A dumb move IMO.

The only good thing about the ceremony was Kristian Stewart. She didn't win the Oscar but stole the show with her style!

The raw video is also available on Youtube.

Why use video filtered through some talking head?

Will Smith was within his rights to defend his wife, who has a scalp condition. Chris Rock attacked her for having a medical condition. But you're all about that, aren't you? You have done the same thing here yourself.

I'm on Will's side. But you can sit back in your leather chair implying he has a drug problem.

What is wrong with you?


BTW, I would have hit him with a fist, but he used his open hand. A humiliation move. He understood what he was doing. No drugs necessary, jackass.

"Keep my wife's name out of your f---ing mouth!" He said it twice. His motivation was crystal clear.

I agree with you about Kristin Stewart.

But I don't think it was a dumb move. He was defending his wife.

Screw everyone who can't (or won't) see that.

Because I'm a fan of that talking head's channel.

I have to say -- you're almost 100% negative lately.

So you have an agenda. Nice.

No, no agendas. Just trying to make conversation and share interests.

I do, however, have a script that blocks posts by obnoxious users, so your posts aren't going to trouble me for a while.

Rock's joke was weak and lazy and in poor taste. And yet Smith laughed at it: at least until he saw that his wife was not amused.

Instead of assaulting Rock, Smith should have shrugged it off and then he and his wife should have penned a syndicated op-ed the very next day ~ which would probably have been published in more than 100 newspapers ~ about how making fun of people with autoimmune conditions is... yes, weak and lazy and in poor taste.

A round of talk show interviews and calls into podcasts and radio shows would have been a more eloquent and dignified way to promote awareness of alopecia and similar diseases while at the same time making it clear how small, meanspirited and undignified comedians can sometimes be.

Your opinion, apparently, is not just your opinion. It is contaminated because it is part of an "agenda" that you supposedly have.

Progressives John Iadarola and Francesca Fiorentini have takes on it that resonate with me.

I know you and dive have been feuding with her - and with all due respect to all involved parties - I could not care less about it.

My objection to her negativity is the same as yours ~ whether you could care less about it or not.

If just saying this twice, in the way he did, was how Smith had responded to Rocks's joke, it would have been better.
