If you haven't seen the trailer for this, go find it. Can't post it here as it may be NSFW. It's a movie from Bobcat Goldthwait about a guy who is about to commit suicide but sees something on tv that makes him change his views and instead of killing himself starts to kill jerks. At leas that's what the trailer seems to show. There is one scene in particular that made me bust laughing yeah, go see it. I bet you'll laugh!

Just found it, watched it, and am pleased to say I have a new hero. That is *EXACTLY* the reason I do not own a handgun. I would use it.

If those two were wearing nice vigilante suits, it would be one thing. But as it is, two ordinary, unregistered citizens going around killing jerks? UNACCEPTABLE!!!

P.S. Someone needs to make a "Jerks" enemy group in AE now.

I WANT this movie, I WANT this turned into a video game that is just like this in reality. No BS. No super powered bosses, like GTA only with this exact plot. I mean free range, off the wall shooting spree. Why? Cause every time someone drove past me and splashed water on me while jogging, every double parked person who flipped me the bird, the people who park in handicapped spaces knowing the elderly need it or worse yet the elderly are behind them asking the person to move only to have them walk off laughing or pointing, to those who wear the pants down low throwing gang signs up, to the corrupt, or needy got to have, spoiled brats; two words - Bang Bang.

I am in love.

Thank you OP

I dig catharsis as much as the next guy, but there's just something about this that irks me. This is supposed to be funny, but it just isn't to me. Maybe its just the trailer, but im just not digging the vibe of the film so far. That and it reminds me a lot of Falling Down which i dig a lot more.

Still, ill give this a watch, just not in theaters.

I so want to see this movie.


I am taking my sig to MWO and MWT. Let them wonder what it means.

I think it's because it's just so obvious. We always wish we could just shoot annoying people, so the scenes pretty much write themselves.

Of course, we don't really want to shoot anyone, it's just an expression of our frustration, and it's possible the movie has another level of satire going on. But as far as the trailer goes- yeah, it's just too easy.

Do you both, by any chance, drive a Mercedes?
Thread ticker tape, while drinking the finest Merlot?
Do you wear robes made of exotic silk, chortling to yourself, or possibly aloud in an empty library by a well lit fire?
Are you part of an Ivy League?

Just a few questions

Yes! Yes I do!
Luckily I've been so emotionally crippled by religion and society that I've self-censored myself by staying away from buying guns.
Then again, I was one of those people after Columbine going "Yep. That was me, back when."

Then again, I was in the Army and got the chance to play with some of the biggest, nastiest, FUNNEST ordnance on the planet. So you could argue that I may or may not have had a moment of catharsis already...

Then again, I still occasionally do helldesk assistance for my company when we're swamped.

That was kinda my reaction as well. When a friend of mine pointed it out excitedly my reply was 'I don't think I'd quite enjoy this movie, unless the main characters realise that they've become part of the problem and off themselves at the end'.

I enjoy some good comeuppance, but death isn't necessarily good comeuppance. The trailer particularly lost me with the parking jerk, as I recall.

Off to go watch the trailer now, but I'm guessing from the commentary here that it's essentially "Foolkiller: The Movie"?



/edit: After watching trailer: A-YUP! Foolkiller with a teenaged girl sidekick! Gonna have to see this when it gets out.


Statesmonkey Sez: Lighten up! It's a game, for Lincoln's sake!
Also: Six years of casual play begins to look an awful lot like one year of hardcore play.

I'm going to have to watch this film as well. The fact this man goes out and shoots one of those spoiled reality tv show kids ..just..makes me want to see it so bad!

I like interesting reality tv as much as the next guy, but it has to be something with some education or at least no shrieking caricatures of humanity's sad state. Like say survival education shows on Discovery(I like Dual Survivor and Survivor man more then man versus wild and Man woman wild), or the number of shows on the History Channel now.

Given the amount of heavy language in the trailer, posting it here is not a good idea. I did find it on youtube with a simple search of 'God Bless America' though. If folks are still having issues finding the trailer send me a PM, I will provide a link.

As far as the movie it self... I'll rent it. I'll watch it.
