What did you think of the Will Smith/Chris Rock Oscars incident back when it first happened...


...and what do you think now?

I'll admit, I thought Chris Rock's joke went too far at first (making fun of a woman's appearance which is a sensitive topic for many.) However, I came upon the realization that the joke doesn't merit physical violence and that Will Smith embarrassed himself and his wife more than he did Chris Rock, who handled the situation with grace.

I was shocked and disappointed in Will and felt bad for Chris

Same here. That was a weird incident.

I’m no pacifist, the universe gives us all plenty of occasions to lash out but that was just uncalled for.

Smith very likely killed his career that night,

Ditto.

That Smith is a spineless, dickless idiot.

And a really, really, really horrible, terrible actor.
One of the worst.

He would not have gotten his Oscar if he had been white.

Ditto.

It reminded me of William Munny’s logic in this scene:

I believe in self defense or hitting back.
I do not believe in hitting another over what are just words.

Shut up afore I punches ya in the eyeball!

No need to be a dick about it.

reply

I'm not a dick. I'm a fun guy. I understand the confusion tho, cuz wangs have mushroomy heads.

reply

If your a fun guy then don't be suggesting violence.

reply

lol you didn't know it was me. See what a difference a name makes. Moonglum9 was my old IMDb name that I transferred when I first came over here back in 2017.

reply

I was more shocked by his loud, angry F-Bombs than the slap.

reply

I didn't mind the slap until he sat down and started screaming like a drunk.

Had he sat back down and smiled people would think it was part of the show, but you could clearly see by Wills rant that he was unhinged.

reply

He's an animal.

Signed, million man.

Quoting from another member because he was so spot on:

Will Smith.... revealed his true self to millions of people. A screaming, raving DB who can't control himself.
And 15 minutes later....people gave him a standing o?????? People are stupid.
