Judging A Movie By Its Poster. Judging A Book By Its Cover: Are we glorifying the American gun culture in our movies? Or is the gun culture a natural extension of what we depict in our movies?

Posters with Guns: Weekend of March 27, 2015. Man From Reno
Several movies are coming out this weekend, and to my surprise, none of them seem to have a poster featuring guns toting folks. But wait. Here's one. Man From Reno, apparently an indy film, features a gun on its poster, albeit not too prominently. A quick search, I find that this film started with a Kickstarter funding, an indy indeed.
As I look at the poster, I notice that is is an Indy movie by David Boyle, the guy who directed White On Rice, a really funny movie featuring an Asian cast, including one of my favorite leading ladies, Lynn Chen, The poster is actually quite intriguing, prominently featuring a mysterious Asian woman with a damsel in distress look. It stars Ayako Fujitani and Pepe Serna, neither of whom I know, so at least that's different from the movies that always try to cast the same-ole same-ole. I think I might check out this film at some point. In fact, I really want to check it out now.

Movie Posters with Guns: Weekend of March 13, 2015: Run All Night
Okay, this looks the same as all the posters depicting Liam Neeson playing reluctant badass. Getting stupid. I used to like Liam Neeson but beginning to lose respect for his movie choices.

Movie Posters of Characters with Guns: March 6, 2015: Bad Asses On The Bayou
Bad Ass 3. This means there is a Bad Ass 2 and a Bad Ass 1! Poster depicts unattractive people that nobody wants to see. These characters are not in a war zone. They are just regular bubba's in military fatique and wearing a fanny pack on the bayou doing something unappealing to me. Must be doing well for them to make these sequels, but I will skip it. Looks like a waste of time. I'd feel like I'm an ass if I watched this!
