Bill Maher attacks Hollywood for gun violence in movies..

[My Girl is Bow Legged]

I'll say again.. He has a point.

Do we not think guns are cool as fukk? Why is that? It sure ain't from watching footage of actual war and shootings right? It's from movies. We covet what we see.. From white boys in the 50s watching westerns to us in the 90s watching New Jack City... We wanted those guns dammit. 357 magnum like Eastwood. Mac 10 like Nino Had.. Rockabye Baby!!!

We out here quoting movies, acting them shyts out.. Every time there's a shooting it's "If I was there with my gun I'd have......." "If they shot my daughter I wouldn't even tell, I'd have to find them fools myself." Same corny talk from the movies that we know dudes ain't doing. But they idolize that. Dude just mowing through 10-20-50 guys with no problems. When's the last time a hero killed 5 people, acting alone to save someone? Never right... But you'd think it'd happened 28 times a year according to movies..


You don't think it affects children? Or grown adults? How many gun nuts you know? Where you think they got the idea from?

real shyt, a slick line that went under the radar in menace 2 society was when o-dog was talkin bout he was gonna sell the tape of him shooting the clerk and be the next steven segal

these films done romanticized righteous vigilantism, gun violence and taking a bullet like it's nothing then turn around and act shocked when a cac like kyle rittenhouse starts thinkin he rambo

as long as the shyt sell it aint goin nowhere tho, same thing with rap tbh. funny thing is the first defense for a lot of people who defend the bullshyt in rap is "movies don't get criticized like this!!" well now they are and nikkas still juelzing lol

My almost 90 year old grandpa loves and watches westerns all day that he grew up on, pretty sure they all feature some form of gun violence that used to be glorified by children. And yet unless unannounced these shootings are a relative new thing in our society.

They should attack Bill Maher for still performing stand up

He has that smug look on his face constantly. Really infuritating

He sucks off Quentin tarantino fukk that contraion

 

[cauliflower]

just about every other country is watching the same movies/types of movies that we are and do not have this issue....

 

[Bud Bundy]

The gun violence in movies are a reflection of our society. If young men were more interested in sex a lot of softcore movies would be more popular.

I blame Gun-kata

My wife is from overseas and she does not understand the appeal of action movies and trying to explain/justify is difficult and while watching it with her I realize how stupid it comes off to the unfamiliar. So yeah they may make these movies available to the world do they consume it at the same rate? Is their foreign policy married to the idea that "might equals right" like the U.S.? Do they themselves make these type of movies a lot? I do think using violence as a solution to problems is more rampant here in the U.S. I thinknour leaders using violence is why we are more violent but violent entertainment is probably a factor as well. I don't think it is completely benign.

Your wife sounds like a weirdo. Folks watch action movies world wide.

he took every opportunity he could to show the video to as many people as possible, almost as if the writers saw the future of social media through the looking glass.

Action movies are mostly for teenage and early 20 males. They do not even come close to hitting every demo.

He asked comedian on his show how he does impressions. The comedian said you have to pick up on the little things. Then he copied Bill exactly. He said the trick is, the last line is always in a condescending tone and then he tilts his head down and smirks.

That was like 5-7 years ago and I still can’t unsee it. It’s goofy as hell

No he’s right. That’s why they started filling them with heart throbs instead of muscle bound dudes. That’s why they started putting “strong female characters” in every damn movie. And also making the revenge always about their lady.

To appeal to more women. And the numbers still ain’t close. 52% of tickets are sold to women but only 22% of women find action movies to be their favorite.

If this was the case why aren't other countries having this issue?
Hollywood is the biggest media machine in the world.
They post global box office numbers for violent movies all the time.
John Wick did like 300 million globally, why aren't any of those people worldwide shooting schools too if all it takes is watching a violent movie?

Because other countries don’t have access to all the guns in the movies. And if they do, it takes more than being 18 and having $500 to get one

So there’s that
