A community for discussing events around the World
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

I don't care for the slap. Like, I really, really don't care.
I don't see his failed comeback as punishment, it's just evidence he can't make anything good anymore. He's not owed a comeback, and failing to comeback is not 'punishment'
He’s a notorious prick. He deserves all the negative attention he gets. Him crashing out repeatedly recently has only solidified his publicly perceived image as an unstable, insecure, abusive, corny, try-hard, iamverybadass, cuckold that gives everyone the ick.
He should’ve quit while he was ahead before he made every movie role a version of himself and focused on building his childrens’ futures or doing something for the greater good with his fortune. But no, he can’t let anything go. He has to try and control everything. And the more that goes sideways the more unhinged he becomes. It would be sad if he wasn’t such a selfish ass.
thats kinda make since why alan tudyk was pissed that he wasnt the lead cast over will smith. will probably has in his contract that he needed a "better actor" than he is and makes them less than a shittier role so it make will feel superior. alan seems to have bad luck passed over for will smith, and resident alien getting cancelled.
Smith is an awesome ensemble actor. He has great chemistry with his co-stars in buddy movies, be it MIB, Bad Boys, Hitch or even Independence Day. As Fresh Prince, he had a whole cast to play off. But he can't carry a movie where he's the only star. It becomes evident that he doesn't have the range, and his attempts to act come across as forced. I think people already realised it and are avoiding such movies. The Bad Boys franchise proves that he's still a bankable co-star, and hopefully he'll accept that position in his future work, rather than soloing vanity movies.
Vanity movies, that's what those are. Thank you for that phrase, it all makes sense now
I used to really like him. He came across as really charismatic but after the slap and finding out that he was not in the Scientology box but had his head pressed right up against it, I figured screw this guy.
and being jada pinka "punching bag" too.
The real victim here is Jaden. Imagine your dad not handing you movie roles anymore because he fucked his own career. So unfair.
I loved the Left 4 Dead 2 mod that replaced the game graffiti with Jaden tweets
im guessing why jaden is going to different relationships, will cant be a good SO.
No. He hasn't been punished enough. Dude needs to fade away.
jada pinka should clamped harder on her punishment.
Someone needs to slap him off his feet on good morning america.
He's been crap for years. He should fuck off and live in obscurity on the undeserved fortune he's already accumulated.
and i thought that jada pinka smith and him was unjustified, maybe it was?
He hasn't done anything good since mib anyway
There’s something ironic about him being able to act like a mature, stable adult on film back in the day but then doesn’t follow through to be genuine in the real day once he’s older
Uh he slapped a man for a joke about his wife that is (separately and unrelatedly) cucking him. And he raised Jaiden Smith. Nah, keep the punishment coming
people said as much, hes too much like the rock, wants to be center attention in the roles hes been. alan tudyk said as much.
Didn't know about that. I actually try not to "meet my heroes." It's so depressing.
His career was on the wane before he acted like an asshole at the Oscars. I loved him as a kid and still love some of his movies, but he was the upstart smartass. That doesn't work when you're 50+ and he doesn't have the range to be more than that.
I actually loved Seven Pounds
he kinda disappeared after mi3, and the other various movies hes been in.
He lost any semblance of cool with Pinkett's affair and the slap. He is desperate to get it back but that's not really going to be possible. Had he not slapped Rock he might have been able to lean into being a more sentimental figure at this stage but that too has passed.
he's rich. he never has to worry about anything in his life. he doesn't "need" a comeback.
so he has to do is chill and enjoy life. and he's still not happy????
Just retire, Stale Prince.
