Heard an interview with Dustin Hoffman last year and apparently he refused to take parts that involved guns. I'm sure there's something out there, but I tried the think of a movie where he actually held one and couldn't do it.

Aaaaand, of course this exists:

So there's a few, but not very many considering his contemporaries. Forgot about Straw Dogs and Hook. Never did see Marathon Man, which I just never got around to.

Why do I want to see Chappie? I can't explain it, but I really want to go see it.

Because of District 9! An incredible movie. An INCREDIBLE movie. I loved it.

Thanks for the link to that website, been killing time searching various different actors. It's really hard to find any actors who didn't use a gun in any of their movies.

And because it looks like Short Circuit, only with more Sharlto Copley and less Steve Guttenberg. (okay fine I know Copley isn't really "in it", but still)

I gotta say that I am sad that the reviews have been relatively negative. I am a stodgy bastard now when it comes to paying for movies (especially in this damned city where it's a 60 dollar 2 hours for a date, a soda and a popcorn).

I think there was a Chappie trailer in the last six movies I saw, and I've seen at least one commercial for it every day for a month it seems.

I'm not sure I've wanted to see a movie less.

Just saw the imitation game. The characters were too shallow, the history too inaccurate, the science too dumbed down, the dialogue too expositional, the plot too cliche, the emotions too forced. But other than that it was a good movie i guess.

Big Hero 6: rented and watched with the kids. I think the adults and kids enjoyed it equally. Nothing amazing, but a fun family-friendly flick.

Divergent: Meh. I know it's the first in another trilogy and I'd be interested to see where a few pieces of the story end up going but overall it was just ok.

Gone Girl: I must be the only person in the world that thinks this, but I found it boring.

Expendables 3: Another meh. I thought the first 2 were pretty entertaining. This one not so much.

There are a few criticisms of Gone Girl I would probably consider valid, but I don't think boring is one of them.
