Film Discussion of the Week: God Bless America

Bobcat Goldthwait? The same Bobcat Goldthwait from the Police Academy movies?

Don't mince your words, Balder. Why don't you tell us how you really feel about it?

You might like Commando 

I'm pretty sure you will need to revise this opinion once you watch Commando. 

You mean like how the protagonists turned out to be the same thing they claimed to be doing something about?

Balder It's about a depressed man named Frank, who's divorced and has a bratty daughter who doesn't appreciate him. Then, after 20 years on the job, he gets fired for something that would normally receive a warning. Then he discovers he has a terminal brain tumour. He goes home nad watches the TV, flicking channels, going through vulgarity after vulgarity.

He then notices the similarities between his daughter and the bratty behaviour of 'Chloe', who's based 'Audrey' from a show called My Super Sweet 16:

(skip to 1:27 for her defining moment)

So, rather than put a bullet in his own head, he decides to go on a spree of social cleansing, joined by a little psychopath of a teenager Roxy, cleaning out people "Who deserve to die", like Westboro "God Hates Fags" types, obnoxious TV presenters, people who double park, etc.


BTW any of you Americans ever hear from Westboro again after gays won their right to marry? Have they been heard from since?

Dan E. Kool It's not like you saw a shooting coming. Also, I'm kind of surprised that something like in the movie hasn't happened already. That was back in '10 or '11 and back then they didn't have all these American extremist groups (who just want to raise havoc, nothing else), people Frank would run out of bullets with.
