Sauce I can commend him for doing this, but I hope it's more than lip service, that the money he earned/earns from this "promotion of violence" goes towards preventing real violence with donations to mental health groups or the like. |

He's been blowing the non-violence horn for months now, and even pissed off the NRA for it. |

Yes, it's coming out. It's in post-production, so he's not needed anyway. It's coming out in October. |

Yeah it's still coming out. Jim's just not going to promote the film (he also doesn't sound like he's disappointed with his work on the film either, he just doesn't want to support it from a moral stance). |

I dunno why, but I read the title as Jackass, instead of Kick Ass and was all "what, who cares about that". Also, man those kids grow up fast. I guess I can't see Carrey's stance on this and I'm glad he only decided to walk away after the movie was pretty much done. It's a fictional piece of film about costumed heroes, it does not in any way relate to real life violence. This is the same stuff people spout about violent videogames advocating violent acts. |

It's because he feels dirty, because the tragedy of Sandy Hook shook him. While I agree with you that because this is fictional, and does not promote violence in itself, it's a sensitive issue for him, and I can respect that. |

I suppose and it's fine, it's his opinion and all, but I just...don't really see how one can connect these things together. If anything, he's in a movie playing a vigilante who fights for justice. Yes, it's violent, but...bah, I just dunno anymore. |

Some people feel that the overabundance of violent media also hurts the mental stability of those already struggling with issues. |

Because his stance is totally going to change everything... lol. Imagine a world... with no violent media. That would be boring as fuck. |

I don't think he means to change anything; however, it is important for someone stand for what he or she believes un--provided it doesn't inflict harm on others. A man or woman who sells his or her morals for whatever reason is a very poor soul, if not borderline treacherous. |

Not entirely, since Kick-Ass 2 was in production before the Sandy Hook shooting. More than likely, it was mainly done when he realized what he thought he was doing.
