And they\u2019re going to wish they weren\u2019t alive after I\u2019m done with them.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The shock jock asked whether the film was going to be a documentary. Mr. Weinstein said no, that it would be a \u201cbig movie like a \u2018Mr. Smith Goes to Washington.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The movie mogul said his vision was to scare people away from firearms. He foresees moviegoers to leave thinking, \u201cGun stocks \u2014 I don\u2019t want to be involved in that stuff. It\u2019s going to be like crash and burn.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Yeah, I&#8217;m worried. Weinstein obviously thinks that Hollywood has much more influence over the American culture than it actually does. I&#8217;m pretty sure that movie goers will stay away in droves if they think that they&#8217;re going to be preached to on their own dime. The only people who will go are the minority of Americans who don&#8217;t own guns anyway. So, basically, they&#8217;ll be preaching to the choir. I don&#8217;t think I&#8217;ve ever seen a Streep movie, and this probably won&#8217;t tempt me to break that streak. I just looked at Weinstein&#8217;s Filmography and I&#8217;ve only seen three of his movies &#8211; Halloween, Sin City and Clerks II, so&#8230;.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Old Trooper sends us a link from the Washington Times in regards to a Howard Stern &hellip; <a title=\"Weinstein\/Streep to take on NRA\" class=\"hm-read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/?p=39333\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Weinstein\/Streep to take on NRA<\/span>Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[82],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-39333","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-gun-grabbing-fascists"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/39333","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=39333"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/39333\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=39333"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=39333"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=39333"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
