Hollywood has officially entered its annual “guns are terrible… unless the paycheck clears” phase.
This time, the target is Julianne Moore, who recently announced at the Cannes Film Festival that she no longer wants to appear in movies featuring guns, explosions, or violence.
Which is a little like a guy leaving Taco Bell after 30 years and announcing he’s morally opposed to burritos.
According to an NSSF commentary by Matt Manda, Moore’s sudden discomfort with cinematic violence comes after decades of starring in films packed with murder, shootings, and general Hollywood chaos.
Moore told reporters: “I don’t like someone being murdered. I don’t like explosions and guns.”
That triggered immediate mockery online, including from commentator Michael Loftus, who joked: “She does realize it’s all pretend, right?”
Honestly, that was probably the cleanest shot fired all week.
Loftus kept rolling, joking that Moore had no issue with action movies “when she was making all kinds of money being in them.” And that’s really the core criticism here.

The NSSF piece argues Hollywood elites routinely profit from violent entertainment while simultaneously supporting aggressive gun control policies for everyone else.
In other words: security for me, lectures for thee.
The article also takes direct aim at Moore’s past support for gun control groups tied to Michael Bloomberg and Everytown for Gun Safety, particularly efforts targeting AR-15-style rifles.
Meanwhile, the firearms industry keeps pointing to rising gun ownership, expanding concealed carry rights after New York State Rifle & Pistol Association v. Bruen, and falling violent crime rates as evidence the gun control apocalypse predictions never materialized.
The funniest part?
Hollywood always seems shocked that regular Americans don’t take firearm advice from people who live behind gates, travel with security, and think “hardship” means the oat milk ran out in the green room.
Still, if Moore truly wants out of gun movies, that’s her call. But as Loftus joked, nobody was exactly lining up for Die Hard 17 starring Julianne Moore anyway.

Honestly, I didn’t even know she was still making movies but I checked IMDb and she is still working. I don’t think I have seen her in anything for 10 years.
Honestly, good for her if she sticks with this. Most actors don’t show that kind of integrity, selling out their beliefs.
It is easy to keep a promise not to appear in movies with firearms or bombs if you aren’t in new movies.
I’m not exactly sure why I or anyone for that matter should care if Jullianne Moore doesn’t like guns anymore and says she is refusing to be in anymore movies with guns or, people being killed. Great, I hope her chick flick and bad comedy film acting chops are still in tip top shape because she won’t be in any movies anyone cares to see.
This old skank is irrelevant, nobody is putting this old dried up hag in anything anymore.
Simply virtue signaling from an un hirable old hag, it’s just sad.
Better than Liam Neilson, who will is anti gun but most of his movies are gun centric.
Her art is strongly vaginal.
The H in “Hollywood” stands for hypocrisy. Without that you just have “Ollywood” and nobody wants to watch movies from a place called “Ollywood”.
Seriously…. WHO CARES!
No kidding, right?
When I first saw this link, my very first thought was… “Who?” lol
If the Left didn’t have double (or triple) standards, they wouldn’t have any.
There are other that I don’t watch their movies for the same reason.
I’m just not even going to read an article like this about another clueless Hollywood individual. And who the fuck cares what Julianne Moore thinks anyway?
She’s almost as bad as Liam Neeson who’s made a lot of his money making movies that revolve around guns and then to make a statement that it’s a shame about the guns we have in America? How about if we just start ignoring everything entertainers say regarding everything other than the industry of the arts? Let’s not even print or publish it as they do not deserve to get the kind of press they get. This is a group of people who pointed their fingers at the Catholic religion for allowing pedophiles to exist amongst their ranks when they’ve got so many in their own ranks that they’ve never pointed a finger at… or spoken up about.
When is the last time a chef told you how you should fix your truck?
When are celebrities going to realize 99.9% of the general public could give two-shits what they think? Especially when their “15 minutes” ran out decades ago… 🤔
Does this mean J I Dianne Moore’s dislike for guns means she will no longer have armed bodyguards for her security????
getting a bit old and saggy to be picky about what she will do!
on a different note i want one of those movie guns……i figure i can take out iran by myself with one.
Now THAT’S FUNNY !!!
