Hollywood assault on gun owners
I picked this up from our buddy, Laughing Wolf on Facebook. It’s trailer to a new movie due out this Spring called “God Bless America” (Langage Warning);
It’s obviously an attempt to make gun owners look like a bunch of nuts on the edge of a rampage, and the influence we have on our kids. All it takes, apparently is the news that we have a life-threatening disease.
Just as I’m on the way to the range so I can practice shooting sheets of paper in case the NBP decides to put a price on my head.
Category: None
I didn’t really take that from the trailers at all. I saw a tale where those of us fed up with the current disposable consumer society, and took action against it. Actions that lurk in the ‘what I almost wish I could do’ part of our minds.
I don’t really give a damn how some people will use the message; those people will find or manufacture an excuse to be offended regardless.
I’m sorry, but it seems that everyone they shot in that trailer are people I’d love to shoot too. Hahaha
So they blow away shallow over privileged children, vain reality TV show people, rude assholes, people who bother you in movies, etc etc. Are you kidding me? This movie looks awesome!
I actually think this is another case of people over reacting to the trailer and taking things way to seriously.
No where in that trailer does it say anything about gun laws / rights.
From writer/director Bobcat Goldthwait??? I thought he was dead.
it’s satire. Kinda like “a modest proposal” Yeah we really would love for these people to stop acting like fucking retards. I guess it doesn’t help much that there are so many “justified” kills here.
Looks to me like a satirical take on “Falling Down”
I think has been done before, I think the movie “Falling Down”. Same Idea, just different attacks.
I especially liked the part where he shoots the moron taking up two parking spaces.
Who hasn’t wanted to do that?
Ok, So I watched the trailer and laughed. It’s obviously satire to those with an intellect, however, I will agree with Jonn that the mind numbed amongst us will use it as a documentary to show how eeeeeevil guns are and how the guns are what make people kill (they whisper in a person’s ear, ya know).
If they hinted at taking out the entire cast of Jersey Shore, I might watch.
@ #5: That was the first thing I thought also – Perhaps a renaming to “Falling Down with a Vengence”?
I like the part where he shoots the nutcase church protesters!
Its like Heathers, http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0097493/ with a pedophile twist.
You might be shocked to see how many formerly “anti gun” folks come to the gun range/ store I work at now to learn to shoot. It usually happens right after they had a burglary or robbery in their neighborhood or it happened to them.
Then when they see how complicated it is to buy a gun in Calif…they ask why the gun laws are so bad now that they think they need a gun.
My answer: “Because all the gun laws in Calif are written by anti gunners- who know nothing about guns or crime.”
You shitting me? That movie looks AWESOME! It just went to the top of my must see list.
I think I would have to see it, laugh my ass off and then feel guilty about it later. One of those things like riding a HD Sporty, have a blast doing it, but never admit to your friends.
Glad I wasn’t the only one to watch the trailer go “Hell yeah”.
What Kane said.
Just got the trailer to play on my tablet. Too funny! But from my wife’s reaction, I’m going alone to the movie. Not even going to tell her about it.
This came out of Hollywood?!?
What is it, some kind of caliber envy??
#3″From writer/director Bobcat Goldthwait???” That did jump out at me.
“I thought he was dead.” Only his career.
I agree with most of the commentaries above, it’s a mock. I don’t know how funny it will actually be though. They might have shoved all the A-material in the trailer like they have with a lot of crappy movies today. If in a few years it is on cable I might watch but I’d never pay to see it. Michael Douglas, has already done an unfunny version, why not try the reverse?
What no one mentioned natural born killers?
Too funny. 🙂
I can’t wait. I have watched the trailer like 4 times
This is gonna make some Lib heads explode. And yet Natural Born Killers is considered a masterpiece, a work of art and a great commentary on our times(the mid’90s).
Hell with it, I’ll be there.
Bobcat made another movie years ago called Shakes the clown. It was about an alcoholic birthday clown. Very funny. Bob also lit Jay Leno’s couch on fire. I don’t think he is on the A list or really cares about Hollywood. This movie looks pretty funny to me.
Agree with CI. I think it looks hilarious judging from the trailer, and those are all people I fantasize about offing on occasion! It’s hilarious!
