Also kind of glad Ang Lee won for Best Director and not Spielberg or Affleck--they are already pompous enough. Argo was a good action flick, but Silver Linings Playbook should have won Best Picture. Clooney just stood up there and looked great in that beard instead of giving a speech though.

Watched it last night in lieu of the Oscars. It was a good movie. I just didn't think he gave that great a performance other than losing a crap ton of weight. Now if he won because everyone else sucked this year, then okay.

That's interesting you say that, because in my review of Dallas Buyers Club in the movie thread, I said him and Leto should win Best Actor and Best Supporting Actor. So if you're argument is that no one "absolutely thought they deserved" the award, you're wrong because I did. And if you're argument is that you're really good at watching movies and deciding who is giving a good/great performance and who is not, well there's just not a lot of evidence for that argument right now.

slap is more disrespectful. he woulda been tossed for throwing a closed fist punchclosed fists used to always result in DQ's (which is why the nature boy relied on his iconic knife edge chops) but officials have been pretty lax about it since the mid-90s or so. now closed fists are universally accepted as a legal move.
Post by: MakeItRain on March 28, 2022, 09:34:55 AM
I'm really surprised it happened on the show. Would have thought it could have been handled backstage. I can only assume Will being the butt of internet jokes about Jada the last 5 years finally made him go for it, only being 10 ft from Chris.
I think it was seeing her and how she reacted to the joke that made him snap.

This makes Kanye look tame.Lmao, what a champ Rock is, and what a bitch Will Smith is. That’s a cowardly rough ridin' move to do that.

It's a shame that this overshadowed Will's only Oscar win. I'm actually pretty disappointed that the Academy allowed Will to stay in the theater and accept the Oscar. He should have been escorted out of the building, immediately.
For the guy who played Ali, Smith's slaps are as soft as his raps. 5'10, 175lb soaking wet 57 year old Chris Rock was barely phased by that unexpected assault.
Next time take that mess backstage, and then publicly shame Rock for his poor tasted joke. Will better be prepared to have every opportunist come at him when he goes out in public, because they'll be baiting him into a chance to sue.

i could understand Will's reaction a little more if Rock had made a joke about their relationship where it was directed at both of them, but it was a joke directly about Jada, who is famous and a star in her own right.I was in my fair share of fights as a stupid adolescent, so I'm not exactly clutching my pearls over why he did it. I just can't believe he walked up on stage at the Oscars and did it in front of the entire world.

At its core, the joke is mocking Jada's appearance which is a result of a medical condition. I'm not going to pretend that I run around fighting people, but I would certainly be pissed if someone was mocking my wife over a medical condition she's sensitive about.
do we know Chris (or his writers) was aware of her condition?

I doubt the writers were involved as I took it as an ad-libbed joke. I don't know if he was but I don't think it takes a lot of sense to keep your mouth shut about a woman's bald head if you aren't sure. If I'm Will and I know the joke hurt my wife, I don't necessarily care if Rock knew. I'm not sure if that's what set Will off either and it doesn't totally justify his actions, I've seen the incident framed as a culmination of Rock jokes at their expense, but it would make it more understandable to me.

Chris Rock is a comedian being paid to go up and roast a couple of celebrities with jokes he probably didn't even write for the Oscars event. The celebrities are all very well aware that some jokes are going to be told at their expense, and that they are more likely to be victims if they are nominated for something. It happens every year.

No it's the part where it's the Oscars and the entire premise is that the COMEDIAN host roasts celebrities in between awards. If you're a multi-millionaire celebrity who can't mentally handle a slight ribbing from a comedian then maybe don't go to a place where you know a comedian will be ribbing celebrities. It's not like some guy shouted something to her in a wal-mart parking lot.

If one more person says medical condition, I’m going to lose my rough ridin' mind. If she had cancer, you’d just say cancer but you can’t because she just has hair loss and that’s lame and you know it so you say “medical condition”

it is not ok to make fun of someone (especially female) for having alopecia
that said, Will laughed at the joke until he caught the laser eyes. this is probably more to do with chris rock going after jada at the 2016 oscars, and of course all the bizarre stuff with Will and Jada and other dudes, and Will claiming he pukes when he orgasms, etc. lots of weird stuff simmering under the surface.

I think we all know that will smith’s bitch ass would not have walked onto the stage if the person standing there was the rock Duane Johnson and not Chris rock the comedian. The fresh prince is quite the tough guy though when someone is half a foot shorter and 80 pounds lighter than him. :rolleyes:

Will Smith's slap of Chris Rock while an attempt at enforcing a shift toward an important community norm of able-bodied folks standing up and speaking out in support of those with disabilities, unfortunately entrenched patriarchal patterns of violence and ownership ("keep MY wife's name out your mouth") and silenced Jada Pinkett Smith--a vocal advocate and disabled BIPOC woman who could have responded to the violence of Chris Rock's ableist words with a call out of Chris' unacceptable words or made any choice that she wanted. Instead, she was robbed of agency by Will Smith who acted on her behalf without her consent.

it is not ok to make fun of someone (especially female) for having alopeciaI don’t think you can make a blanket statement like this. First of all, circumstances matter. I agree Rock shouldn’t (and he wouldn’t) yell a comment like that across the red carpet or something if he saw her. But this isn’t that. People go to award shows hosted by comedians expecting to get roasted. It was clearly not a mean spirited joke like some tend to be.
Second, I disagree with setting some kind of line where we can make fun of things that are the result of choices vs. medical conditions. Is it ok to make fun of a fat person who overeats out of depression (or sheer laziness) but not a person with a thyroid issue? I personally would take less offense to people making fun of aspects of my life I have no control over. In that case at least it’s clearly not a judgment about you or your character.

This is the opposite of that.

Alopecia isn't cancer but at that point we're just arguing degrees and accepting that it's in bad taste. Will Smith giving an acceptance speech centered around justifying it afterward was also in pretty bad taste.

It seems a little attention whore-y to me, but hey maybe that was the point. People will probably eventually forget why Will even did it in the first place. Less attention on his wife than if he just publicly criticized Rock.Lmao, what a champ Rock is, and what a bitch Will Smith is. That’s a cowardly rough ridin' move to do that.
You're going to have to explain how walking up to someone face to face and slapping that person, is cowardly. I mean it can be a lot of things to a lot of people but I'm not seeing cowardly.

At its core, the joke is mocking Jada's appearance which is a result of a medical condition. I'm not going to pretend that I run around fighting people, but I would certainly be pissed if someone was mocking my wife over a medical condition she's sensitive about.
Regardless of Will's reaction, if this isn't a significant take away from that incident your decency as a person should 100% be called into question. The joke was out of pocket as was Will Smith's reaction, I'm legitimately confused as to how there could be any other take.
Chris Rock has two of the most famous stand up routines of all time, nether of them had a single joke making fun of someone's appearance. I can't remember any good comedian telling a joke about someone's appearance altered by disease or accident. Holding a microphone or having an audience whether it's in a theatre, arena, or the internet doesn't give you license to say whatever you want without repercussion.
I will bet anyone every single dollar I have that Chris Rock will apologize to Jada Pinkett Smith and if nothing else, he regrets telling that joke.

He wasn't hurt, maybe embarrassed on TV, but to think he should be able to say whatever he wants but then should run to the cops, for that? That's some impressive cognitive dissonance, well done to all.

If that were Mel Gibson up there joking about her lip size and broad nose, we all cool with that?
Why are people trying to legislate what Will's and Jada's lines should be before they get upset, as if that's anything that can be defined? This wasn't a celebrity roast, as much as some people itt are framing it that way. I really don't get "that shouldn't have upset him," as if he's the only person in the world upset by words.

Yeah I agree with all of this.
Also, Chris Rock didn’t write the joke. He just delivered the line that was written for him (which was his job) and it was a pretty tame joke in my opinion. Then he took the slap like a champ with his hands behind his back the whole time. Then he refrained from saying mean crap when you can tell he wanted to for about .5 seconds. Then he just kept the ball rolling. Then he chose not to make a big deal out of some idiot overreacting and didn’t press charges. Perfect job by him. I wouldn’t have done anything different if I was him in that scenario, at least I hope not.

I don't see how will and jada can take offense to anything said to or about them at this point in life. They are proud and public corny weirdos.

In a perfect world, sure. His joke about Javier and Penelope Cruz immediately before it was even lamer. “The ol’ ball and chain! Amirite U guys?” I’m assuming he just showed up and said whatever they had written for him just like everyone else did.

It's part of doing whatever you want. The rest of the world might thing that doing those things is rough ridin' weird and will talk bad about you and/or tell jokes about you. Here the talking bad/joking should've been about more lol stuff than her hair or lack thereof.

I'd be interested in how that works and what the pay is. If I was chris rock or any comedian whose brand is defined by being funny, it'd take an outrageous amount of money for me to tell someone else's crappier jokes.
For non-comedians, yeah, just read the script written by people theoretically funnier.

lots of great tweets out there but my favorite was something like chris is lucky all the dudes banging jada didn't also rush the stage
These "jokes" are also problematic. I don't know what them, at one time, having an opening relationship has anything to do her now having alopecia and the appropriateness of joking about it. She's mocked for getting it in, I haven't seen a single joke or mockery about Will doing the same with Margot Robbie and others. This whole thing is toxic masculinity run wild, just leave the woman alone, why is this so hard to do?
It is not the jokes, it is Will battering another person on stage over a very bad joke based on some defense of his wife and their marriage, which is at the very least, in the public eye, less than one based on faithfulness. I am sure there is a lot of "you don't know what really happened" to this but they made money off of telling the public about screwing other people you have to expect that the next time you intend to defend your wife's virtue most of us will rightfully roll our eyes. Especially if you think you are entitled to literally commit battery.

MakeItRain, have you ever considered not debating with extreme passion every single thing that happens in the entire world and universe and multiverse?
Have you ever considered why you think I am debating any more passionately than the other dozen people posting about this? Should I take your tact? Act like I'm above it all then follow up with multiple passive aggressive posts?
This is a message board, it exists for discussing topics. I can assure you that I won't have a single conversation about a live human about this, other than "did you see Will Smith? yeah it was wild, how about those peacocks!" I don't care enough. People get slapped or punched every single day for saying stupid crap. I'm not the one who thinks anything at all should happen other than these three people hashing it out.

I literally cannot make the connection about them, at one time, or even now, having an open relationship, with Will Smith's capacity to take a joke about his wife without slapping someone. I can't figure out what one has to do with the other. It was her choice to sleep with that man, it was his choice to slap Chris Rock in the face for what he deemed was a tasteless joke. Ones possible indifference to sexual proclivities doesn't connote an ability to get pissed about anything. Me letting someone call me a porch monkey 30 years ago, without repercussion, doesn't mean you can call me a coon or my wife a mud shark in 2022.

Yes, it’s hard to keep the pit in the pit these days. Even this thread has a more serious, pit-type tone to it. I’m guilty itt. Really this is something we should all just be laughing at, which is probably exactly what Chris Rock and his comedian buddies are doing rn. <———- regardless of what he decides to say publicly.
The incident was bizarre and funny.

It was a bad joke and a pathetic response by someone who is woke as hell. I've read multiple articles that blame Trump for this. While I don't totally disagree with some of those articles, this is much more about a society who can't laugh at anything anymore (not that it was funny).

You're pretty slow huh? Will Smith slapping Chris Rock is not funny. This happened because Chris Rock told a bad joke and it made Smith mad.. This wouldn't have happened if Smith just continued to laugh it off like he was..

And also Will wouldn’t have tried to slap Chappelle
The list of people that will wouldn’t have slapped is a mile long. That’s why it was wrong. It’s kind of like if you have to look around before you tell a joke then you probably shouldn’t tell it. You shouldn’t have to be selective with your words or actions if you’re living life right and there’s no way will was walking onto stage to slap Liam Hemsworth or Jason Mamoa or Tom Hanks or Steven Spielberg. He slapped someone who he could get away with slapping and not have any real repercussions.
