Well... who hasnt secrety wanted to murder all those stuck up tv personalities who are only on tv because they have hair-trigger tempers? And the WBC, who i see has a special mention there in the trailer.
Despite my initial misgivings about the name, this looks pretty decent.

Looks wildly amusing. Tasteless? Yes. Do I think that's a bad thing? Nope. I may have to watch it just for those satirical TV shows at the beginning of the trailer.
Quote: "Let's hope you'll be tempted to do what he almost did at the beginning instead."
How is that warning worthy? Telling someone you'd rather if they killed themselves than a bunch of innocent (if annoying) people is somehow wrong?
OT: It just looks way too simplistic and not at all well thought out, it's a movie based on one joke, "hey, let's kill all the stupid/annoying people cause we can".
And girl aspect from Leon? More like Super. Hell, the whole movie screams Super, with all the depth ripped out - take out the superhero motif, change the character's motivation to a brainless "because I can", broaden the target range to annoying (Super even had a moment like that, though an actually meaningful one) and apply one solution to everything - shoot them.
The brainlessness of this movie is simply ironic. I get the idea behind it, but it's such trash without a touch of depth, the people making it fall into the category of the people they're getting rid of in the movie. And no, that's not the joke of it.

Uhm, where did I say that is how we measure quality? Read the thread titles where it says "And All The Oscars goes to God Bless America". I was simply replying to that statement that this movie isn't Oscar material. Please stop reading too much into things and make an argument where there's no need for one. I even said I thought this movie looked fun so I can't imagine that my statement said anything of the sort.Sylveria said:
Out of context, sure. But considering what he's responding to ("I'd be tempted to go on a killing spree myself if it'd basically be consequence free"), he's actually telling him to do a comparably very positive thing. Ban me if you like, but consider me in the +1 column for that comment, I'd rather see a terminally ill person blow their own head off than go around killing innocent people just because they can.Lionsfan said:
You win the thread! No reason for any more posts, guys.Fawxy said:IN THIS THREAD
It's mindless, stupid, cathartic black humor. I will most certainly enjoy it when it's released.
Does that make me (or anyone else who does) a bad person? That's up to you to decide. Just take solace in the fact that none of us give a shit.
This film seems to be saturated with misanthrope. Sort of taking the Breaking Bad "man who is dying" idea and combines it with a mass murdering columbine-like mindset where people whom are deemed inferior or people who "deserve to die" are shot without a second thought.
The fanbase of a film like this would sit in the movie theater watching innocent people being shot and cheering the whole time just because the people happen to be 'annoying'.
I understand the mindset, having little tolerance for popular culture and stupid people, but c'mon this is just a cynical and hateful film.

This remains the single most disgusting thing I've ever seen in film.
It's shallow, demented bullshit about arrogant fucking jerkasses who think that they can decide who is worth of life or death.
This doesn't look funny, good or anything positive. This is a hate-filled movie made by hate-filled idiots who can't get over the fact that nobody wants to be their friend. Probably because their such fucking hate-filled idiots.

Yeah, I thought about that too. By the middle of the trailer I was already thinking "Wow, these two people are huge dicks, they are killing anyone that even thinks about doing something that doesnt go along with their perfect imaginary vision of the world". I get that sometimes there are some things that can make someone rage (Fox News, reality shows, hipsters...) but still...RagTagBand said:
It could have been a better movie if the whole movie was about them planning one hit on one particular person with a lot of influence in the world, at least in my opinion.
Uhhm, catharsis huh?
Some people apparently don't have the patience for a zombie apocalypse XD.
Kind of makes me wonder though. Suppose everyone in the US goes bananas one day over the global financial collapse or peak oil production or what have you and all those proud gun owners reach for their pieces in order to deal some private justice. Wrong place, wrong time...and some redneck could end your life because he hates hipsters and thinks you are one. Or snobs, or slackers.
Think about it, we all either fit or can be made to fit (by way of argument/ appearance) into a "negative" category. Imagine yourself getting shot by the guy in the trailer...over a remark. Or the way you wear your cap. Or the cap you wear.
It's only mindless entertainment if you choose to remain mindless about it. In which case you'd prolly be the first on my list XD.

If I'm going to watch only one piece of psychotic catharsis this year, then by god it will be this. Yes, it's stupid. Yes, it's hurr fen sheev. So what? I'm not actually go kill the kardashians because of it (no matter how much I wish they would go the fuck away and nevernever come back). I am going to watch some moving pictures for 90 minutes and laugh away my anger at a society that worships celebrities as the n'th coming of christ and lets religious zealots like the WBC go around spreading hate speech. And it looks like they're going to take a jab or five at faux news. I want to do that. Watching it'll be good enough, tho.
Oscars are just complete BS. Award always goes to 1.) Some 'touching' romance that no one actually saw 2.) some 'moving' art film no one actually liked 3.) some 'inspiring' musical you took your gf to so she would blow you later or 4.) some 'exhilarating' drama that will never be seen again outside of a high school English classroom.
uuurgh, saw the trailer, my initial reaction was "hmm, looks interesting" but it soon turned into me just thinking that it was a petty revenge fantasy by the writers with the pet hates of its target market ( holier than thou "intellects")mixed in the stew.
Personally, my opinion is that it is just not the kind of gallows/dark humor that i like...and some of the parts are in /exceptionally/ bad taste.
Though the movie bit tickled me.

I'm not entirely sure what you mean by that, as you couldn't possibly be serious.Sylveria said:
