Why is the big fat guy wearing his pyjamas? He He

Kimonos now come in plaid.

When Will Smith heard what the title of the movie means in Japanese, he wanted the Japanese release retitled "Bai-gurai-cock."
Sarge
Nessie - Hancock in Japanese means half a cook. Hee hee! So, this movie is half-cooked, or half-baked or something like that.

The good, the bad & the ugly. Redux.

Charlize Theron is so gorgeous. Why is Asashoryu there, does he have some connection to this movie?
Proffessor
Just wondering how confortable Charlize is in those high heels
Altria
Is the movie about sumo wrestling?
ExPrinceska
Will Smith = a perfect man! Wonderful, thank you!
Zuleyka
let him be

Altria - It's about a black superman. Cool, huh!

Asashoryu is superman in Japan. But he doesn't get changed in the phone box cos he'd get stuck, nor would he need to go there since he has a new shiny mirror cell phone from Softbank.

proffessor: The shoes are probably more comfortable than having to deal with all the stupid questions she's going to be asked at the press conference!

Charlize Theron looking fantastic as ever. Will Smith is no short guy, so for her to stand at around the same height as him she must be really tall, heels notwithstanding.
ExPrinceska
Asashoryu is not short too. I am surprised.

Oh I can't wait to see this flick, a superhero that flicks a whale, makes money doin it as well. Blubber flick huh?

One has to wonder if Will Smith is going to try & fill out like Asashoryu so he can play some part???????? Movie people are crazy for sure!!!!
ExPrinceska
Charlize Theron is a luck woman because she is between two handsome and succesful men. Wish to be in her place :)
Proffessor
Charlize Theron is African born While Will Smith is American born. what an interesting world......

I bet Asashoryu wants to teach Charlize Theron some Sumo moves :p

Why is Asashoryu there?
Smith and charliz are both aggresive, open, smart and fun loving top quality people. Its not about the type, Asashoryu wont even match these charactersitcs. May be thats the reason she is not sharing her second arm with him.

Somebody seems like needing a bit of public appearances (trying to brush up image?), else I only can agree with the former posters asking what the frog he is doing there.
ExPrinceska
Nidu, why would you say that Asashyoryu is not aggresive, smart, fun loving top quality man? What do you know about Asashyoryu? I know him quite well and he is all these. Outstanding man he is!
nidu
Thats the reason every japanese say to a foreigner with a grim face Hageshii desu ne. You got to be Hageshii from inside not outside.

Professor:
Oh boy, the PC crowd will have to gnaw on that one. Will is African-American, and she is... umm, what? European-African? African-European-American? I give up...
Good_Jorb
I think (I could be wrong) but European-African=Afrikaan, stemming from a language the dutch colonists created in South Africa.

Asashoryu shouldn't be partaking in these events now that he has lost his complete dominance. Remember what happened to Balboa in Rocky III? Clubber Lang demolished Rocky after he did the same type of promos! "Asashoryu, you have to get the eye of the tiger back"

they should have hoovered the carpet

Asashoryu is thinking, "I sure hope I don't have to watch their thoroughly dreadful movie. If forced to, I will again fake injury and flee to Mongolia."

Honestly it was better than the last piece I saw from Hollywood. Keep this one away from young sensitive children. Maybe one of the best adolescent (not Will) super hero flicks I have seen.
