"Rambo" Stallone supports new AWB

[Monkeyleg]

Of all of the Hollywood hypocrites who make millions from using guns and violence in movies, but then speak out against guns, I don't know of many who can top Sylvester Stallone. I remember years back during the Brady Bill debates, he was interviewed by a European magazine, and spoke out in favor of gun control, despite having his own indoor shooting range at his home.

Now he's speaking out in favor of Feinstein's AWB. This is from a guy who's shot more people in a single movie than all of the school shooters of the last 20 years combined.

I've had it with this POS.

I've never understood why actors are given so much credence on any real life issue when their stock in trade is essentially a polished lie.

Wasn't it said that the Romans regarded their actors with the appropriate esteem: just above that of a cesspit cleaner, but below that of a decent whore.

DustinD, how recent is that poster? I've never seen it.

What an ahole. I don't think I'll be watching any of his movies any more.

Beautiful.

I've noticed he's using a lever gun in the ads for his latest movie.

Wonder how long it'll be before lever guns are on the "hit list".

Giving money to Hollywood by buying their fare is aiding and abetting the enemy.

*expletive deleted*ck them and their bullshit.

When the Almighty was finishing up His making of Man, He discovered that He still had a bunch of flesh, bone and hair but no more brains.  So He said to Himself, "Hmmm what should I do?"  He noticed that Man, who had brains, seemed to be just sitting around and reading books on quantum mechanics, physics, and associated serious stuff.  As a result Man seemed mostly gloomy and preoccupied and not having much in the way of distraction or humor.   So the Almighty took the leftover flesh, bone and hair and created Actor without a brain to amuse Man and all was well in the land.

It has always amazed me that an actor, who is really someone paid to do nothing more than repeat the words that someone else wrote in a convincing manner, are so worshipped by our society, yet most of the writers, who actually create the words and stories, languish in the shadows.  I'd likely care more what the writer thought than the actor, as the writer at least has a mind capable of producing more than false emotions on a stage or screen.

As for Stallone, I haven't paid money to watch anything of his since Rambo II, and I was in high schoo then.  Honestly, I think I paid for the privacy a 16 year old can find in the back of a near-empty movie theater with a young lady more than the movie.
