And you don't see any issue with that at all? 
Either way, Jaden Smith can't act for toffee and his dad should feel embarrassed for continuing to get him roles.
Exactly, acting isn't a company. If you stink up the screen, then you ruin the product, and the millions of hours people have put into that project. Nepotism exists in acting, like most things, but it affects the product and consumer enjoyment far more, you can't hide onscreen. You just suck.Either way, Jaden Smith can't act for toffee and his dad should feel embarrassed for continuing to get him roles.

I thought the kid did ok, portrayed a typical teenager in a fight/flight situation = don't listen to dad. Plus he had the balls to jump off a mountain and fly a wingsuit without training whist attacked by a terrahawk = good in my book.
You're wrong. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6x4qNdSM4dA

Well, that certainly doesn't encourage me to watch it.

I have now spent the past hour or so watching Honest Trailers... revisiting old ones I have seen, and new ones I missed.
The one for the The Force Awakens was brilliant.
Blewbs.

Attack Of The Clones & Revenge Of The Sith
Seeing as they're being shown on Sky 1HD for free st the moment and as I haven't seen them since they came out I thought I'd revisit these two. Now obviously I don't want to derail the thread with his old topic but I actually enjoyed them, certainly more so than when they first came out which I can only put down to being thoroughly panned after the abysmal Phantom Menace.
Two things are inescapable, the dialogue is sometimes bordering on high school play material and the acting, especially given the talent involved can be atrocious. Both points prolly make each other seem worse.
But apart from that I did really enjoy them. Making all droids "funny" did grate a little but both films were underpinned by very adult stories so it was presumably a nod to keeping kids interested. I may actually buy them on BR to watch again at some point.
