The Morning Rant

"Actually, the whole idea of Hollywood trying to go all anti-gun in movies is stupid. Because the underlying message (the 'subtext', if you will) of many, perhaps most, Hollywood movies is simply this: sometimes, you just need a gun.

"Actually, I'd like to revise and extend this subtext a bit. Part one is, as I've just mentioned, sometimes you just need a gun. And then Part two is: some guys just need to be shot.

"You can put up as many anti-gun bumper stickers and billboards in the background as you like, but as soon as the good guy picks up a piece and blows away one or more bad guys, it makes a complete mockery of any anti-gun propaganda or argument the director might want to hit the audience with.

"You can make an anti-war movie. You can make an anti-death penalty movie. You can make movies that push many aspects of the progressive agenda. But the way Hollywood makes movies, I don't think it's possible to make an anti-gun movie. Not without it getting laughed out of the theater.

"I mean, if you want to show a movie where bad guys get their just desserts, what works better on the screen, a soy boy riding in on his segue and handing out subpoenas, or a sneering punk getting his head blown clean off by a large-bore handgun wielded by a good guy?"

Bakin'!

Friday's celebs: Katharine Ross and Sam Elliott. The main connection I was looking for was they're married. In fact, they've been married since 1984, which in Hollywood terms is, like, an eternity. Good for them. Also, they've also been in a bunch of movies together, the first one being Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid (a movie which does not hold up well at all, by the way). However, they never met during the filming of that movie. Ross was one of the stars and Elliot just had a small part. How small? In the credits, his character's name is listed as 'Card Player #2'.
