Review: Chris Rock becomes a sad old man yelling at clouds in live Netflix special https://www.yahoo.com/entertainment/review-chris-rock-becomes-sad-052019169.html

CR has just proved that the moment he went on stage at the Oscars and opened his mouth it was not about any jokes, free speech, comedian thing or any of that IT WAS ALL PERSONAL period. I have no doubt that something happened between the Smiths and him in the past. There are pics of them together here and there until Jada and CR promoted Madagascar and then nothing, zero, null. Coincidence? I don't think so. Fck that guy.

Finally some good news :) "Apple insiders say that the just launched Antoine Fuqua-directed Will Smith-starrer Emancipation has drawn +27% new viewers to Apple TV+ and has become the No. 1 movie internationally including in Mexico, Brazil, Canada, Australia, Italy, France, Germany and Korea." https://deadline.com/2022/12/spirited-emancipation-selena-gomez-documentary-break-records-apple-original-films-poised-for-bigger-2023-1235200124/

Just finished watching the movie. Will is a phenomenal actor. That is all. Fck the Oscars, the critics, the pres and that toxic industry.

Some of the critics have lost their minds writing those reviews. I am getting Apple TV and will watch the film several times just to piss them off (in my head :)

And so the PR circus begins. Can't wait to see the film. https://www.vanityfair.com/hollywood/2022/11/emancipation-inside-will-smiths-unsparing-new-slave-drama

Let the madness begin. Can't wait to see the movie.

From the Deadline piece: While the press is already scrutinizing what Apple will do with the film and whether Smith’s controversy will hobble what might have been a prohibitive Oscar favorite, sources said Apple will release the film in early December. As for Smith, real movie stars are rare. While their fortunes can ebb and flow, the top ones have a way of coming back, especially when the movie is good and this is said to be a career high point for Fuqua. This side of Tom Cruise, Brad Pitt and Leonardo DiCaprio, none has been more successful over the past two decades on a global scale than Smith.

https://www.nytimes.com/2022/09/15/movies/oscar-hopefuls.amp.html There are still a few significant contenders yet to debut, like Damien Chazelle’s glitzy Hollywood drama “Babylon,” and the industry is buzzing that Apple will soon announce a year-end release for its big-budget slavery drama, “Emancipation,” even though the film’s leading man, Will Smith, was banned from attending the Oscars for the next decade.
