I heard this morning that at the Oscars last night Will Smith slapped Chris Rock in the face for making a joke about Smith’s wife’s hair problems<\/a> (apparently she’s going bald).\u00a0 I watched the clip of the incident.\u00a0 The two entertainers cuss a bit and seem upset.\u00a0 You know I have a very hard time believing it wasn’t staged.\u00a0 \u00a0So little about the world nowadays isn’t fake that I have to assume everything about Hollywood is fake.<\/p>\n

It’s not that I couldn’t imagine that a man would react with anger over his wife being the subject of public ridicule.\u00a0 But Will Smith was probably the strong favorite to win the best actor’s award in a film that featured the theme of a strong man empowering his daughters.\u00a0 This kind of an event at the awards ceremony sounds like just the kind of publicity stunt that Hollywood would come up with to generate box office for their property.<\/p>\n

Who knows, maybe I’m wrong.\u00a0 But at this point I think most of the country is in the same boat I’m in.\u00a0 We’ve lost all belief in the tainted institutions like Hollywood and we’ve lost all interest in supporting their products and programs.<\/p>\n

Sure, it’s possible Hollywood could make a movie I’d watch.\u00a0 But it’s now on a case by case basis and I’ll have to have the evidence of someone I trust to tell me something is worth plunking down hard earned cash to see.\u00a0 I have nothing in particular against the Williams sisters or their family or Will Smith.\u00a0 But if it isn’t something that specifically aligns with the things I stand for then it’s just one more thing I don’t have the time or money to support.<\/p>\n

When they make a movie that portrays Kyle Rittenhouse as the hero, I’ll go see that.\u00a0 When they make a comedy that’s actually funny, I’ll go see that.\u00a0 Until then I’ll stick to the classics.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
