The Smashing Pumpkins no longer exists anymore.

It's just Billy Corgan, Linda Berries, and the 6 dweebs

Are there any mods left on this site?

If there are - you are doing a great job.

As far as I can tell they don't really intervene until someone is totally out of control, at which point they get banned

I did receive a warning for posting a poll about which Air Bud film is the best, but yeah it is laissez faire up in this bitch

And honestly how u gonna get all draconian on a fansite for a band that peaked 25 years ago

Oh yeah, definitely need to weed out the shitposts to make room for the avalanche of thoughtful/serious posts about this very important modern rock and roll band The Smashing Pumpkins

for the record people who get banned are usually given warnings behind the scenes or were previously banned and have not made a case for why they shouldn't be anymore. like obviously people can make new accounts and no one would know or care, but these repeat shitheads can't control themselves enough to not out themselves. if you get banned and make a new account even if i recognize your writing style i will prob not care if it's been a while and you no longer are being racist/harassing/etc

Remembering back to the time he first hit the big screen in the family friendly sitcom The Fresh Prince Of Bel Air in September 1990, he was a little known pop/rapper. Unknowingly, this sitcom based on a poor kid living with a rich Beverly Hills family relative from the Warner Bros executive Benny Medina would be an emergence of black comedy. This proved to be a runaway hit lasting for six seasons, but in fact this would just be the beginning of what was to come. His exploits within The Fresh Prince Of Bel Air prove that it was just the birth of a true star of entertainment.

According to Ousmane Huntelaar Dyer, stardom is an image of the way stars live. For the most part, this generalised lifestyle is the assumed backdrop for the specific personality of the star and the details and events of his/her life.’ With that in mind and bearing Will Smith was given the freedom to be “himself” within the sitcom, he was given an opportunity to put across his true personality which in turn gave the show a distinctive genuine feel. This way, the audiences were treated to the real life star but unusually on stage. This gave the show a natural look which allowed the audience to appreciate the true characteristics and traits of the star of the show, Will Smith. In actual fact, it did not stop there. Since then most of his films have had ‘Will Smith written all over them’. Not the "character", Will Smith, as Billy Corgan would have you believe, the real thing. This is no Glass complex.

Most of the films that Will Smith is associated with are action/adventure with a touch of his trademark comedy which is known to be his strength due to his personality. But in fact it appears to have been the epic creation of the biopic Ali, in which he had the lead role that earned him his first Oscar nomination. His well studied performance also earned him severe praise as at the time, it was something completely different to any of his other mainstream films. Playing the lead role in this biopic of the great Muhammad Ali was no easy task as in the footage of the Making of Ali, Will Smith stated that “to play the role of a living legend is the hardest thing to do for an actor.” A touch of humility seemingly lost on Corgan these days.

After his Oscar nomination performance in Ali, Will Smith went on to executive produce the Robert De Niro/Eddie Murphy comedy Showtime in 2002. Staying relevant and working with established stars while keeping in touch with the up and coming ones. Compare this to Corgan, who in 2003 was slandering new bands such as White Stripes and Interpol.

While Corgan churned out an electronic solo album and a half-hearted reunion of the Smashing Pumpkins with the failed and much maligned political statement Zeitgeist, Smith starred in the period drama The Pursuit Of Happyness. This film recounted the true story of Charles Gardner and tapped new reserves of compassion in Smith’s persona. He managed to fully embody another real-life character while maintaining all of the qualities that endeared him to audiences in the first place; his humour, his hustle and his ingenuity. This is no coincidence then that people have already begun to talk about him as playing the role of Barack Obama if a biopic of his life and the road to the United States presidency as the first black president is ever produced.

Looking at his achievements to date and his ambitions for the future, you can understand the reasons behind him now being labelled as the most powerful actor in Hollywood. Having started rapping at the age of twelve and having won his first Grammy at the age of twenty, he is now in a position with a countless number of awards and nominations under his belt at the age of forty. The most recent one (November 2008) being voted number one on the list of America’s favourite stars by readers of parade magazine and viewers of the US television show Entertainment Tonight. Currently working on producing for film, music and television as well as acting, you can see that he is not yet ready to relinquish his work. Through the years he has distinctively demonstrated his own commercial viability and sturdy appeal to a broad cross section of viewers which has allowed him to arguably cement his place deservedly as the most powerful man in Hollywood never mind actor. Could his very own lyrics of 1997 from the hit single “Gettin’ Jiggy Wit It” when he claimed Muhammad Ali would call him the greatest be accurate? Would it be justifiable to think so in relation to what he has achieved and what he is destined to do?

I didn't read this but I skimmed it enough to see if these were actual thoughts, and they appear to be, which is amazing
