The Dumb Are Mostly Intrigued By The Drum

I saw this trailer for the first time during last Friday's Presidential debate as from what I saw, it looks pretty good. Awesome cast, cool visual style...nice. Supposedly, this is the film that will win the Fresh Prince an Oscar (but remember, so was The Pursuit Of Happyness) but we'll see. Check it out and let us know if you think this is the one for Will Smith.

UPDATE: Aintitcool has gone and asked the right people the right questions over at Marvel and have come back with a definitive "No" from the studio on this rumor. Consider it done. Check it out here.

Seems like today is the day for all kinds of casting rumors....so Aintitcoolnews (via MTV) is reporting that Marvel is considering Will Smith for the role of Captain America. Before people start getting all "No way Captain America should be played by a black man!" lets step back and lets ponder this: Will Smith will not be playing Steve Rogers but rather Isaiah Bradley. Who is Bradley, you ask? Well you see, after Steve Rogers was given the Super Soldier Serum, scientists tried to recreate it and tested the serum on some black soldiers. Bradley is a product of that experiment and became Captain America for a short time. Now it's been reported in the past that a Captain America film will be a World War II story so that would gel with the idea of Isaiah Bradley existing in the universe (as Bradley got older, the affects of the serum caused him to become almost childlike) and it seems to have been neglected in mentioning this possibility in any of those previous stories (this proves my nerdiness, no?). Hmmm, seems very interesting so far. What do you guys think? If this theory doesn't fly, can Will Smith play Steve Rodgers?

Classic. This song is the very definition of Summer for me. Awesome!

This film has already wrapped up production in November, so why the hell is "The Fresh Prince" standing in Times Square with a production crew, in his Hancock gear 7 weeks from the films released date? Could this be the sign of a crap-tacular film to come? Quite possibly. WTF is Spike Lee doing?? Rumor has it that Hancock failed to get a "PG-13" rating from the MPAA after two submissions, each time coming away with an "R". The fact that it currently holds an R-rating makes me want to see it even more. Peter Berg tells the New York Times: “We had statutory rape up until three weeks ago.” Wanna see Hancock bust a super-hero load?? If that isn't enough, wait till you read the rest of the article here. Ferfuxsake! -partymarty

This film has received some REAL bad reviews from early test screenings but this trailer doesn't look half bad. Check it out and let us know what you think!
