I think people were forgiving but now much less so. Now I also think people just chose not to work with someone if there is a problem of any sort. The way I see things like this is it should be between the two men and the Academy and network for him disrupting the broadcast. However, that's...

Rock is a hot item right now. Not sure how hot he was before Smith slapped him. I basically expect Rock to ride this wave for whatever it might be worth. Really, why shouldn't he? I don't think Rock has to do anything to help Will Smith at this point but it would be big of him if he did. The...

I think Will Smith has been hit way harder than I would have guessed he would. A ten year ban, his projects are getting pulled, loads of people are swearing not to work with him again, it is basically a giant mess. Every time he is brought up now the slap will be mentioned. Many in the Academy...

I would think he would hold his scenes being cut against Michael Mann.

Not sure about that. Maybe he's got a thing about small comedians.

I don't follow them at all so this is the most I have heard about the Smith family in my life. I think people want to diagnose what Will did and find the reason for it because the joke itself seems like it would not be the reason for him to go off the way he did. I only found out about the open...

Driving yesterday I was listening to podcasts in the car. So, I hear this podcast where they discuss the whole slap fest deal and these guys basically talk about Will and Jada, their open marriage, and how they are both sleeping around. So, they are talking a bit about who these people are...

Oh, I most certainly agree no way they take his Oscar away but there are people calling for that and saying it is disgusting they let him both get the award and keep it. However, I agree the Oscar is a separate thing, they voted for him to receive it prior to all this slap stuff so, no reason to...

Well, I would say that I think people can see what is right or wrong but now, lawyers basically can create a mess of or lawsuit out of anything. This now causes everybody to back up and consult their attorneys before making a move. This and probably a bit of discussion over how not to end up...

No offense meant toward Mr. Washington. He actually had the best line in the whole ordeal.

It would not be acceptable but maybe they have to ask if it was staged because these guys are entertainers and could be doing a shock comedy thing. Andy Kaufman used to pull that crap all the time. You never know. Will Smith when he is yelling from his seat though, does look pretty disturbed...

By all accounts, Chris Rock is said to be a very nice guy.

Well, to defend security and what happened in the moment and having seen celebrities in person act like a-holes to security people, what went on was understandable to some extent. These security guys probably want to keep their jobs. Their job at events like this really is not to protect the...

What no gift certificates to a vagina steaming salon available?

It is a record worth trying to break if someone wants to go for it. And I'd like to thank the HTF and all of you for helping me win this award.

I know a person that lived with Madonna, essentially at the height of her glory days. I can tell you for sure, that wealthy celebrities become detached from reality. Or you could say their own personal reality shifts to such an extent that it is nothing like our reality. I think they become...

It depends upon the level of the assault as to if you would be arrested. So for a single slap, no you would not be arrested. It would require the person you slapped saying they wanted to press charges. Basically, you can slap another guy anytime you want and the most that will happen is you will...

Fairly dumb to let that crap drag on for "weeks" it is pretty straightforward. Smith was way out of line, you don't get up and slap someone at an awards ceremony and then scream obscenities from your seat. My guess is this is the time they will take to "negotiate" with the involved parties. I...

Out of respect for Mr. Rock who I think did a great job after the slap. He immediately makes a joke and goes on and never even rubs his cheek. I don't think he was in pain, I think he was stunned which is more typically what a slap does to you. Last time I was slapped hard was in a bar. The...

One other thing I would add about what happened and the security. A few minutes after the incident Rock went over to Will and Jada and had a conversation with them. This was not televised but there are photos of it on the internet, of course as we all know everything ends up on the internet, and...

Yes, you would think at that age Smith would have a far better grasp over how he handles himself. Rock, I think, did a far better job in the moment and seemed almost completely unfazed by getting slapped. I don't know anything about Jada Smith. I have heard the stories that she cheated on Will...

Glad I got one in. What can I say, I am an honest guy and am not afraid to admit my faults.

We don't know how Rock feels but I suspect his concern is not the slap, it is the joke he made. This has him in hot water as well. There was the article in today's Globe and a congresswoman that suffers from the same condition as Jada that expressed she was not at all happy with Rock. So...

I realize I am a 50 something guy, same as Rock and Smith, and grew up in a different time. When I grew up a smack was not considered violence, it was a way to say "You insulted me." or just an attention getter. A slap, was not something you would do to harm another guy. Guys slapping another...

I am not saying it was OK. I don't think it was OK. If I was Smith's friend and had the chance I would have told him not to do that or tried to stop him. There were far better ways to get at Rock than going up and slapping him and yelling at him from his seat. Smith ends up looking foolish...

I have been slapped and never called the police. Last time was in a bar and this woman came up and cracked me across the face and I asked "What was that for?" And she said angrily "For being here this long and not hitting on me!" I actually thought that was pretty clever.

No, Rock appeared totally unharmed and barely reacted to it. Lots of things are wrong with me. I am referring to how people describe it and the use of "inexcusable" in that there are things in this world that are inexcusable. Slapping a guy is not something I see as one of these things. Rock...

No, saying that his behavior is excusable is NOT saying it is normal. It was not normal, it was way out of what would be expected to be normal public behavior at such an event. Who would be the ones that would excuse his behavior? Chris Rock, as he is the one that got slapped. The people...

I guess I just use "inexcusable" in a different way. One grown man giving another grown man a slap and yelling at him, I see as something that is excusable because nobody was hurt. I might call the moment inappropriate, unneeded, childish, poorly handled...but I don't think it rose to the level...

Here is today's Globe article on it if anybody is curious to read it: https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/will-smith-chris-rock-and-the-hypocrisy-of-us-all/ar-AAVAJTv
