    the Will Smith track “Wild Wild West” just came on the radio and: 1) it was weird that for several years whenever Will made a tentpole movie he also rapped about it in partial character 2) we should make more actors do this

    I still remember the exec who just kept trying to shove a giant mechanical spider into movie after movie (including Superman and an early attempt at adapting The Sandman) until he finally got them to put it in Wild Wild West. He clearly thought it was the best idea that a person could ever have.

    Salma Hayek as Rita Escobar in Wild Wild West, 1999, directed by Barry Sonnenfeld. Visually, Hayek’s costumes in the film emphasized both glamour and the Old West aesthetic, with elaborate gowns, corsets, and dramatic colors that matched the movie’s over-the-top steampunk style. #movies #cinema

    The writing counts for a lot, but Smith is great in Independence Day because he's a small part of a great ensemble cast, great in Men in Black because he's the junior member of a solid buddy cop duo, and frustrating in Wild Wild West because it's The Will Smith Movie.

    This reminds me of how, pre-MCU, you had so many execs who hated superhero stuff - or at the very least “didn’t get it” - working on those things. Which led to many bizarre choices, which is how you get a giant robot spider meant to be in a scrapped Superman film show up in a WILD WILD WEST film 😂
