My girlfriend and I both thought that movie was really funny. I reminded her to change all of the firing pins before work today.

SHOOTER: The movie.
Not like the book???? How many Hollywood movies ARE like the book??? I loved the LOTR. And I never read the books.....but I will tell you this, b/c they were faithful to the book, they were 3-4 frig'n hours long!!!! And there's 3 of them.
Now I love movies.....but that doesn't mean every movie has to be an EPIC. I mean....what happened to the good o'l 1hr 30 min long average movie????
IF the movie "SHOOTER" was like the book it would have been 5 hrs long.
Also in the book, Bob Lee Swagger does one of the dumbest things I've ever read. He goes into the woods and shoots a massive buck with (I think) a wax bullet. Once the deer is stunned, he cuts it's antlers off and throws them in the woods, so EVIL HUNTERS don't kill the buck for his big rack.
- Would you have liked that to be in the movie????
So it had to be condensed. And the movie didn't make gun owners look like crazy psycho's. Look at what Mark Wahlberg said in the movie, "People will think I'm a crazed mountain man who has too many guns." And obviously in the movie he wasn't.
Secondly.....people says he's a racist. If he IS a racist......how come he's in a movie with a black man????
I think he committed crimes that were felonies....but got them pleaded down to misdemeaners. Even if he is a felon....he's famous and rich....they don't have to live to the same standards as us peasants.
And most of Hollywood (meaning Actors, Directors, Producers, the Studio's) are ANTI-GUN. So unless you stop watching ALL movies and TV, Magazines, and Newspapers, your helping ANTI-GUN people.
So I don't really think you can avoid it. I may not like actors stands on PETA or GUNS, or POLICTICS, but I will still watch movies nonetheless.

Sure, Mr. Swagger had done more than his share of killing and had had enough. But then they killed his dog. <cue the ominous music>

Seriously guys, why take that movie so seriously? It was fun and action packed, while hillarious at the same time. The movie was predictable and Wahlberg overacted a LOT, but it doesn't make this movie particularly bad or good. Sorry if you were a fan of the book and think everything should be in step with it. It wasn't a good movie, it wasn't a bad movie. It was an ok movie that happened to have a lot of focus on guns, so I enjoyed it.

Again, Wahlberg is a felon, NOT a convicted felon.
Hollywood can't just make the movie like the book, with Tommy Lee Jones or Scott Glen in the lead. They have to do it in a way that makes you distrust the current administration, thereby making it a criticism of the current war.
Glover lost credibility when he showed up to support Chavez.

Not to sound stupid, but aren't you only a Felon once you've been convicted?
Because until you've been convicted, you are presumed innocent until proven guilty?
What do you mean by Glover showing up with Chavez?

One can commit (and in Wahlberg's case,) admit to felonies without being convicted for them. In his case he has admitted to many incidents of assault and property damage as a 'misguided youth' without actually being convicted of any felonies. He pled out to lesser charges. The law says a convicted felon can't own a gun. He's committed felonies, and is therefore a felon, even if he hasn't been convicted.
Glover introduced Chavez at an event in which Chavez reasserted his opinion of President Bush as a devil. He never made any statement that said he disagrees. When we watch a movie with a vast black helicopter-style right-wing conspiracy, we say it's just a movie. When Danny Glover is in it, he would like us to believe it's true.

But if the court says he was convicted of a misdemeanor, then he is that. Since he was not convicted of a Felony, the law assumes he is not a Felon. Correct???
So whether or not he commited a Felony, he wasn't convicted of it. So he can own a gun, right?
Isn't this similiar to O.J. Simpson? He was NOT convicted of murder, even though we all know he is guilty of murder, which is a Felony.
But since he wasn't convicted of a Felony, O.J. Simpson can own a gun, right?

This movie may be unrealistic and hypocritical but what was even worse was Wahlberg's other film, Boogie Nights. Soooo unrealistic, let me tell you!
Why are you upset about that? It will help him deal with the real killers.
