Have you seen the movie..?
Because it is one of the greatest movies ever made
When directors rate their favorites it's always on their list

Of course not, never heard of it. The only "duel" movie I know is that POS that Spielberg movie from the 70's with Dennis Weaver.

I can only assume you'd post a great scene from it, and if that's it, I will pass.

The Duel was a shitty movie. The one with the car and truck. SHITTY, and I really enjoy those movies.

I don't have a clue about that other Duel movie.

Kubrick makes "technically" good to great movies. Some are more entertaining than others.

The U.S. media worked hard in the immediate days after this horrible shooting to try and shame American gun owners into accepting the New Zealand solution in this country...

The NZ Prime Minister almost immediately moved to ban just about any semi-auto rifle in existence, calling them “military-grade”...

Well, so far, in a country with 1.2 million registered rifles...37 have been turned in...

I think freedom-loving Kiwis are speaking with their actions...or lack there of...

The majority of US media isn’t journalism. They are mostly just the ministry of propaganda for the left now.

I think that has been fairly well established over the last few days

There’s a poster here who will chime in about many of these outlets are OK- that they aren’t 100% in the tank because they sometimes publish facts

Not surprising...gangs in New Zealand say no to turning in their weapons...
Gang members will not be handing in their guns following the law reform announced by Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern, a Mongrel Mob leader has said.

Sonny Fatu, president of the Waikato branch of the Mongrel Mob, said that, while some members of the gang may have illegal guns, they will not be handing them in as they are necessary to their protection.

"Will gangs get rid of their weapons? No. Because of who we are, we can't guarantee our own safety," he told Stuff.

He admitted many of the gang's estimated 1000 associates hold illegal firearms but says they should be trusted not to harm innocent people.
