But this definitely made my day:

For the record, I like Chris Rock. He's a funny guy and he managed to brilliantly roll with the punches (or slap) in this situation. Which leaves me wondering why people are making a big fuss about it:

Best Lead Actor
Gary Oldman
Darkest Hour

Supporting Actor
Willem Dafoe
The Florida Project

After watching I felt bad for Will Smith. It all make sense now after the Oscar. She is slowly turning into a horrible man and we are seeing the effect of it.

I hope Will divorce her. She's belong to the street,hope she got a cap to cover her bald head.

So, what, your wife takes dicks better than you take jokes?

Hope your reputation takes a serious hit, you fucking douche. Hell, you should be arrested for assault.

(If you have no idea what I'm talking about, don't worry, the clip will be everywhere by morning.)

I previously stated that I don't mind trying mayo flavoured ice cream, but this... is a whole new level of disgusting. 🤢

Oscar Mayer unveiled this atrocious item last year and I don't know if they stopped making them. Hot dog and ice cream don't go well together. What are they thinking?!

To be fair, both Will Smith and Chris Rock are in the wrong. While Chris maintained professionalism, took it in stride, and kept the ceremony going, it's inappropriate that he made a G.I. Jane joke to Jada Pinkett Smith who is diagnosed with alopecia. Making fun of someone's medical condition is not okay.

Anyways, bullocks aside, here's the start of the not-so-quick fix:

Nicolas Winding Refn's brutal, bare bones neo-noir tale is a dreamlike, intensely cerebral thriller, interspersed with explosions of brutal, uncompromising violence. Combine that with Refn's supremely singular visual motif of primary colors, and hyper stylized slow motion, and you have an incredibly unique, yet vital entry into the genre.
