Hate Watching After Earth

Send us a text

Will Smith used to be considered the most charming guy in Hollywood. He launched Blockbuster movies but also did ones where he played the common man. Then he made this piece garbage. He wrote the story and brought this film into the world and it is a giant mess of nutty attitudes and senseless uninspired action scenes. But the most amazing thing he did was maybe give us a peek into who he thinks he is. He plays a charmless monster of a father who forces his kid to overcome obstacles to save his character's life. Never once caring about the kid. And by the end of the movie he has not changed, he still thinks he did this right. It is a terrifying look at how he thinks a family should work. And he also found a way to make this movie phenomenally boring.  Good job Will.

Hate Watching is the show that opens the wounds and pours in the salt.

What is an artists duty? Probably nothing for the most of us that exist on the outskirts of fame. What is the duty of the artist with Fame? There is no duty but it is a platform that affords the artist a chance to do something good. It is lens that can reveal the good and bad of the world. It is a chance to talk about the human experience to large audience. But in a lot of cases, it is a chance to speak your truth. And in some cases, that truth is terrifying built on aberrant beliefs. Most of us spend our lives carefully curating what we say. But a few people with artistic voices go off and speak their darkest secrets not realizing that the world is happy to tear them down from their throne of fame and throw them in the gutter. What the world gives, it can just as easily take away...
