I want to tell you about my idea

I'm sure Keanu feels soooo bad lol

Well said, Mr Cameron.
I love it when people are reasonable and humble enough to criticize themselves, admit past mistakes. That sorta thing can be in rare supply.

James Cameron has the stupidest takes every time he opens his mouth.

I’ll agree with gun bans if the following conditions exist:

1) You first take away all guns from the police, military, and all private security that these rich people use
2) You can magically make all guns in existence disappear
3) You magically make all knowledge of how to produce guns removed from all documentation and peoples minds
4) 3d printers are banned

Anything short of those things won’t achieve your goal.

uh oh

HHmmm ... still a great filmmaker and I understand his opinion and where he's coming from ... I just disagree. Those movies are fine the way they are and probably wouldn't be as good if it wasn't as gun and action heavy.

People don't use guns in crimes because they thought it was cool in a movie. Yes, the Columbine kids played games like Doom, and read books and watched movies with gun violence. But would they have still done what they did without those things? Almost assuredly. They may not have dressed up in trenchcoats like Neo from the Matrix, but they certainly would have still done what they did. Because the media they were into isn't what broke them. It was how they were treated by their peers in school, along with a lack of attention from their parents. That doesn't excuse what they did, but it is the core reason they did it.

Same with every other mass shooter. They aren't doing these things because of the Terminator, or any other movie with guns. They are doing it because they have issues, and guns happen to be the most efficient way to hurt as many as people as possible.

Do you know how many people watch action movies and play video games with guns? Countless millions. Billions even. The people that go on shooting sprees don't even make up 1% of the population. They probably don't even make up .05%. They are people with a very specific mental disorder that would cause them to act out on these crazy thoughts. Blaming this crap on movies and video games is insane, quite frankly.

This man equated testosterone to a toxin. He says a lot of stupid shit in his older years. I respect what he's done for cinema, but so many people in Hollywood are some of the most self important, self absorbed people on the planet.
