for CCWs.

[Dinho]

sounds good but will it have a stupid ending that pushes the left's agenda?

Well, it IS set in NYC!

Not CCW, vigilante!

It's Jody Foster's take on the classic Death Wish. Jody Foster is one of the most anti-gun/anti-ccw/anti-self-defense bastards in Hollywood. BOYCOTT HER CRAP.


“Isn’t it possible that we all have that bit of insanity in us? That’s why I’m for gun control. Absolutely. I don’t believe that people should have access to life-or-death situations at any emotional time in their life. I don’t really believe that a human being who feels [things] should have the option at their fingertips.”

[Armed Infidel]

Looked like it could be an interesting movie. Of course a Hollywood would never actually put out a true "gun movie".

Darn!!! This looked promising from the clips. Interesting that Hollywierd builds the previews to seemingly appeal to pro-gun types, while making the actual movie propagate anti-gun sentiments. Advertising is always produced to appeal to the largest group it can. In other words, if there were more of them (anit-gun) than us (pro-gun) out there, the previews would have been 180° different. We are still the majority.

BTW, Jody Foster is still really good to look at ;). But then again, so is Angelina Jolie and look how ridiculous she is. :upeyes:

[mr00jimbo]

This seems to be a movie about the debate around CCW. Since she can't CCW legally in NY she was still carrying and fired in self-defense and is about how people can stand up to attackers and criminals but might be legally scrutinized for it

Thoughts?

It's the product of a notoriously anti-gun Hollywood. What do we expect???

Not necessarily. In her case, I imagine that she could finance it or get it done and direct it herself. She is pretty conservative and smart as hell. Sent herself to Yale after being a child star. I could hang with her.

I would like to hear more info on this movie. I could see her MAYBE taking the gig for the work, but she probably doesn't need it and can pick her pet projects.

It might be a good thing for the cause. Who knows.

Looking forward to it. Made my usual "if the dingbat woulda had a gun, might have turned out differently" comment during the first scene of the trailer. Got a pleasant surprise during the rest of it.
Could be good.

Gonna see it. Trailer looks promising, and I can take away from it whatever I want.

Oh damn. From the previews they made it look like somebody who was rightfully defending themselves and exposing the flaws in the judicial system denying her the legal rights to do so.

These people shape the opinions of the sheep around us. They make up a significant portion of the 50.1% that can take away your rights. You'd better care what they think.

Hard to believe someone from the media and advertising center of the world could made a comment like that.

[DJTHEMAC]

I cringed when i saw the preview. Its gonna get ugly.

[Deradius]

The previews make the film look like a very clever attempt to subtly equate the average CCW'er with a vigilante.

They seem to suggest that she has a legitimate concern for her safety, begins concealing a weapon and then places herself in a variety of vulnerable situations that allow her to retaliate with deadly force. Upon doing so, she appears (against all available evidence suggesting that reality demonstrates the opposite extreme) to enjoy the armed encounters and the damage she causes.

It looks like it could be a warped and artificial insight into the CCW mentality with a cleverly disguised homocidal sociopath at its center.

I hope the previews are distorted, and the actual film proves me wrong.

Funny how you claim to work with these people and don't seem to realize that Hollywood Movie & TV Stars are NOT ONLY FAMOUS, THEY ARE VERY WEALTHY and COMMAND a VERY LARGE AUDIENCE.

Let's use Rosie O'Donnel as an example: She has/had an audience of MILLIONS of people everyday on her TV shows and her magazines - and all of the cable shows run her filth & lies to millions more. Jodie Foster is not as powerful as Rosie, but she still has influence. ESPECIALLY in our ELECTIONS! WHO DO YOU THINK IS GIVING MILLIONS OF DOLLARS TO HILLARY & OBAMA & other Leftist Politicians????? Answer: The same pathetic Leftist Hollywood bastards like Oprah, Rosie, Damon, Afleck and Baldwin.

We can further explore the Rosie example by discussing her famous interview with Tom Selleck. Selleck is progun and NRA Director - Rosie is just an anti-gun POS who happens to talk to the same millions of people everyday. Who had the greater influence??? Rosie or Tom (with his 10 minutes on TV)


Jodie Foster is nothing more than a major HYPOCRITE. She doesn't believe in the 2nd Amendment or Your Right To Self-Defense. I haven't seen her latest movie, but I'll bet my Glock that there are plenty of Anti-gun messages contained within. The Quote above comes from an interview:

http://www.more.com/more/story.jsp?storyid=/templatedata/more/story/data/1186164961272.xml

Q: In an essay you once wrote for Esquire, you tried to get inside Hinckley's head.

A: "Clearly, there are themes that overlap, and with Taxi Driver as well. You know, the division between sanity and insanity is so arbitrary. Isn't it possible that we all have that bit of insanity in us? That's why I'm for gun control. Absolutely. Hunting, I get that -- let's protect hunting. But I don't believe that people should have access to life-or-death situations at any emotional time in their life. I don't really believe that a human being who feels [things] should have the option at their fingertips to use this many calories. [Mimes pulling a trigger]"

For what's it's worth.........I got this as an email from a friend of mine.

How long do we have?

This is the most interesting thing I've read in a long time. The sad thing about it...you can see it coming.

I have heard about this "democracy countdown" for some time. It is interesting to see it in print. God help us, not that we deserve it, especially if we sit by and let it happen.

How Long Do We Have?

About the time our original thirteen states adopted their new constitution in 1787, Alexander Tyler, a Scottish history professor at
the University of Edinburgh, had this to say about the fall of the Athenian Republic some 2,000 years earlier:

"A democracy is always temporary in nature; it simply cannot exist as a permanent form of government."

"A democracy will continue to exist up until the time that voters discover they can vote themselves generous gifts from the public
treasury."

"From that moment on, the majority always vote for the candidates who promise the most benefits from the public treasury, with the result that every democracy will finally collapse due to loose fiscal policy, which is always followed by a dictatorship."

"The average age of the world's greatest civilizations from the beginning of history, has been about 200 years"

"During those 200 years, those nations always progressed through the following sequence:

1. from bondage to spiritual faith;

2. from spiritual faith to great courage;

3. from courage to liberty;

4. from liberty to abundance;

5. from abundance to complacency;

6. from complacency to apathy;

7. from apathy to dependence;

8. From dependence back into bondage"

Professor Joseph Olson of Hemline University School of Law, St. Paul, Minnesota, points out some interesting facts concerning the 2000 Presidential election:

Number of States won by:
Gore: 19
Bush: 29

Square miles of land won by:
Gore: 580,000
Bush: 2,427,000

Population of counties won by:
Gore: 127 million
Bush: 143 million

Murder rate per 100,000 residents in counties won by:
Gore: 13.2
Bush: 2.1

Professor Olson adds: "In aggregate, the map of the territory Bush won was mostly the land owned by the taxpaying citizens of this great country. Gore's territory mostly encompassed those citizens living in government-owned tenements and living off various forms of government welfare..."

Olson believes the United States is now somewhere between the "complacency and apathy" phase of Professor Tyler's definition of
democracy, with some forty percent of the nation's population already having reached the "governmental dependency" phase.

If Congress grants amnesty and citizenship to twenty million criminal invaders called "illegal" and they get to vote, then we may say
goodbye to the USA in fewer than five years.

If you are in favor of this happening then delete this message; if you are not then Pass this along to help everyone realize just how much is at stake, knowing that apathy is the greatest danger to our freedom.

You might want to take the time and drop a note to your congressman and senators for both state and federal governments. Let them know you are not "asleep at the wheel" and that you certainly hope they aren't either.

[cal45]

The trailers that are starting to pop up on TV show her to be using a Kahr K9 as her weapon of choice.

In the Death Wish movie from the '70's, Charles Bronson's character was using a small .32 revolver that was given to him as a gift from a Texas businessman.

Say what you will about Jodie Foster... she's cuter than Charles Bronson, and MUCH cuter than Bernie Goetz. Her politics don't change the fact that "Silence of the Lambs" is among my favorite movies (and she knew how to handle a gun in that one too).

Why are there two "remakes" of "Death Wish" coming out at the same time?

Kevin Bacon is in a movie called "Death Sentence" that he said is modeled after "Death Wish."

[Wake_jumper]

LOL! Now that's a good trailer! If she is so rabidly anti gun... why would she agree to make such a movie? Perhaps she is not so anti now that she's "lived" the life of a "vigilante". She was interviewed recently about the film and here is what she had to say:

(the whole interview is here: http://www.variety.com/article/VR1117970406.html?categoryid=2508&cs=1 )


"Playing this character felt good," Foster says.

"There's something gratifying about holding a 9 millimeter in your pocket," she admits, "to have the power to know that with less calories than it takes to put a candy in your mouth, you can make a decision that says, 'I live, you die.' "

But, Foster insists, she does not act like other cinema action icons. "When she approaches the guy with a crowbar, she doesn't say, 'Listen mother****er I'm going to take you down,' " says Foster. "She says, " 'Why do you think you can hurt people? You think you can just hurt people and walk away?' That to me is so compelling. She does say, 'I want my dog back.' But throughout the movie there is such pain and longing and weakness and shame. It's a mixture of strength and so many huge vulnerable emotions. It's not the toughness or the strength that makes it work, it's the other stuff."

The movie is subversive, Foster says. "That is its strength. It will ask people to head down into a very shameful place. Some people will embrace that and feel empowered by it. And some will resent it. Some people will root for that revenge because they're with the character. But it doesn't mean she's not wrong."

Looks to me like the typical leftist HollyPerv bilge.

That is to say that the moment a person picks up a gun they become an out-of-control killer bent on revenge.

I don't agree... if someone says: [by carrying a gun], "...you can make a decision that says, 'I live, you die.' “I think they are talking about self defense and the fundamental reason to carry. When she said she didn't think someone should have access to firearms when they are overly emotional, I think she was thinking about emotional instability i.e. John Hinckley, Jr. And why wouldn't she be a supporter of Brady... after all she is the reason that Hinckley shot Reagan and Brady! I would hate to have that on my mind.

From Wikipedia, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Hinckley,_Jr.

Obsession with Jodie Foster

After repeated viewings of the 1976 movie Taxi Driver, in which a disturbed protagonist, Travis Bickle, played by Robert DeNiro, plots to assassinate a presidential candidate, Hinckley developed an obsession with actress Jodie Foster, who played a child prostitute in the film[2]. When Foster entered Yale University, Hinckley moved to New Haven, Connecticut, for a short time to be nearer to her, slipping poems and messages under her door and repeatedly contacting her by telephone.

Failing to develop any meaningful contact with Foster, Hinckley developed such plots as hijacking an airplane and committing suicide in front of her to gain her attention. Eventually he settled on a scheme to win her over by assassinating the president, with the theory that as a historical figure, he would be her equal. To this end, he trailed Jimmy Carter, then president, from state to state, but was arrested in Nashville, Tennessee on a firearms charge. Penniless, he returned home once again, and despite psychiatric treatment for depression, his mental health did not improve. In 1981, he began to target the newly elected president, Ronald Reagan. It was also at this time that he started collecting information on Lee Harvey Oswald, John F Kennedy's assassin, whom he saw as a role model.

Just prior to Hinckley's failed attempt on Reagan's life, he wrote to Foster[3]:

Over the past seven months I've left you dozens of poems, letters and love messages in the faint hope that you could develop an interest in me. Although we talked on the phone a couple of times I never had the nerve to simply approach you and introduce myself. [...] the reason I'm going ahead with this attempt now is because I cannot wait any longer to impress you.

Finding mistakes hollywood makes, especially regarding guns, is far too easy. The either don't know anything at all about the way things work in real life, ignore they way it works in real life to make the movie better, or lie in order to further their agenda. Which one just depends on the individual situation at hand.

In this case they probably wanted the "click" in the movie and don't care that a Kahr doesn't have a manual, external safety.

I seldom watch TV, and I may go to the movies twice a year. An occasional flick on one of the movie channels, and a DVD on my laptop every once in a while.

When I watch a movie, I put myself in a different frame of mind, where I don't have to pick apart every little sound effect and visual flaw.

I paid for entertainment. I prefer not to ruin it for myself.

You're right -- who knows? The trailer doesn't make it look promising, though, and the whole CCW=vigilante angle is not heartening. If she just goes after people and does another Death Wish, fine; if she obtains a carry permit in the movie, that'll be really stupid.

Sure, she's smart....but CONSERVATIVE? Well, based on the two quotes shared in this thread--one about gun control, the other about her role in this movie--I don't care how conservative she is on some issues, because on the Second Amendment she's DEAD WRONG. The fact that she's smart just makes her a more venerable opponent to the 2A.

As for the entertainment factor, that's fine and dandy. Allow yourself to be entertained. But there are plenty of people who will see something on the silver screen and think it's absolute truth, and that's where ignorance loses its bliss.

As for whether this movie will cause an uproar against CCW...

Well, based on the two quotes shared in this thread--one about gun control, the other about her role in this movie--I don't care how conservative she is on some issues, because on the Second Amendment she's DEAD WRONG. The fact that she's smart just makes her a more venerable opponent to the 2A.

As for the entertainment factor, that's fine and dandy. Allow yourself to be entertained. But there are plenty of people who will see something on the silver screen and think it's absolute truth and base their opinions by it, and that's where ignorance loses its bliss. Ask any anti what they thought about Bowling for Columbine...

As for whether this movie will cause an uproar against CCW...

WHOOPS. I meant to just edit my original post. Oh, well.
