Movie News

I appreciate SyFY's and Paramounts judgment in deciding to defer the showing of the two shows mentioned--but there is a larger issue here.   Yes the shocking events are unusual in Suburban America.   But the reality is that similar events are taking place regularly in Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, Gaza, Israel, with body counts numbering into the hundreds.   Now people are up in arms again about guns.   I say to you this is not about the availability of guns--it is about how we treat each other and how we deal with an element that values human life so little that they are willing to deprive strangers of what is so precious.   This is about an attitude of people.   I say that if this shooter wanted to kill people and did not have access to guns he would have found something else--a bomb, gasoline, malatov cocktails--the real issue is to start treating people and human beings of all kinds that they matter, and that life is precious, not a commodity to be traded, or a pawn to be taken with no cost.  This perp gave all -- and the fact that he was willing to do that and steal from the world 26 other lives that mattered, is the real horror that needs to be addressed.  There are too many like that in the world, and they, not guns, are the enemy.

For once, not only one, but, two,  correct calls. Kudos to Paramount, and, SyFy channel.

Why?  I'm a big fan of Jack Reacher series.  They didn't have any school or movie shootings in them.  Although I won't be seeing this movie due to bad casting. Why Tom Cruise?  Jack Reachers character is at least 6 foot 4 and built  like a tank kind of man.  Tom Cruise is either of these.  Why did Lee Child go with this.  It's has bad casting as Tom Cruise as Lestat in Interview of a Vampire of course Ann Rice spoke out against it.  Lee Child should of done the same.
