Oscars 2022 • Page 55

I mean, it actually helped Rock sell tickets to his upcoming shows. I think he sold more tickets that night than he did the past month combined. Forget where I saw that.

 

I did, she did not think it was funny :(

 

well, at least you have apex

 

I generally really like Chris Rock, I just agree that words like violence and assault are a huge overstatement of what actually happened

 

Alright dude. At this point so there isn't much else to say that ya'll aren't aren't gonna joke on because it's time to get back to discussing the important things! but A) I'll do a deep dive into my subconscious in case I have a deep dislike of Will Smith (perhaps black people in general?) that's been festering and I'm taking a minor situation and blowing it up and B) I will make sure that if I ever run into someone who said that they got into an altercation, I'll ask if it was a closed fist or open hand. If open hand, I'm not even getting more details, quit your crying! I also will allow and expect the Oscars to be a minimum of 5 hours next year to allow any audience members the opportunity to properly chastise the presenters that cross a line with their jokes. Never mind participating in dialogue after the show, everybody speak up DURING the event! In fact, block out a WHOLE evening. No grievances left unsaid!!

 

Tennis Daddy is definitely an emo band from Indiana

 

I'm using a metaphor for how stupid our society is, I'm not talking about the actual script for the Oscars.

EDIT: Unless you're also joking, in which case, I dunno, fuck.

 

It's always hard to know what's a snub and what's not. This year I thought Titane was absolutely fantastic and deserved recognition but I wouldn't say it was a snub as I knew it wasn't the type of move that the academy would ever recognize, but to others, maybe that doesn't matter and each year is a chance to break the mold and it should have gotten some award attention. As much as it sucks for how good Sandler was in uncut gems, it's going to take a lot for him to get the academy's attention and any type of sandlerism will set him back. I think the line when he said like 'oh im gonna cum' was probably just enough of his personality that the academy was like nah, sorry Adam despite the rest of the movie being fantastic. Cut that line and maybe he gets an Oscar.

 

I actually saw an Apex themed meme about the slap and my brain melted

 

Ahh, fresh cream cheese

 

Titane was dope

 

Someone being so obtuse is pretty funny to a point.

you should do some self reflection. It’s not a bad thing. You’re the one acting like this is some violent assault. When I’ve made it very clear why it’s hyperbolic. Self reflect on why this is so important to you. What cause or idea are you fighting for? I’ve said both are in the wrong and I don’t condone the violence. So I don’t know what you are trying to prove here.

to be honest, you started rambling about shit that no one was arguing. Nobody said details aren’t important, if anything you are by ignoring the context of the words your using to define what happened. You’re coming at it with zero nuance. And no one said they want more of this. You’re just throwing out random shit because you can’t defend your stance and that bothers you.

 

The joke was that Rock went off script of either both the actual writers and the metaphorical writers, or that the Oscar’s script was the metaphorical script and he went off script. I dunno.

 

Fairly certain this is what @Helloelloallo saw Sunday night. I take back everything I’ve said. They were right. That was a violent assault!

 

Well we don't know, this could've been what the metaphorical writers had written. They wrote "Chris Rock and Will Smith have a dust-up at the Oscars and everyone loses their collective minds". Unless you're suggesting Chris Rock can see in hypertime and changed the future. I like that plot better than the one we currently have.

 

I mean, we will never know for sure. If Rock has that power, he would keep it to himself to use it to his advantage.

 

I like the idea that Chris Rock is a secret agent of chaos with powers we can't fathom more than the idea that he's a fucking moron.

We should be in charge of this. "The Gang Rewrites Reality".

 

Does anyone think that the Oscars have a “no cum” rule? Too lazy to look back at all the winners of past awards and check for cum.

 

Now this is a discourse worth having

 

To save the Oscar’s they should add awards like, “best cumshot”, “best O face”, and “roughest fuck.”

 

100%. No one can say cum and got a nomination.

What I meant was that it was a goofy line that was one of the few times in the movie that Adam Sandler came through, almost like it was ad-libbed by him. If a lot of the academy don't like Adam Sandler and don't take him seriously as an actor, he would need to disappear into a role and I felt like he almost did in Uncut Gems except for a few moments, that being one of them.

 

they did give Best Picture to The Silence of The Lambs, with the Miggs scene, so I don't know if there's a hard "no cum" rule
