With all the movies having in common they revolve around innocent people. What does it say about society? Is it an indictment?

We'll see by the turnout at theaters, is my best guess.

Me included, but it sure looks like Hollywood is capitalizing $$$ on vigilante movies.

Started with Joker. Joker is the villain in that, movie, yet my neighbor said the crowd at the movie theater were cheering him.

That's an indictment on society, when the majority of the crowd pull the vigilante.

For you that say there's no imaginary guy in the sky, who is it you believe takes care of business, if it's not the laws of the universe?

Has Hollywood come up with someone you can believe in, this pig? The pig is pretty brutal in his approach, but to each his is own, I guess.

Mike, the last time I was to a show house was in Orange County CA to see the Empire Strikes Back when it first came out. I haven’t spent a dime on cinemas since, never needed an Actor and never will.

Started more or less with the Death Wish movie series, the original being released in 1974. That series made the vigilante into a hero figure. Since that movie series' success, Hollywood has been riding the vigilante/hero wave all the way to the bank.

Can you point out the nonexistent guy here that said anything about an imaginary guy in the sky?

Nobody here can hear the voices like you do..

You must've missed it, not gonna mention any names.

My nephew and I were talking months ago, when the plandemic was 15 days to flatten the curve , he was pointing out barely anyone believes in God anymore.

He was saying there needs to be a new God, made me think back to our conversation, when I saw this pig.

I'm good though, Im a minority believer in the one and only God with a son named Jesus.

Maybe the pig can keep the rest in check?

I'm with ya, the last movie I sat down for at movie theater, was Cape Fear.

Probably the best vigilante movie of all times, Cape Fear....... or Billy Jack.

I still gotta alert my nephew of this new fictional pig god, Hollyweird created.

He doesn't believe in the one and only God, with a son named Jesus.

I gotta ask him what he thinks, if this pig can keep non-believers abiding to the honor system, Freedom.

What are your thoughts, pretty brutal way to police such a simple concept as morality, or western values eh? Smile

Cruz'r notified me he spun in his night time qualifier, said only two FFC cars made it down. Eek

I asked if the two that made were relatively fast early in the run, or did they sniff it out and go A to B, slow.

Should I post his reply here? To spice it up al little here? Confused
