how about the good guys with guns?

I haven't heard how a good guy with gun prevented a mass shooting before

KoiceReloaded:


Ha! Another misinterpretation. Bit short sighted, isn't it?

Let's examine it this way; you hate guns but have had to settle in pro-gun state like Texas for work reasons. In every election day, native Texans troop out en masse to elect pro-gun Republicans, despite the prevailing mass shootings in the state. At a point, you gotta wonder at the lucidy of people living around you. Thus, the pity I felt for anti-gun people living in Texas. They are victims of warped culture and ideology.

You should have said that in the first place. Reread your original comment and see how it could be taken another way.

are there no good guys with guns during these mass shootings?

Zoharariel:


I'd rather rate this movie 4/10.

Aside from the "Adjudicator" whose accent, gait & command of english gives me an erection, the movie is not worth the hype.

They sent close to 500 guys (if not more) bearing arms after you - and none of them could put a bullet in your skull - even at close range?

There were even moments when some of his assailants had close shots of killing him with sword and they would suddenly pause and say: Mr. Wick, get up and let's start all over.

Why? Because actor no dey die!


This is just my opinion by the way.

There are only 3 movies that have never been rivaled by any other movie I have ever seen.

1.) The Count of Monte Cristo (2002) - Jim Caviezel, Guy Pearce & Dagmara Domińczyk

2.) Saint (1997) - Val Kilmer & Elisabeth Shue

3.) Spy Game (2001) - Robert Redford & Brad Pitt

The only movie that came so close to matching these 3 movies was "Operation Red Sea (2018)".

I was pausing the movie to smoke a stick of cigarette every 20minutes or thereabout just to suppress my adrenalin rush - but for where?

Honestly, Hollywood is becoming more & more boring by the day.

This is just my opinion by the way.

My sincere condolence goes to the families of poor souls that died in a mass shooting, but if some of them leaned pro-gun, then they more or less had it coming. Adverse actions have consequences.

That Operation Red Sea is one of my most reverred war movies to date. It's amongst my top 3 if not the best. It's a masterpiece, and surprising coming from the Chinese.

2. Drugs, failed healthcare and mental care. When you have mad people and guns, chaos happens. The US healthcare system is driven by profits unlike the EU where it is government run and heavily regulated. The lack of regulations in the US leads to over prescription of certain mind bending drugs by doctors to patients. Drugs companies want to sell drugs by any means. Furthermore, mental health is expensive in the us compared to EU where healthcare is free

Should be dubbed "The Aging of The Machines". Sarah Connor (Linda Hamilton) and Schwarzenegger look old AF. I have a bad feeling about this. Anytime an R rated content exceeds $100m production cost, I ken instinctively we're in for loads of fancy VFX, weak plot lines, and little to no characterizations. It's a pattern that have reiterated itself more times than I can count. Don't wanna rain on anyone's parade, but I'ma call it right now, this movie is gonna suck balls in the BO, and suck even harder in the review boards.

KoiceReloaded:



This list geniunely warms my heart. DC have much grittier stuffs than Marvel, and thus should strive to thoroughly capitalize on these. Constraining their ardent themes to pretentious PG-13 grubs haven't accommodated them well since TDK trilogy.

Anticipating more R rated DC contents from WB.

You forget the Chinese ( Hong kong) had a very very vibrant movie industry. And somehow, they seem to have absorbed them. When Hong Kong returned to China, their movie industry fled to the us. But today, they have assimilated. Jacky Chan is if I recall fully pro government. And they have the cash for proper productions.

Basically they are also playing the American game. Movies can be used to sell your army as good guy supermen.

As usual I have downloaded but am yet to watch

Cheers01:


What is this local goat saying?

You do realise that a security guard was shot by police after stopping a mass shooter, not long ago?

Raalsalghul:
Expecting the MCU to announce a standalone villain film.
By the book "Copy cats"
At least even with our missteps, D.C has been creative with their projects.
Can't say the same for Marvel with their generic, safe, easy-to-forget films with mostly the same tone.

Yea my bad. I seem to forget.
That's why I so like their movie industry. U can definitely use it as a nationalist front. To sell your military and might. Glad it's not only the West who knows this and apply this logic.

Such ideology make me wonder what the yanks were smoking when they made those shitty films about winning the Vietnamese war when they horribly shite themselves. The funny thing is that American audience lapped it all up back then

KoiceReloaded:


MCU movies are not exactly emotive. They are comedies masquarading as superhero films. They will make you laugh, but will neither make you think nor reflect. They don't intellectually stimulate, at all. Humor is the central motif, and while it's not necessarily a bad thing, it often takes the bite out of an emotive premise. This is where a darker, more poignant, bleaker, and utterly depressing premise could work best.

I like MCU, but their films are shallow AF. I crave a dark and uncensored superhero film, and if DCEU should go that route, I'm all in... sign me up.

Dark Phoenix


3 / 10


Disappointment abounds...


Firstly, Sophie Turner was just NOT it...! Overall the movie just seemed like one low budget skrep... From the terrible uniforms to the depressing lines... Found myself fast forwarding all through the movie... Almost the same feeling I experienced while watching Wonder Woman back then, only difference is this Dark Phoenix didn't make me want to pull out my eyes flush them down the toilet... That WW movie is something I can never unsee... Very traumatic experience


3 / 10 rating for Dark Phoenix

ornicus:


That’s the root cause of their opioid crisis. Ironically we are having the same problem in Nigeria. Drug companies are profiting off the northern codeine crisis, though in their case there is almost definitely some collaboration with criminals

ornicus:


But so did we na. Rambo 2 is still a guilty and foolish pleasure for me. Or missing in action etc. American heros against murderous evil Vietcong.

Somehow the anti war Vietnam movies passed over us back then.

The post Iraq war mess was an eye opener about the invincibility and moral superiority of us military.

gustav25:



We have looked 147million times into the future, and sadly there are no odds of these movies becoming successful like the Mcu . Reality is often disappointing

Our black and white tv don spoil

abduleez1:


Lol. This guy funny.

I hope you still have this Sarcasm when You start receiving casualties in the next 3 yrs.

My Opinion: Marvel won't be grossing that big after 2020. Sure u will get Box office hits but you ain't gonna be a Juggernaut of yore.

Your release slate doesn't look that strong to me for the next phase. And DC movies are already moving to the next step already. Arguably gonna even better your BO earnings.

You can troll all u want but DCEU got a billion dollars from a comedic joke of a Superhero - Aquaman. A C- Lister even at that. Imagine what will happen with our popular Big Guns title coming up with better Screenplay and Directors.

WB isn't fooling around for the next 5 yrs

Nonsense mixed with truths and half truths.

The mass shootings occur in America more than any other developed country for the following reasons;

1. Availability of guns and gun culture. Compared to Europe, getting guns in the US is easy. The gun culture as well is to blame. When people have guns, they will shoot. Some think they are in the wild wild west as cowboys. Even the police in America are trigger happy.


2. Drugs, failed healthcare and mental care. When you have mad people and guns, chaos happens. The US healthcare system is driven by profits unlike the EU where it is government run and heavily regulated. The lack of regulations in the US leads to over prescription of certain mind bending drugs by doctors to patients. Drugs companies want to sell drugs by any means. Furthermore, mental health is expensive in the us compared to EU where healthcare is free.

3. Overall stupidity of the average American. For a developed country, America ironically boasts of a very poor public school education system. Then there is the issue of stupidity caused by excessive christianity. There is a significant portion of the American populace that believes in guns. Bibles and guns. They see guns as a necessity. They have been brainwashed by a religion and an education that guns are a necessary part of life


4. Polarisation of the political system. Democrats vs Republicans. Christians vs gays and abortion clinics. Conservatives vs immigrants. Pro life vs pro choice. Obama was the antichrist and Trump is a Nazi. Hatred that leads to violence.
