have you heard Kevin Smith’s story about WWW?
I haven’t and would like to be enlightened.

Thanks! I’ll check it out now.
It seems like my client removed the ability to edit? I can’t find it, anyway.
Regardless, that was entertaining. Thank you for the links.
Yeah, but in the third act he got to fight a giant spider. Do you know anything about spiders? They’re the fiercest killers in the insect kingdom.
They’re not in the insect kingdom.
They broke in, because they are the fiercest killer.
Touché.
Dragonflies would like a word
It’s hard for me to imagine anyone else in any of the roles. They are all such perfect fits.
Gollum should’ve been played by Nicolas Cage. With no VFX or makeup.
Also Willem Dafoe with a bald cap could pull it off.
Or Steve Buscemi
“I’m something of a hoarder myself … but only for this precious ring!”
I’m currently watching the Mandalore gaming video on Ring and this sounds like an Alberich line.
💀💀
"Mm! You! You … come to me! You come to me because … you’re mine, right? Precious! PRECIOUS! I’m talking to you!"
i really don’t think anyone else could pull off the german neoclassicallism of the role
SC would have been awful as Gandalf to be honest
We musht go through the minesh of Moria.
Could’ve been worse. Could’ve been Steven Segal.
He would’ve been awful. Connery was good at playing smarmy dickheads, but he was kind of ass any time he wasn’t playing a smarmy dickhead.
This is why his performance in The Rock is pitch perfect.
Exactly. He may not have been a great actor in terms of range or depth of character, but no one else is delivering a line like “Losers whine about doing their best. Winners go home and fuck the prom queen” like that.
You shall not pash
