This is the wrong hill to die on. Kill Bill was a spoof. An homage film. The violence was purposely exaggerated for effect.

The analogy was spot-on. Even if the film was a spoof, the cited scene with swordplay was ultra-violent - yet no one watching it would be so stupid as to call for "knife control."

He also was the executive producer of: Pulp Fiction, Reservoir Dogs, True Romance, Inglourious Basterds, and Grindhouse. There’s plenty of gun violence in each of those movies. He has no problem profiting off of gun violence, yet wants to make a propaganda movie about the NRA. Hypocrisy be thy name.

So - the left's "outrage" is purposely exaggerated for effect.

Ban knives!!

The bigger point here is that wise guy Weinstein - and all of the leftist anti-gun hypocrites - protect themselves with armed security, yet they want to take away our right to protect ourselves.

I agree. Who cares if Weinstein is a hypocrite. It’s more important to know that he’s a depraved idiot. His opinion on the constitution should be ignored.

IMHO that actually makes it better as an example.

It’s not just that Harv is presenting gratuitous violence, he’s doing so as a joke. Conclusion: Harv thinks gratuitous violence is a joking matter.

ugh! i so agree with you... i am glad that Ted Cruz is taking on Hollywood... but i do not think this film works in this scenario... i am glad you said it! i have to admit, i was afraid to bring it up... i do think he is right in calling out on Weinstein's hypocrisy--likely having armed security...

A live action fantasy Manga comic book. But it was pretty neat how Kiddo was able to carry her Hattori Hanzo sword alongside her on her trans-Pacific flights.
