Spoken by the infamous Austrian military tank commander that sank his tank in a deep pool of mud!

it was important to "keep [the two] separate". He said: "[This is] entertainment and the other thing is a tragedy beyond belief. It's really serious and it's the real deal."

I'm fine with believing that if someone will explain why it is at the same time unacceptable to show someone smoking in a movie since it is encourages children to smoke.

Been watching some old movies recently, and the characters on-screen are smoking something close to half the time. Amazing to see, in today's world.

I’m surprised there has been little about the fact that Lanza was virtually addicted to violent first person shooter type games. Figured I’d have heard for a ban on those by now.

Hollywood alone isn't to blame. Hollywood and video games are more like promotional tools used on a public that is fed subjective reality in the schools and dangerously ill mental cases. Plus we're turning dangerous criminals loose who should never walk free.

Violent movies and games don't turn rational reality based people into killers.

He is an idiot. Hollywood is not to blame for why people cant break out of idolatry and worship of everything disgusting- but they make the crack for the addict.

He should not be so proud of being covered with filthy dirty rags.

Taking any kind of advice from Schwartzneggar is a waste of time.

He is right... Hollywood, Video games, or guns are not to blame for Newtown shooting.. I blame the person who did it.

did the entertainment industry just admit, by analogy, that advertising on TV and in the movies is a total waste of money?

Mentos mints and diet coke have been around for years. It wasn’t until YouTube mini films exposed that when the two were combined, fun ensued. Copycat experiments flourished.

Hollywood is so full of hypocrites I can’t stand it. They say that their violent movies do not influence crazy people to commit atrocities but then make movies that promote their views like Promised Land to try and influence public opinion. So do movies influence their audiences or not which is it??? I guess it depends on whether they are getting blamed for an atrocity or getting credit for some activist activity.

Just like Rush.

Think again. What goes into a person is what comes out of a person.

MARK 7:21-23
He went on: “What comes out of a person is what defiles them. 21 For it is from within, out of a person’s heart, that evil thoughts come—sexual immorality, theft, murder, 22 adultery, greed, malice, deceit, lewdness, envy, slander, arrogance and folly. 23 All these evils come from inside and defile a person.”

One is “entertainment,” and the other “tragedy beyond belief,” as if the extremeness of the latter excludes its relation to the former. Who makes up this senseless crap for dunces to say? Hollywood hammers away at our culture, our sensibilities, our morality and beliefs, but hides from blame behind the curtain of entertainment. Arnold and his associates are mass murderers, influencing broken minds.

Hollywood numbs the mind just another step in dumbing down process.

Even back in the “innocent” days of the 1950’s, movies and TV inspired crazes of Roy Rogers, Hopalong Cassidy, Gene Autry, etc., “cap pistols”; toy soldiers and toy army guns were the rage. There wasn’t a big market for these type toys until movies and TV made them “famous”.

This influence grew, and the toy weapons became so realistic that laws had to be passed to put orange tips on the guns to distinguish them from real ones.

The big uptick in karate and other martial arts happened in the 60’s and 70’s with the advent of ninja movies and other karate arts stars.

Hollywood is, and has always been, a catalyst for violence.

The difference is, back in the 50’s parents and church taught young people the difference between fantasy and reality, and that killing and violence were wrong.

But there are plenty of todays movies that incorporate violence just for the sake of violence. Where actor dialogue is simply a bridge from one shooting scene to the next. Where chainsaws and hockey masks define the horror and allow the special effects guys to purchase a lot of stage blood for their part in the sequences.

Schwartzenegger loves to dance a little sidestep, like most politicians. He knows it’s b.s. just like we do.
