      we went from “let’s go back to a future that doesn’t exist yet” to “let’s go back to a past that never existed”

      I think that Will Smith is pussy whipped by his wife and Scientology. I think she uses the church against him, with the threat that they will take his kids away and hide them from him. That’s the only explanation I have for his (slightly delayed) response with Chris Rock, and with Will being ok with his wife grooming their son’s underage friend and later having an open relationship with him on the side.

        Personally, I wouldn’t call him pussy whipped, per se, as that sometimes implies that there are no functional relationships where men side with their wives. I would just say Will Smith is a pathetic servant to his horrible significant other.

            I think you must have responded to the wrong comment, I clearly insulted him in my comment.

      I am on team Will Smith with this one. Never give a woman of color a hard time about her hair. I’d rather diffuse a bomb while in shark infested waters. I’ve been punk rock for 40+ years, had a mowhawk and other hairstyles outside of the norm (people used to want to fight you over this) and no demographic of human being has been more supportive when it comes to taking chances with fashion than black women. This is a hill I will die on

        Walking on stage and physically assaulting someone? It was premeditated, he sat there and thought, then walked up and thought. It wasn’t just a heat of the moment thing.

        Nothing said verbally should warrant that.

      This is one situation where there is no “good guy”, in my view.

      Chris Rock made fun of someone’s medical condition (the hair loss isn’t a fashion choice), and Will Smith overreacted.

    I know things were different way back then, but I still find it surprising that Will was able to go sit back down in his seat.

      um, he has at least 7 films in the works, including “i am legend 2”, “hancock 2”, and an apparent remake of “planes, trains & automobiles”. because nothing is original any more unless you slap the guy at the oscars.

        They are remaking planes trains and automobiles? With will smith??? I suppose he will play Steve martins character. Who will play the other guy? (Jack Black maybe?) what a steaming pile of shit that will be. Is nothing sacred? I’d probably even watch it just to see how bad it is.

          perhaps an action-comedy where the funny not-so-bad villain dies a horrible death, after said villain makes a bad joke about Will Smith’s character’s wife.

          (and maybe watch it years after the release lest Hollywood gets the wrong idea about its popularity and the aging has made it worse. 😁🙂)

        Yeah but is any of it going to be good? None of those titles inspire much curiosity for me, let alone excitement.

          no, none of it is going to be any good at all. i’m personally offended that they’re remaking the last one i listed.
