James Cameron is so opposed to guns, that he cut ten minutes of gun violence from his latest movie, Avatar 2. He claims that he did it because he didn’t want to fetishize the gun.
Of course, he didn’t cut ALL of the gun violence out, because then even fewer people would have watched his movie. After all, he made millions from ‘gun violence’ when he directed, produced, co-wrote, or otherwise was involved in movies like Dark Angel, True Lies, Titanic (which had gunplay), the Aliens series of movies, The Abyss, Point Break, Alita: Battle Angel, and the 33 movies, TV shows, video games, and other stories of The Terminator series.
No, he left plenty of gun play in Avatar 2, even though he claims to hate guns so much that he moved from North America to New Zealand because “they just banned all assault rifles two weeks after that horrific mosque shooting a couple of years ago” but doesn’t hate the fact that he is making millions of dollars off of movies with gunplay in them.
Look, I would still respect Mr. Cameron even as I disagreed with him over this issue, if he took a principled stance and refused to use any firearms at all. That isn’t what he does. He uses enough scenes involving firearms to make money, then claims to be “sick to his stomach” about “gun violence” even as he becomes wealthy by using them.
Then there is the fact that Cameron can afford to hire, and does hire, private armed security guards. It isn’t that he hates guns. It’s that he hates when poor people have guns. Poor being anyone who has less money than him, that is.

Hi Divemedic,
Funny thing you should mention that G.I.?? I am amused!! He can go hang out with Greta count his millions!! Who could care less…. Personally, when watchin’ the silver screen, bring on Sergio Leone!!! “Hang em’ High; The Good, Bad and Ugly…’ etc…. Remember Eli in the soap suds n the tub!!! “BLAM!!, BLAM (about 5x!!) and then “When you have to Shoot, Shoot, Don’t Talk!!!!!” That’s what!!!!!

Ah, just another rich Hollywood Hypocrite. At least that’s one less on the CA voter rolls. Maybe.

As mentioned above it’s just another leftist hypocrite. And it’s spot on about not wanting anyone more poor than him to be able to fight back. Though it always amuses me with the gated communities with lots of guards for them to say they don’t belive in guns for citizens or that there is a epidemic of violence. Of course the violence is in areas they are not so it must be overdone… But as long as they can hire protection they can virtue signal to the rest of us that can’t afford to hire guards right? I watch so few movies and TV shows anymore due to this. Others can pay for their lifestyle to look down on us, won’t be my money.

A Hollywood libshit talking out both sides of his mouth? I don’t believe it.
Something I get to say a lot these days is “fuck that guy”. I’ll say it again right now about james cameron.
