Sony didn’t believe in the movie, because two Black actors don’t sell overseas,” Bay recently told Entertainment Weekly. “They had no faith in it. I was watching James Cameron’s ‘True Lies’ and I’m like, ‘Oh, my God, this guy has so much money.’ I have only $9 million. And they shut me down, literally. They shut the power off. That’s how rude they were on this movie. Luckily I had 500 days of film set experience doing videos, commercials, working with some of the most famous athletes in the world, and that’s where you really truly know how to deal with assholes.”

Bad Boys” opened in April 1995 and grossed $141 million worldwide. The action movie was released a year before Smith’s star power exploded with “Independence Day,” but not even the success of “Bad Boys” could convince the studio behind “Independence Day” that Smith had appeal overseas. “Independence Day” director Roland Emmerich revealed in July 2021the studio originally rejected Smith for the lead role over claims that casting a Black actor would kill the foreign box office. “Independence Day’s” $817 million worldwide gross proved otherwise.

Bay would reunite Smith and Lawrence in 2003 for “Bad Boys II,” which earned $273 million at the worldwide box office. A third movie, “Bad Boys for Life” opened in January 2020 ahead of the pandemic and earned $426 million worldwide.

If commercial "space travel" became a thing in 10 years - would you go?

I am talking about just being able to go just outside earth as Bezos did. If it became a commercial option for everyday people to pay for tickets in 10 years, is this something you would want to do? I would imagine it would be expensive.

It seems like we might be heading in that direction. Not full-blown space travel but allowing people to be outside the earth and kind of just orbiting it.

Just imagine 48 minutes of this up and down the court over and over again. A lot of people like to claim this is the kindler, gentler NBA but the speed of the has increased dramatically.

Don’t just focus on the offense either, look at KCP playing perfect defense until he got screened. The conditioning these guys got is legendary.
