This is nothing new. John Carpenter has stated his regret, disappointment, and dislike for Halloween II, decades ago. It doesn't help that the twist of Michael and Laurie being related, came from him drinking a six pack of beer and 🚬 while he was type writing late at night to the early morning.

Funny that because of the slap way more people now know about her hair condition and her having sex with a younger man.

This wasn't mean-spirited. Other roasts have far worse. I remember some comedian in a Julia Louis Dreyfus roast/award thing suggest in front of everyone that she was faking her cancer. She laughed with the rest of the audience.

Wish I were free to hit people in public without immediately going to jail, being sued and getting a criminal record that ruins my job prospects. Instead of all that, he got applause while crying over his Oscar later.

Roasts are done by friends and respected peers. I’m guessing the Smith family do not consider Chris Rock to be in either category. It was a gross overreaction but as a wise man once said “He probably didn’t expect Marcellus to react the way he did, but he had to expect A reaction”.

Slap aside, which honestly was the only thing that was interesting about the entire night, watching the Oscars last night at an Oscar Party reminded me why I skip the whole thing every year and just read who won later. The whole thing is so goddamn fucking padded. I mean It's "Tribute to something/Song, OSCAR, Commerical" repeated for 5 fucking hours. 5 hours of hollywood jerking itself off, except most jerk offs don't cost millions of dollars and feel like they go on way too long.

This could have been a damn email, people.

I like to check in for the technical awards, and a fair few of the prestige ones are fun (costume, makeup, etc) to see what got the gong.

Plus it’s also occasionally funny to see folks at like twats. I love James Cameron but man was he insufferable at ‘97 Oscar’s when Titanic swept. “I’m King of the World!” yells Canada’s angriest man.

Never watched the show in my life. Never understood why regular people care so much about an event hosted by the movie industry to congratulate itself. Slap was the only reason I even cared this year.

He's a comedian. One who pokes fun at people all the time.



Smith is a baby for assuming everyone knows his wife's issue and then responding with this emotional outburst on live TV.

We all had a big laugh Oscar night.
But baldness is no laughing matter.
It kills thousands every year.

Um, thanks? Not sure why you're bringing it to my attention though, I'm not much of a Pacific Rim fan.

As for the trailer itself, looks like PR's gone "full anime," so to speak. Make of that what you will.
