>Will >>Smith still suffers from that little bit of gayness in >>'Six Degrees'. > >How so?
He doesn't really. I was kidding.
>>Gyllenhall has a little bit of the Crowe stuff > >He does? In what way? I'm not seeing it.
Gyllenhall is a physical imposing, bearded, gruff whiteboy. He seems to understand what roles suit him best and he does them well. He was outstanding in 'Jarhead' for example. That's not for no Orlando Bloom type of cat.
I still say, though, he doesn't quite have Russell Crowe type of appeal. He is different.
>>Colin Farrell was supposed to have a little bit of it, but >>that died with the Pony-Tail in 'Miami Vice'. LOL. > >Cmon O! That died waaaaaaaaay before with Alexander!
Not mentioning 'Alexander' is a fundamental pillar of my religious beliefs.
Plus, I just wanted to take a shot at that Pony-Tail
LOL
>He had the drinking & womanizing but never seemed like a tough >guy even with that Irish blood. I think becoming a father of a >child with a disability also softened him up a bit since then. >His repsonse to the Gervais jab @ the Golden Globes kinda >sealed this thinking for me.
True. Interesting.

Black >>women like him, but white women would rather fuck Denzel, >>which >>is why he'll never be a true Hollywood leading man. He's >>certainly talented enough.
>I think it's more him being too convincing as O-Dogg. He >probably scared a lot of white people after that role.
I don't think O-Dogg had anything to do with it.
Just think: Hollywood *tried* to push Larenz Tate's general appeal on the world.
a) Love Jones - a cult hit, but again, broad audiences of women don't liketo see short, effeminate black men writing poetry and novels and shit. Didn't work that well.
They'd rather watch Denzel shout at people and take command.
*shrugs*
b) Why Do Fools Fall in Love - Again, broad audiences of women don't want to see short, diminutive black men singing and shit. They'd rather watch Tyrese than that nigga.
So Hollywood actually *tried* and it just didn't work.
