  What's up with the Johnny Unitas high-and-tight on Big Willie? LOL j/k

  Well Adam, since this is a re-vamped version of Back To The Future, I actually thought the mug shots were that of Kid n Play.
  
  You know, something like [using your artistic imagination]... Space, the final frontier. These are the voyages of Will Smith's starships. Its 5-year mission: to explore strange new worlds, to seek out new life and new civilizations, to boldly go where no man has gone before... except Johnny Unitas and Kid n Play... high-and-tight and flat on top.

  I like it.

  Just one thing.... FEAR is also REAL. I don't like the catch phrase / theme of the film. Both fear and danger are real, and FEAR is an emotion you can't (not always) control or choose to NOT have. However, you can control what you do about it.
  
  That's my only issue. Well, that and the faux accents. :/ But the film looks good.

  Fear is as real as you allow it become. Respect for danger is good. Often fear hinders the reaction.

  Maybe Okonedo should have tutored the Smiths in British talk.

  @ Winston - Ummm, who's/what's Bossip?
  @ RB - They sounded more like fake Australian accents. So more down under than deep south.
  @ CC - I see your point, and well said. I just thought it was, um cliche "beat your chest corny man speak." "FEAR is a choice".... not always, and most of the time it's not a choice. I agree with you, it's about how you choose to LIVE. But the statement (like most catch phrases) was overly simplistic. Thanks for engaging with my comment!

  Faux accents? Really? Speaking in a voice other than your own, genius, is called "acting". Maybe you meant to say "bad accents".
  
  I guess the Bossip crowd is slowly making their way over to S&A. Geeeeez.

  Yeah, those fake accents bothered me too. They sound like they're from the deep south. Lol. I didn't get that. But the film does look good. I will definitely go see this.

  But AC, I believe the premise/gist of the phrase can be found in the duration of any emotion.
  
  Granted, fear is a natural emotion that can warn us of an approaching danger. However, it can also serve as a debilitating roadblock to moving forward. Therefore, the phrase rings true and is apropos. It's a CHOICE whether or not we LIVE in FEAR.
  
  Again, the duration of that emotion is in the hands of the individual. Consequently, it IS an emotion that can be controlled. I am reminded of the saying "fear and faith cannot co-exit in the same heart". What one believes and accept will conquer all.
