Gun control hypocrisy
Posted by SamAnderson 3 years, 2 months ago to Culture
Does anyone else see the irony of a senseless gun death caused by a negligent gun control advocate? I would think that non-hypocritical gun control advocates would refuse to act in movies glorifying gun violence. I would applaud such a principled stand, should it ever occur. And if they pick up a gun, they should have the respect for its deadly potential that responsible gun owners practice. Although I enjoy gun control advocate Liam Nelson as an actor, the gun death body count in his recent Taken series (89) far exceeds the gun deaths of all of the Bond films taken together (66) and that in a series featuring a guy who was ‘licensed to kill’. 🤷🏼♂️
Alec Baldwin is less talented and less likable than steaming dog turds and I hope he has a meeting with John Hinckley very soon.
Me dino was so taken by that revelation that I stopped watching his Taken movies and any of his others with one exception, Rob Roy.
That was because I heard it was especially good~~it is~~and because I'm quite sure he is not a broadsword control advocate.
Liked John Wick mostly due to the heart-tugging dog being a murdered wife's present subplot.
When I watched John Wick 2 that the expansion of shoot 'em up super-human action struck me as just being ridiculous. No more, I falsely resolved unto myself.
For when John Wick 3 came along, I became curious for seeing how the trilogy would play out in the end. But #3 promised more to come. That's it! Me dino is done, done done!
Recall seeing the original The Magnificent Seven during the Sixties. That flick was just great! Watched it or parts of it repeatedly on TV through the decades since.
Learned it was based on The Seven Samurai made in Japan. Managed to watch that. Wow! A bit long but a damn good movie. The action? Superbly realistic!
Then came the very recent The Magnificent remake. Tricky wicky for John Wick super hero kinda shooting all over the place. UGH!
Out of the blue I'm suddenly recalling a Sixties Marvel comic character who made the world a better place by being discontinued.
Me dino only buying one comic of those books can recall only one really ridiculously unforgettable scene. Kid Colt, yep, that's his name, slides down a handrail for stairs in a saloon.
His two Colts blazing, Kid Colt says, "I've shot 12 guns out of 12 hands! Now back to the ranch (to save whatever the girl's name was)."
