Jim Carrey withdraws support for Kick-Ass 2 following Sandy Hook - Polidicks

[QUOTE=DaCommie1;41166208]He's a vegan supporter of PETA, anti vaccine, and pro gun control. I'm ashamed for my country because of this knob.[/QUOTE] Personally I'm more ashamed of it because of comments like this one but whatever floats your boat.

While I support Jim Carrey's right to speak his mind, couldn't he get sued for this? If he did it knowing that he could, he has some big balls. Props.

[QUOTE=RobbL;41166327]Didn't he realise that violence existed before sandy hook happened or what?[/QUOTE] maybe seeing a tragedy involving young children dying in a massively syndicated news story while working on a film involving young children dying/killing made him feel bad and he just wants people to know he doesnt personally support that kind of violence anymore? carrey never once says he thinks movies cause violence, but maybe, just maybe, the sandy hook incident hit home, and he made a personal choice, out of sympathy and guilt, to say he doesnt think that kind of violence is his cup-of-tea (he has kids)

This is exactly what I'm refering to when I use the term "bleeding heart liberal".

stop treating this like "wow dumb actor thinks movies cause killings what an idiot, just keep making bloody/graphic films and keep your mouth shut" [editline]24th June 2013[/editline] [QUOTE=Savyetski79;41166461]This is exactly what I'm refering to when I use the term "bleeding heart liberal".[/QUOTE] people feel sympathy/empathy that make them feel bad because violence affects everyone differently [B]the horror[/B]

Don't be like this JC. I want you to still be funny and do funny movies.

I really dislike Jim Carrey. He's an anti-vaccine nutjob and I can only laugh at him in movies.

[QUOTE=TheTalon;41164426]Well Jim Carrey has recently turned into one of those We're all children of the world who need to love one another, Maaaan types. [/QUOTE] Man that sure is an awful thing to be. Why can't he he love violence like a reasonable adult?

[QUOTE=Bat-shit;41164819]But school massacres are a rather recent or at least to say a modern phenomenon, wouldn't you say? Besides, violence and crime has been in decline ever since forever, pretty much. But a burst of violence happening within a very brief time by a single gunman, it's.. different.[/QUOTE] "The Bremen school shooting was a school shooting that occurred on June 20, 1913 at St. Mary's Catholic School (St.-Marien-Schule) in Walle, a quarter of Bremen, Germany. The gunman, 29-year-old unemployed teacher Heinz Schmidt from Sülze, indiscriminately shot at students and teachers, causing the death of five girls and wounding more than 20 other people, before being subdued by school staff. He was never tried for the crime and sent directly to an asylum where he died in 1932." 100th anniversary was a couple days ago MMMMHMMM

I'm sure if he's so against the message this movie sends then he'll have no problems returning his paycheque so he's not "profiting off of violence."

Man that guy doesn't like violent movies? WHAt a Fucker he should keep his FUC KING mouth shut I Am SO GODDAM mad at him

[QUOTE=DaCommie1;41166540]I'm sure if he's so against the message this movie sends then he'll have no problems returning his paycheque so he's not "profiting off of violence."[/QUOTE] who knows, maybe he will

This seems a bit unnecessary given how comically over the top Kickass is, but at least he's not being a prick about it.

When his friends are all like "hey we're gonna go watch Dredd" and he's all like "no thanks" he might as well be breaking into my house and slapping my dick out of my hand.

[QUOTE=Led Zeppelin;41166201]I thought that was pretty funny. Charlton Heston was a putz anyhow.[/QUOTE] How so?

[QUOTE=BusterBluth;41166650]How so?[/QUOTE] the guy thought there was a "war on white, christian, straight, gun-owning men" talked about his love for guns constantly, and his devout christianity said that gun violence was due to too many blacks/hispanics he did good things but his personal opinions were racist and homophobic, and he was pretty much a non-violent white supremacist the song makes fun of hypocrisy of being racist and supporting it with his faith, yet his rabid support of guns which go against his christian preaching

[QUOTE=gamefreek76;41164518]Jim Carrey is a talentless hack anyways.[/QUOTE] He was fantastic in "In Living Color". [video=youtube;_UpZZGeOP2Q]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_UpZZGeOP2Q[/video]

sorry but what does "withdraws support" actually mean? He's not going to advertise it?

If he actually gave a shit about violence in movies and how they might relate to school shootings and all that nonsense, he wouldn't have participated in the movie in the first place.

[QUOTE=Trunk Monkay;41167102]If he actually gave a shit about violence in movies and how they might relate to school shootings and all that nonsense, he wouldn't have participated in the movie in the first place.[/QUOTE] he filmed kick ass a month before the sandy hook tragedy, it has maybe traumatized him or something like that.

So what, it emotionally affected him and he doesn't feel right doing it. Why does that put him in the wrong? You lot need to grow up.

[QUOTE=Zannabluke;41167305]he filmed kick ass a month before the sandy hook tragedy, it has maybe traumatized him or something like that.[/QUOTE] Like I said, if he actually cared about violent movies relating to shootings like the one in Sandy Hook (or any of the other [b]sixteen[/b] mass shootings in the US during 2012) he wouldn't have acted in the movie in the first place.

"Guns are EEEVUL..THEY CHOSE WHO THEY MURDER!!"

[QUOTE=Bat-shit;41167351]Still in the 20th century at least.[/QUOTE] well how far back do you want to go? because you might have a point, there were no school shootings before state education and firearms became popularised!

So does this mean Kickass 2 is not featuring him, orrr? I mean I know he changed his mind after Sandy Hook, but.. It's a movie. It's not telling kids, or anyone to go out and do whatever they do in the movie. You'd have to be clinically insane to follow what they'd do in Kickass(2)
