Variety's obsession with that slap has been weird and embarrassing. Jfc LET. IT. GO!

oh they had an article like WILL MOVIEGOERS EMBRACE WILL SMITH AGAIN? and got their ass handed to them on Twitter.

I mean they choose Amy Schumer for woman of the year or whatever
I guess it's pig year somewhere in China

[britneyspears]

right?? the article acts like they’re covering a convicted murderer attempting a comeback

for the 3 people on here who like these movies

Wow okay OP. Idk how to take that lmao

I actually forgot this was this weekend and I haven't scheduled it in but now I gotta make time for it.

i feel like i'm one of the few people who still love will smith and that feels so wrong

[sandstorm]

Most people I see still feel positively about him.

I really never thought his career was "over" after the Oscars like many people thought. He'll bounce back with time. If anything The Slap did more harm to Chris Rock's career and I am totally fine with that.

I still liked him after he slapped Chris Rock. But last year I saw he was all smiles and hugs with Johnny Depp in Saudi Arabia and now I don't care for him anymore.
