I watched some dreck called Timeline the other night (don't ask why or
how). No guns...as it takes place in the 1300s or so, but there was an
incident with a hand grenade. Battle scenes make my eyes glaze over and
I come awake only to see who is left standing. They're so taxing and
hardly ever worth the effort to actually follow. Even Lord of the Rings
taxed me with its battle scenes.

I was trying to recall any fairly recent Hollywood movie without guns in it. The only one I could think of is "Lost in Translation." Anybody know others?
Surely there must be some quasi-English department somewhere that has a course called "Blammo: firearms as rhetoric in contemporary film."
Intolerable Cruelty (I thought the Coen brothers were going somewhere with
it but it seemed to dead end It has some good lines, a fun movie.). The
Aviator is pretty good too, no violence. Likewise Sideways. Violence-free
are the only type I watch.
