RUMOR CONTROL...THESE ARE THE FACTS

[Captain Russ]

Just so long as the movie gets made, my ass will be in the fucking seat.

Not true, I loved him in Ali, Loved ID4. Loved both Bad Boys. I even dug Legend. Loved MIB, Thought he was damned strong in Pursuit of Happyness. And I love Enemy of the state. I just don't see him in this role.

Just admit it, you want to taste his pee pee.

In truth, it's his performance in 'The Pursuit of Happyness' that makes me think that he could do it. I think that he could nail Django's arc from beginning to end and really sell those HIGH and LOW points that he goes through.

But, I also think that Elba or Williams would nail this as well. Elba, in particular, would have the physical 'look' down perfectly, and he has the range to pull off the arc.

Smith doesn't need this movie for his career. The others do. It's a career changer.

I just love what QT can do for actors who may be stuck in a rut or haven't been challenging themselves. Smith would be great in my opinion because it may break down the notion that while he has done some strong drama work, he's still mostly known for Fresh Prince and WELCOME TO EARF.

Also, I say ditch Leo and get Steve Guttenberg instead.

[Abraham Smashington]

Actually fuck it, screw all of the choices so far for Django. Let's get Ted Danson in blackface to do it.

I agree he could do the role, I just think others are better suited for it. Elba would be my number 1 choice though.

Smith should never have signed on for Wild Wild West.

[Nathan]

The Goot!

Smith should never have signed on for Wild Wild West.

Agreed. That whole movie shouldn't have been made.

[Abraham Smashington]

The Goot!

Fuck yeah man.

[Matt]

the main problem with WWW is that Smith should have been in the Artemis role, not the James West role. There's no way in hell that JW should have been played in that manner. He's a cool dude, not a goof.

That wouldn't have made the film GOOD (there were too many other issues with the film for it to work) but it would have made it...watchable, perhaps? I dunno.

and Josh: you and I are in complete agreement on Elba.

[FilmNerdJamie]

No one knows who Ken Sagoes is?

You will all burn slowly in Hell while being butt-fucked by Rosie O'Donnell...

[Captain Russ]

Agreed. That whole movie shouldn't have been made.

It's the most irrational yet most prominent reason in my mind as to why I'm actively rooting for someone else to snag the role. It isn't just his fault, but he has the most recognizable link to the disaster.

I remember the wickywickywildwildwickywildwildwest. And when I remember, I start crying in that melodramatic manner, then sliding down the tiled bathroom wall, and finally crumbling into an inconsolable heap on the floor.
