Shooting in Batman premiere?

[ChumpDumper]

Isn't there?

Can a filmmaker make a movie about killing and/or raping children and romanticize the killer/child rapist?

Sure. There actually has been a movie that did just that to an extent. I don't recall a e in child molestations because of it.

Can a political movie be made where moviegoers are encouraged to set fire to the theatre?

Or steal this book? Sure. Good luck finding a distributor now.

Is everything fair game?

For the artist? Absolutely. Whether people and businesses want to put up money for it is another story.

Almost every generation is under the assumption that things are getting worse. They complain about more sex, violence, and chaos from the newer generations. Yet, today we have a higher value of life than during any period of human history that has come prior. If you think that things have gotten worse because mass media brings you the pictures of events like yesterday, then you're doing some revisionist history.

Mass murders are nothing new.

And thats just the 20th century onward.

Was it video games and violent movies in the early 1900s?

McCarthy captured that sentiment well in No Country for Old Men.

Holy , I just went out for a while and this thread became a 20-page megathread.

[lil_penny]

the movie was set to take place in a smalltown in oregon if i remember

[leemajors]

I think the movie was funded by German and Canadian money. The director Uwe Boll is German. This is not an American movie. It was filmed in Canada but the story takes place in America.

Canada offers a lot of tax incentives for filming, and a lot of tv shows and movies are filmed there for fiscal reasons. Try again.

[Jacob1983]

Most of the actors in Rampage are Canadian and you can tell by their accents. When I watched Rampage, I was kinda rooting for the guy mainly because I wanted to see what he was planning. I also rooted for Gerard Butler in Law Abiding Citizen.

Does Colorado have the death penalty? Serial killers and mass murderers are never put in general population right? Because I don't think this smiling asshole would last too long if he had to be around with big berthas and homies in prison.

[Reck]

Uwe Boll is the biggest hack working, just zero talent and taste. I haven't seen Rampage but I've seen some of his other .

I don't believe in censorship but I wish "artists" would man up and sometimes admit that they spread their own negativity into the world.

Nailed it to the t.

Not necessarily.

Generally, in a notorious or infamous case, the killer will be in protective custody. What sucks about that is that it actually ends up being a reward because he has his own cell, comes out for recreation by himself or with other infamous offenders and generally is treated and protected from anyone kicking his ass like he deserves. His own tv watching, etc..

Sometimes, it is worse, depending on who he killed- he could turn into a "celebrity" inmate with "cred"...kinda like the internet.

Guard, why does it take so long to execute someone in death row?

I posted the same question earlier but didn't get an answer. Maybe you could shed some light in the matter?

[johnsmith]

yup. And the creepy thing is that the story looks like it takes place in a small Colorado town. I don't think they ever mention the name of the fictional town, but I wouldn't be surprised if Boll used that town to parallel similarities between Columbine and Rampage.

Except that aurora isn't a small town but rather a huge suburb of Denver.

[johnsmith]

Also, congrats SBM, you managed to make a thread about the worst mass shooting in America primarily about you and your crusade against e-bullies.....I can't imagine what is wrong with our society.

SMH.....

I don't hate sbm, but he's been flogged so many times on this site that he's changed his posting style from being himself to purposely trying to sound outrageous and stupid--taking contrarian positions just for the of it. He's the forum's Skip Bayless, but with Down Syndrome.

also i’m an ugly sack of coleslaw who totally looks like a murderer anyway because this is the face of many mass murderers

What part of his killings were politicly or religiously motivated?



Terrorism - the use of violence and threats to intimidate or coerce,especially for political purposes.

You missed the ENTIRE point of the post. Let me explain IF. HE. WERE. MUSLIM. HIS. ACTIONS. WOULD. BE. LABELED. AS. TERRORISM. Because that’s what American media does. Muslim = terrorist. Black/Latino = Criminal. White = mentally unstable. AGAIN, mentally unstable. Not terrorist or criminal. Mentally unstable, which in turn is supposed to make people pity him for such. It’s about the way the media and society is quick to slap labels onto a person solely based on the color of their skin, race, religion, ethnicity. But he is white, so let’s all prance around in a pity party for him.
Nonetheless condolences and prayers go out to all the loved ones affected by this animal’s actions.

Repost? This dude watching the movie, dropped his baby and left his daughter and wife in the theatre and drove AWAY...and he's actually giving interviews saying he basically abandoned his family in the theatre

This is the interview of the young man who helped the mother and children get out of the theatre safe after their punk ass dad ditched them.

Most of movie goers are between 18-25ish.

Why does age matter?

Agreed wholeheartedly

That's how Republicans work

Everything bad that ever happens in America can be attributed to "A lack of Christian values!"

[Blake]

There isn't a line.

Isn't there?

Can a filmmaker make a movie about killing and/or raping children and romanticize the killer/child rapist?

Can a political movie be made where moviegoers are encouraged to set fire to the theatre?

Suggestion:

If you want a line, then draw it yourself and step to one side of it.

Stop being a puss by asking someone else to draw a line for you.

It's called having a conversation about it.

I hate censorship- but at some point- you choose between humanity/safety of humans vs. making inciteful/irresponsible art.

Ad hominem - notwithstanding.

What's inciteful/irresponsible to one person might not be to another, tbh.....

You're the only one I see wanting a line drawn.

you choose the point where art becomes irresponsible.

Then no need to discuss with you.
