Supercar Gautier posted:I saw someone (possibly a Family Guy character) point out that he says "Aw hell naw" frequently in films and television. Having absorbed this teasing observation, my brain has combined it with my powerful need to vocalize strong opinions, and it has transformed into a festering (if insincere) contrarian hatred for the man. An extension of that is the racist "welcome to earf" meme

"Earf" may be casual racism but my heart goes out to all those casual racists who decided they had better things to do than watch loving Independence Day again.

I always thought it was "earf" because he was supposed to have a cigar in his mouth, not because it was racist

To be honest the meme was so powerful that for a couple years I did honestly think he said "earf". It didn't occur to me that he didn't, and I even saw it at least once during that period. Then I watched it again some years later and welp.

I'm starting to wonder how often Will Smith says "aw hell naawww" now. I know he says it in I, Robot, but I'm starting to wonder how many other movies he actually says that in. Mind you, there are a lot of Will Smith movies I've never seen, so there's also a very good chance I just simply haven't seen his hell nawwww movies.

A super upbeat rap about Seven Pounds would have been amazing, and you all know it.

I was thinking the same thing, and checking out youtube I can't find anything but - yep- an I, Robot clip. Though I can find a bunch of compilations with black women saying oh hell no. Hmm, this is just spitballing, but might it be part of the whole emasculating powerful black men thing? Associating him with a "female" phrase? I'm not American so I don't know how male/female that is, but it was just a thing that occurred to me.

He might indeed say it a lot, I don't recall. But you gotta admit at least part of that had to be scripts. I've heard that now he has the pull to get rewrites done for him, but these are all movies from his ascent anyway so that doesn't count. E: Forgot to say, if he does indeed say it that much, there would be at least a couple more clips on youtube than just the I Robot one. The meme is so pervasive and there aren't any clips?

I've heard he can be kind of a hassle to deal with behind the scenes since he requires his own script doctors to go over every script. Also there was that whole MIB3 thing where he required his giganto trailer be on set despite having an apartment in NYC. I still like Smith but he really should try and pull a Denzel and put his natural charisma into use for either a bad guy or something.

I think Branagh is really funny in it and Kevin Kline does a passable Gene Wilder then promptly disappeared from movies entirely.

Could you elaborate? I saw that movie, but I tend not to notice those kind of undertones. I just liked "What happened to you, man?" "I told you, it hasn't happened yet"  Kay was great in that movie, as was Just Boris.

I've also heard Idris Elba was considered at some point. I imagine a Will Smith Django would have been more charismatic and smooth while a Idris Elba Django would have been a bit more of a tough guy badass while Foxx managed to be a bit of both.

Knowing absolutely nothing about Game of Thrones, is there a character who has a ridiculously tiny head like that?

He said him and Smith met over two days and talked at length about the film and a bunch of other things but eventually decided against it. I don't think he specifically had Will Smith in mind (Tarantino has said that he stops writing roles specifically for actors, but has specific types in mind), but Django by the end of the film is meant to be a Will Smith-type.

No, that is a terrible picture of the character, here is how he appears in the show:  The artist was trying to portray the burnt side of his face but somehow made him into a tiny headed mutant.

Hopefully in Milius they discuss him being partially the inspiration for Walter Sobchak in The Big Lebowski.
