Critic blames Neighbors for Isla Vista shooting
By Tribute on May 27, 2014 | 4 Comments
In the Sunday edition of the Washington Post, film critic Ann Hornaday accused the new Seth Rogen comedy Neighbors and Judd Apatow for last Friday’s shooting spree in Isla Vista, California. In the article Hornaday claims the film makes teens feel shut out and isolated, like the perpetrator, Elliot Rodger. She states that because teens are not having the lives they see in movies, fueled with sex, drugs and fun, they feel lonely and isolated. She also blames men for the types of movies getting made, claiming it is just “violence, sexual conquest and macho swagger.” Both Rogen and Apatow tweeted in defense of the movie. Seth tweeted about how misinformed and insulting the article was. Judd, who was invited to debate the topic on CNN but declined, stated Hornaday only wrote the article for “clicks” to get more money from advertisers. ~Dylan Paisley

.@AnnHornaday how dare you imply that me getting girls in movies caused a lunatic to go on a rampage.

Remember everyone – ads next to articles generate money. They say something shocking and uninformed & get you to click on it to profit.

Most of Earth can’t find a mate– someone to love. People who commit murder of numerous people have mental health issues of some type.

Here is how it all works. Anne says something thoughtless. I say it is wrong then CNN asks everyone to debate and it becomes TV.

I said no. I wonder if Anne can prevent herself from going on and becoming part of how these tragic events become profit centers for media

.@LivelySkip @Sethrogen @AnnHornaday she milked tragedy and it worked for her. She should blame Groucho for kissing Thelma Todd.

Ridiculous assessment by Ann Hornaday….how about mental health issues and easy access to weapons?
Ummm, this kid has been planning this attack for years. So, how does a movie that just came out a couple of weeks ago cause it? I agree with you Kris, it is more an issue of mental health and availability of weapons.
