Good on him for standing by his morals.

This movie is probably going to be terrible anyway.

i think so too since the look of the movie seems to follow more of the vol. 2 kick ass which is consider the worst vol in a comic ever mostly the nitorious rape scene by the motherfu**r

Just kinda seems like too little too late, considering he probably already got a paycheck.

I was expecting his comments to be...well, not as well spoken as they were.
Good for him, I guess?

What can you expect from the director of Never Back Down.

Cannot support it, but totally get the paycheck. So, is he gonna donate the money away then?

I respect him for his stance. Its just why not speak out against the self mutilation that his street magician character did in The Incredible Burt Wonderstone calling it magic?

Yeah...like when he... you know... decided not to take the violent role.

This made me laugh way harder than it should have.

Because who ever heard of an unspeakable tragedy changing a person's views on something?

Crazy right?

True, but blasting a movie that I'm sure provided a significant pay day seems ridiculous.
And here's hoping that that money went to "fight the good fight" because if it didn't his words are even more hollow.

EDIT: I guess what I'm saying is, if he believes this so strongly, he should have thought about it when he read the script. I mean this was before Sandy Hook....but after the July 20th Aurora theater shooting.

One thing that should be noted is he didn't come out and put the movie on blast. He very simply said he'd feel wrong promoting it. I think those are two very different things.

Some things hit people differently.

You can't say that he can't be affected by one tragedy if he isn't affected by another.


This too. He even apologized for it.

Im guessing the film depicts something a little closer to the Sandy Hook incident. The world has always been filled with terrible violence, but some events tend to hit closer to home, if you will.

Fair play.

My God. I'm tired of Carey making himself look like a fool. He's a good actor, and yet he bashes a film for its violence, and yet, he is playing one of the characters. Hypocrite. This is just like that Angus T. Jones "Don't watch Two and a Half Men" crap.:trolleye:

I...agree...with Bauer.

Oh lord....

What do you mean, "Oh lord?" You didn't expect me to say that?:tconfuse:
