Kick A**

Re: Kick A**

For anybody that has seen the movie, Kick *** brings up several topics/themes that, to me, are far greater things to worry about about our society than a child actress doing her job.

Spoiler

When the grown man was choking Hit-Girl

it was quite a bit more disturbing to me than her saying a few cuss words. I was pretty uneasy about that scene.

As well as the

Spoiler

Big Daddy and Kick-*** live torture broadcast.

Re: Kick A**

I haven't seen it yet, but i'm wondering if they added the scene

Spoiler

where Hit Girl goes on a rampage after Big Daddy is killed and sniffs something which is essentially cocaine to give her an "edge"

because if you want to be all up in arms about something, be offended at that.

Was there a bunch of guys up in arms on here when Role Models came out?

I still do not see how cussing, cussing in a movie no less, is a sign of the times and degradation of American values/morals/ethics whatever. The fact that people are raising such a fuss over a couple words is probably making things worse than Chloe actually using the words.

Is it not that she cuss it is that the mom was cool with it. That in my opinion is a bad parenting skills. She wouldn't let her see Wanted, but yet she would let her daughter do a movie like wanted. Oh well. Dollars speak, that is what that is about. If my daughter was an actress she would not be doing that role at 13, but that is just my opinion. That is why it is wrong to me. But that is me and just my opinion. I know kids say words like that every day, but do they do it in front of their parents and like it is every day speech. Maybe they do. I know mine don't, but that is just my opinion again. So if a 13 year old girl is in the film, then we can take a 13 year old to see this movie? Cool! Because I am sure a 13 year old knows it is fake. So would you take your kid to go see this film, I mean it is all good they even have a 13 year old in the movie, so why can't I take my 13 year old daughter.

That wasn't in the movie.

Re: Kick A**

AH. Didn't think it would be. Even in the comic i was like WTF. Granted what came after was awesome but that was a whoa moment.

Re: Kick A**

Just came back from it and loved it. I think I'm going to have to get the graphic novel now.

I don't think there could have been anyone else to play hitgirl.

Re: Kick A**

Loved the movie, everything people have said so far is true.

Scottdau, I understand where you are coming from, but you have to understand the business. Chole Moretz and her mom made a smart decision by taking this role. It's easy to be typecast'd in Hollywood, and taking this role will allow her to do more movies than ones like 500 Days of Summer and whatnot. Is it really bad parenting when you are letting your child (assuming) live out their dream. The cursing or killing wasn't even the worst in the movie (if you go into the movie with the mindset that this would never happen in a million years). The other scenes one person mentioned in the thread got to me more than what Chole did.

After hearing this discussion I might try to catch this one next weekend or earlier.

It is all good I was just saying why I feel the way I do. But that is just my opinion. I think she did a great job on the role though.

Re: Kick A**

lol, OK, so you would let your daughter do this movie, that is cool. I have stronger morals for my kids. They can't cuss and they can't be disrespectful to their parents and they have to be respectful to others. But those are just my morals.

Whether or not I do, is besides the point.

I am guess I am tired of other people pushing their morals on everyone else and then acting as if their way is the only way.

Besides in the grand scheme of things, this is hardly the demise of America morally, as was earlier stated.

Nope, which is funny.

I can understand that. Just like you did with those kid cussing in front of your kids? It is all good, the mom was the main point that I was laughing at. She wont let her kid see a R movie, but she will let her star in one. Yeah Cha Ching! Nice Mom! I will stop though. I want to hear more about the movie. I will check this out. The one thing I like about this movie is it looks like the good guys get their *** kick a lot. Something that I always felt was missing in Super Hero movies.

Re: Kick A**

bk, I am pretty sure I have seen you bitch about individuals swearing in front of your kids. If you're willing to make a stink over such a minor issue of an F-bomb being dropped when you're out for dinner, then don't get all in a huff when others complain about kids being given the green light to run around screaming curse words by their parents...for money no less.

Yes, it is a degradation of our morals. You wouldn't think of saying "c_nt" or "f_ck" in front of your parents, let along expect them to root you on when you do so. It may just be fantasy, but you can't tell me when you were a kid such an act would be acceptable.

Lets not pretend these are words kids have never heard or don't use when not being supervised by an adult. This is hardly the moral killing event you play it out to be. Besides, who are you to decide what is morally right or wrong for all of us, as you seem to be doing.

And please show me where I made a stink about an f-bomb being dropped while out at dinner. Not to mention how is that remotely relevant to this scenario.

This kid is a professional actress getting paid to act. I guess some people just live to make something out of nothing no matter how ridiculous it is.

Demise of America's morals, give me a break. Just what we need, the moral police, so we can become one step closer to becoming a theocratic, fundamental, government.

That's her parental perrogative, and besides, let's not pretend anyone here has any clue as to her thought process or reasoning behind those decisions.

Re: Kick A**

But apparently she is allowed to watched Rated R movies. In that Washington Post interview, when asked about Let Me In and vampires she name dropped Interview With A Vampire and made it seem like it was one of her favorite movies.
