He asked Jada when GI Jane 2 is coming out. She has a really short haircut and apparently has alopecia which would explain the reaction. 1 minute ago, Augie said: He was conveniently located.

I saw “King Richard” courtside at some tournaments during practice rounds. I suppose there is a number with enough digits to make me sit thru that movie, but I’m not desperate, so it’s a pretty big number. That was a dick move by a guy who played a dick in a movie, I just have to wonder if it was contrived. Like kindergarten, don’t bite, use your words. . Edited March 28, 2022 by Augie Quote

Yeahhhhhh, I'd like to say that too but when someone is talking about your wife like that sometimes people need a smack. Maybe not on stage on TV, maybe in the dressing room after the show, but using the stage and TV cameras as armor to publicly mock someone with a medical condition is pretty weak sauce. This isn't a celebrity roast where everyone knows the deal and is up for it. 1 1 Quote

The hubris of this guy to think he can walk up there in front of a live audience on live TV and do that— it is unbelievable. By the way, I sort of stopped watching will smith movies years ago when everyone was the same post-apocalyptic sci fi movie. He’s made the same movie like 100 times. That said, King Richard did pique my interest— though I haven’t seen it yet. 1 minute ago, Rico said: For another Oscar-winning movie that I’ll never watch. He was good in Fresh Prince though! Not only have I not seen any of these Oscar movies, it is hard to even figure out how/where to watch them anymore! Quote

This isn't a celebrity roast where everyone knows the deal and is up for it. We see this differently. That’s OK. It’s still not clear to me exactly what he said that was so offensive, but it doesn’t matter. If it was bad, that’s crap on Chris Rock. As it is, it’s mostly on Will Smith because of how it played out. I care VERY little about anyone in Hollywood, but I had a situation where a buddy tried to “defend” my wife by committing assault on a drunk idiot at an NFL game. That shapes my opinion. He was a friend, and tried to defend his actions. I thought it was worthy of arrest. My wife took my side, you don’t get physical. Be a grown up. BTW - Same guy lost his job and later had a domestic violence arrest for being overly volatile, presumably with alcohol involved. I can forgive, but I won’t ignore. 2 1 Quote

Of the 10 nominated for Best Picture, I did see Dune (because Dune), Licorice Pizza (PT Anderson), Nightmare Alley (Del Toro), and West Side Story(Spielberg). Liked them all but WSS, I would say Licorice Pizza was the best. The other 6 I have no time for. 2 1 Quote
