When it comes to guns, Hollywood suffers from a self-imposed dissociative identity disorder.

Sylvester Stallone has made a fortune on the silver screen killing people with machine guns and exploding arrows. Yet he embraces gun control for the commoners. In 1998, Sly said, "Until America, door to door, takes every handgun, this is what you're gonna have. It's pathetic. It really is pathetic. It's sad. We're living in the Dark Ages over there."
ReplyDeleteTypical Hollywood.
two geezers way past there best movies..bet back in the day when they were making millions with those guns in movies they werent so anti-gun..these two guys are way past their primes in the movie biz and as they get into their 60's whats left to do besides bitch
ReplyDeleteSome-where on the web are copy's of Sly's CCW permits. As for Arnold. He's made millions with action films, but Hey He's only shot blanks. I guess thats like "Not inhaling" or "being outside US territorial waters" .
ReplyDeleteMaybe they should re-release "Commando" and where AH nold says "Let me get my rifle" and goes for the HK91 to defend his house and daughter, they could CGI in something else like in E.T., maybe a garden hose or pepper spray.
