Will Smith slaps Chris Rock at Oscars

All I'm seeing are constant negatives. "He's an ass, so is He, the wife's a slut and a ball-breaker, the Oscars are a joke for letting this happen", and on and on. I doubt the Academy actually wants to be known as "The NEW Home of Trash TV" even if that gets people chatterboxing.

I am seeing SOME praise for Smith "defending her honor", but not anywhere near as much as people saying, "Dumbass shouldn't even still BE with her trifling cheating ass."

I get that "getting clicks" is the new social currency or whatever, but when Every Single Person (and entity) comes out of a situation looing worse than they went in - Smith may not have been setting box office records lately, but NOW we also know (or assume) that he's a thin-skinned crybaby who does what Wifey tells him to do, up to and including public displays of violence - then again, your plan has backfired.

Again, if they wanted attention and relevance then ALL they had to do was start giving attention to movies people actually watch. Until they do THAT, and only That, then nobody is ever gonna care what they do. They could have Alec Baldwin fake-shoot someone live onstage and unless a Marvel movie is up for Best Picture then NOTHING they do to try and "get some attention" will work.

The Oscars aren't only irrelevant because they're boring and masturbatory. It's that they give awards to movies about gay cowboys eating pudding that ten people have ever seen while ignoring anything people actually like. THAT is the issue and it's been the issue for decades. The ONE time they "went commercial", and gave the whole house to "Titanic", it backfired on them once people realized a few months later that "Yeah, that thing actually wasn't very good and it mostly coasted on the Celine Dion song." Ever since then, they don't like to acknowledge anything people pay to see and instead fawn over artsy-fartsy crap. I get it, but it's killing them.

So again, if they thought a fake slap-fight between two black guys, RIGHT in the middle of an ongoing cultural conversation about whether or not black people are inherently violent by nature or not, was going to get them some "good attention", their finger is not only NOT on the pulse, it's jammed so far up their collective asses that they can probably find a heartbeat.

Not saying it's "impossible". But if it's a work it's a really, really, really, really, REALLY bad one, and it backfired.
