The baby being shot was just simply wrong. That was really screwed up.
I mean come on. How can you sit there and laugh at a baby being disintegrated by a shotgun. If you're a father or a mother, I sure hope you didn't laugh at that.
shareI DID laugh at that. It was extreme fantasy to preposterous levels. I have also shared paper-thin walls with an apartment neighbor with a screaming kid and I know the feeling when you just can't get to sleep or even get into a movie because you can hear everything going on next door, from screaming kids to barking dogs, a cat in heat, a television too loud or the resonating vocalizations of a fake orgasm.
And don't think for a moment that I, as a loving father, have not had a fantasy of using duct tape on my own children.
One Roll to rule them all,
One Roll to find them,
One Roll to silence them all
and in the darkness bind them
Fantasy.
My "#3" key is broken so I'm putting one here so i can cut & paste with it.
LOL duct tape is not even remotely close to shooting them to bits with a shotgun blast.
shareOh dear. I would never shoot MY OWN children with a shotgun. I'd have to clean up the mess.

it was pretty messed up. especially since I think the mom tossed the baby in the air to protect it, thinking he was about to shoot her and didn't want the baby hit too. then he does the complete opposite she expected and shoots the baby out of the air. I was just happy it was all a dream.
shareoh yea one more thing. I bet Frank himself was a crying baby once. Just cause a baby cries doesn't mean it deserves to die. some of the greatest people in the world probably were crying babies. MOST babies cry. Basically Frank is just an egotistical psychopathic *beep*
shareWell I think that it was in the beginning to set the tone and let the viewer know what kind of experence he/she is in for the next 90 minutes. If you noticed that was the most extreme part of the whole movie really. I thought the movie was going to play it safe and he was just going to shot the mother then BAM! baby blood everywhere. I thought it was great.

I agree with this other than it was great. I thought it was way over the top and not funny at all. I wasn't offended, just didn't think it was funny. share
The skeet baby was entertaining in its own over the top subversive way.
And though I wouldnt mind driving a car through a pile of those Westboro baptist church followers with their ' GOD HATES GAYS' posters, being a sane person who follows a list of proper societal morals I simply cant be doing such activities. So I experience the actions vicariously through the imagery submitted by the moviemaking community, then I go home and do normal sane things. Watching screwed up stuff wont make a sane person insane, or desensitize them to the carnage reality sometimes tosses your way. A puppet corpse tossed at you in 3D wont make it easier to deal with a real one, with its stink of blood and decay thrown in. Shooting your friends in MEDAL OF HONOR with an XBOX pad in your hand wont make it easier to shoot your co-workers with an AR-15, UNLESS YOUR CRAZY TO BEGIN WITH. You need to start with a weak mind before this stuff can start influencing your behaviour. So shooting a shotgun at a tossed baby is not only 'simply wrong' its absolutely wrong, but a movie showing a dream sequenced skeet baby is merely twisted entertainment. There are those who will take the ball and run with it, demanding the banning of violent movies and video games, effectively stating that
BECAUSE THERE ARE PSYCHOTICS IN THE WORLD WHO MAY EMULATE SOMETHING THEY SAW IN THE MEDIA THE COMMON MAN WHO IS SANE CANNOT BE ENTERTAINED BY THE FANTASIES OF ARTISTS THAT PRODUCE SUCH MEDIA.
Next they will be back to banning the ugly guns with flash suppressors while ignoring the pretty walnut stocked guns with the exact same firepower capabilities, as though the tool is responsible for the action, not the person operating the tool. The reality is, they need to figure out how to identify the mentally ill folk who do the whackjob stuff for real, and either fix them or keep them away from doing harm to the rest of us. The Sandy Hook elementary school is a half hour from me. If you listen to the locals who knew the shooter, you will hear person after person stating that this psycho kid obviously had a screw loose. Somebody should have been working on this guy, instead his mom was teaching him to shoot, and not keeping her weapons secured! Families need to wake up and recognise their childrens potential for violence, and get help. And help needs to be easy to get.
"Pffft, my suspension of disbelief has higher standards than that"
Oh no! That mother was using the baby as a meat shield!
We've met before, haven't we?
...but the point is moot...they are both fantasy.
