So bad people in movies can have either guns or knives, but good people always only have guns. Or swords, I guess. Unless they're Crocodile Dundee. Write a post about it.

I second Judah above. I can only imagine that this is intended as some kind of insight into the way "Hollywood" treats male and female violence. But it misses the obvious fact that "Shoot 'Em Up" is intended as trashy, amusing fun and "The Brave One" is intended to be Very Serious Indeed. Might that offer a more cogent explanation for this discrepancy?

The SUPER HOT man in a reeeeeally bad movie.
And once again Jodie Foster as the angry victim.
I wish Hollywood could give Monica Bellucci a decent role for once
I think she has a penis in her hand...
The real question is could Jodie Foster give Monica Bellucci an orgasm AT THE SAME TIME she shoots and kills 4 bad guys? Huh?
Jodi Foster give John Hinckley, Jr. an orgasm when shot 4 guys. And she didn't even need to be there.
So yeah, she could. She totally could.
America WUUUUUUVS Guns!
Huh? I don't get it. Are they dating?
