Avoid the movie "Shoot 'Em Up"- It's very anti-Democratic

I'm embarrassed that I actually saw this movie, but it was pretty anti-Dem. I won't reveal the story line. Just a heads up.

3. Can you shed some light as to why you think this is so?

Without revealing the storyline to a movie I'm not going to see anyway.

5. What kind of movie were you expecting?

Just by the title it has to be about guns or junkies. Usually both.

6. Oh? How so?

After I read Ebert's review, I actually was thinking I had to see this movie. What is anti-Dem about it?

7. Gun porn usually has a lot of fascist overtones.

Human beings are depicted as falling into two groups - asocial psychopaths and targets.

8. Because he's a british nanny and he's dangerous?

9. i saw it and really liked it.

i am not a fan of guns in "real" life but i love extreme action movies. this movie doesn't pretend to be anything else but a gratuitous shoot-fest. my kind of movie. helps me get my agression out in a harmless (to others) way.

and i didn't see anything anti-dem. what did you have a problem with?

12. you didn't find

their choice of villain (and what the villain was doing) odd?

10. the movie was HILARIOUS..

I'd like to know what you perceived as being anti-dem. Was it the guy polishing his gun in the toilet stall, or the dude in the diapers at the whorehouse?

11. I didnt see it as anti dem but thought is was a B movie, should have been cheaper.
