Maybe it could have been titled "Weekend In Chicago". Of course the erstwhile moral compasses of hollyweird are "up in arms" about the Florida High School shooting. The ever popular(?) juliana moore is super anti gun. But seems like shs had no problem in Kingsmen grinding up some poor schmuck in a meat grinder. Maybe background checks before buying meat grinders? Anyone think h-wood is gonna give up their gore filled movies any time soon?

Maybe the gun control that is needed is Hollywood gun control.

Why do we Allow Hollywood and the Entertainment Industry to glorify Guns and Violence, as well as morally bankrupt and down right destructive behavior, then peddle it to our children in the first place??

It’s like the porn industry campaigning against premarital sex. Except, the porn industry has sufficient integrity to avoid the hypocrisy that Hollywood falls into.

When Hollywood stops using gun violence in their movies is when they are serious about it.

Why should anyone need a gun? That is what our armed bodyguards are for.

Democrats and Hollywood thrive on violence

When rappers brandish handguns in their videos, Hollywood liberals are awfully quiet about "gun violence" and "the need for sensible gun control." It takes the sight of some Nebraska farmer with a shotgun or a suburban dad with a 9 mm in his desk drawer for home defense to really get Hollywood liberals up in arms about gun control.

I've come to the conclusion that nothing that the Left says or does makes any sense when taken at face value. It only makes sense when seen through the prism of a war against western culture and against white people. What else could possible explain the fact that the Left either tolerates or celebrates in blacks and other non-whites (religion/superstition, gun ownership, "sexism and homophobia", ethno-nationalism) that they condemn among whites?

Ban murders in movies and on TV. See if anyone raises a 1st amendment challenge. Then start dealing with gun control.

Remember 1968, when Bobby Kennedy was murdered by a Palestinian immigrant. The news media went berserk placing blame on everything they could find.

The fault, they said, was “Glorified violence” on TV shows, comic books, cartoons, pulp fiction covers, NRA, movies.

So, TV shows for adults but still safe for kids dumbed down to kiddie shows, comic books went mild, pulp novel covers were cleaned up. Gun laws were passed.

The movie industry said they would “police themselves” with a joke of a ratings system so they got a pass.
Scenes were reshot ADDING blood and sex, and more blood and guts became the method of obtaining the coveted “R” rating.

Now what will Hollywood do as so many TV shows are far worse than the 1960s and violence is beyond their wildest dreams back then.

Fall back on the oldest excuse! BLAME THE GUN!

What I’ve failed to understand is why for all of these years, ownership of fully automatic firearms has basically been prohibited (through grandfathering) in the United States since 1986 and 1978 in Canada, but people have been allowed to watch Arnold and Sylvester and other Hollywood actors cut people up using those types of firearms in movies. It would be interesting to have severe restrictions on such movies that depict violent uses of those types of firearms, but allow persons of good character to be able to go to approved shooting ranges to make use of these sorts of rifles.

Everyone in the movie agreed that the King won his position fair and square. Yet the peaceful elite of Utopian Wakanda went violent to overthrow their King. And the sole reason?

He was not one of them.

A direct parallel to the real world as Trump is not one of them and that is the only reason why liberals in the media-political-academic-entertainment establishment want to overthrow him ... because he is not one of them.

I knew the Black Panthers of Chicago, I lived only a couple blocks north of their headquarters in Sammy Rayner’s old Funeral Home.

The real Black Panthers were not out of touch with reality like the Utopian movie is.

Ya, But the NRA is bad. I’ll bet they force Hollywood to put all that gun stuff in the movies. /s

It’s all about the money and we are the enemy because we buy the product filled with the very poison that gives kids the idea to shoot up the school.

These violent movies should be treated just like cigarettes.
