The Will Smith slaps Chris Rock thread - plus Sam Jackson gets his Oscar

[guyver1]

Roasting will be removed from the oscars.

Ironic that the three female hosts did the same thing

 

[Lejuan]

Only one Rock that Will should be afraid of

the number of times I’ve read about this thing the past couple of days and caught myself thinking, “damn, the Rock dissed Smith’s wife too?”

 

[guyver1]

Let’s face it ..this is what Will should’ve done to save his reputation

 

[TaliBane]

There are few people I find as insincere as Will Smith. Schwarzenegger is another one.

It's in their phony laugh.

In the big late-2021 GQ profile, Smith all but admits that his whole public/professional persona of the past 30 years was phony, and that what we are seeing now is the "real" WS.

There are some strange things in that article, and things that inform his mental breakdown at the Oscars.

He REFUSED TO LEAVE!

The Academy just allowed it!

Was the Academy security staff on break?

Was LA FREAKING PD not available?

No wait LAPD WAS ON FREAKING SITE!

HOLY CRAP this just keeps getting worse and worse for woke hollywood.

 

[Wor-Gar]

I really have no interest in Will Smith and never have.

He reminds me of Tom Cruise. Must be the Scientology.

Travolta

He's another that's never been on my radar. And I don't like him in action movies as the villain. Ain't it cool?

 

[Wor-Gar]

So no Cruise, Smith or Travolta. And that's all.

And Juliette Lewis. No Cruise, Smith, Travolta, Lewis. And that's it. Done.

And Jason Lee.

 

[edonian]

He’s a celebrity and he’s rich. It’s the only reason why he’s getting away with it.

If silence is violence, is being silent in the face of violence just as bad?

Ugh.. Juliette Lewis... Don't even say that name. Anytime I see her my initial reaction is to..

 

[TaliBane]

Travolta

He looks unrecognizable these days with the chrome-dome and vintage GI Joe flocked beard. Uma looked great but I had no idea who she was dancing with on the Oscars stage.

I guess his hair was such a part of his persona in his earlier career that when it thinned he just wanted to go with the combo of GI Joe-GI Jane. Oh... oops.

 

[Wor-Gar]

Ugh.. Juliette Lewis... Don't even say that name.

 

[ZE_501]

I’ve never understood his appeal. Always figured it was a cultural thing, like I’d have to be American to ‘get’ it. I’ve always had a soft spot for Arnie tho, for all the reasons Bill Burr talks about in his ‘gold digging whores’ set.

I grew up watching Arnie kill bad guys, so no doubt my judgement is askew. Will Smith ... he's always been there, in the background but I didn't think one way or the other about him but if pressed I'd say he seems to be pretty one-note. Maybe two.

I really have no interest in Will Smith and never have.

He reminds me of Tom Cruise. Must be the Scientology.

I didn't know he was a Stupidologist.

It's a little weird she was under 18 when Scorsese had her suck DeNiro's thumb. That was everyone's intro to her.

Rock slaps first!

I remember that...

There are few people I find as insincere as Will Smith. Schwarzenegger is another one.

It's in their phony laugh.

I remember seeing a Planet Hollywood interview with Arnie, Sly, and Bruce and it was like a condensed look at all three of their vibes as actors. Bruce came across as disinterested and dry. Sly seemed more self-conscious and calculating, maybe even a little pretentious. Arnold was just happy to be there. If that's an act, it's done more good for his interpersonal reputation than the two other personalities.

So no Cruise, Smith or Travolta. And that's all.

And Juliette Lewis. No Cruise, Smith, Travolta, Lewis. And that's it. Done.

And Jason Lee.

The '90s must have been excruciating.
