[quote="Big Jake":0bdd7]The Film Sucked!!
Now, before I get flamed for my response, let me give my reasons why it sucked.

1. The film blamed everyone in the American Society EXCEPT the gunmen. He didn't even think of that. I'll just blame, the NRA, K-Mart, Video Games, Heavy Metal, the U.S. Armed Forces but those 2 nut jobs that actually did the shooting, I won't blame them.

2. I really enjoyed the part where he flamed the U.S. Military, especially the AF. He goes to the AF Academy in Co. Springs and says "The B52 that is on display there is a plaque that glorifies the bombing of North Vietnamese Civilians."
The operation that he is talking about is Linebacker II. What he fails to mention is in fact that the Operation targeted Key military targets, Radio stations which at that time was broadcasting Propaganda. Railroads, which is responsible for troop movements, Airfields, and powerplants. Thanks to that Operation, it helped bring American Involvement in Vietnam to an end thus, saving more lives in the process.

3. Flaming the NRA, saying they had no right in Denver, they weren't welcomed, and basically waving them off as a bunch of gun nuts. Just b/c Heston was using his rights of Free Speech, (which I might add the director was using) But his "Ambush" Of Heston wasn't very well played out. Heston did a good job defending the NRA, and the rights of all Americans. (My hats off to Heston for that) In the end, I think the director looked like a moron even though he played it off like he was the righteous crusader who was right.

4. Even though it pains me to say this, I think he was right with the KMart issue of selling 9mm Ammo. I agree with that its kind of crazy for Kmart and Wal Mart to be selling that type of ammmo. Let people go the the gun store (which there are plenty of)

In Conclusion, I think the movie could have been better if the director wasn't so hell bent on making everyone else look bad besides the gunmen. In the end, it wasn't Charlton Heston, the U.S. Military, the Rock Stars, and the Video Game designers that walked in that school and lit the place up. It was acouple of kids who in their right mind should not have had those weapons, and if their parents were doing their jobs right maybe it wouldn't have happened. I for one was brought up that whatever actions I do I'm responsible for nobody else but me. The Director just doesn't get that.

Ok, I'm done now I need a beer. beer:[/quote:0bdd7] "he" is that fat guy with the beard that got booed at the oscars or somehting, right? michal somefin'
