For a chance at the props, post a tweet on twitter to discuss the topic, “Vigilante Movies – Good, Bad, Right, Wrong,” whatever that means to you, per previous instructions. We don’t know what criteria the Honorable Judge Reedus will use to pick his favorites. He probably won’t know that himself until he sees the entries.

All entries must be submitted http://twitter.com/actionchick. Listed below are some lengthier entries, the links to which were submitted via tweet. Maybe Norman will be impressed by the enthusiasm shown, thereby giving these an edge, or maybe he’ll feel the entries should have been contained entirely within the tweets. Since we don’t and right now neither does he, don’t worry about it! Just have fun with this.

Post: Vigilantism: Good or Bad; Right or Wrong
by Kayla Warkel (@kaylawarkel): “…”How often do revenge and vigilantism cross paths? Too often, in the movies people are almost always forced into taking the law into their own hands because of something that happened to them.

Post: Vigilante, Good, Bad, Right, Wrong
by Faith McKiernan (@Veritasfaith): “Cold, hard grasp of reality hits you in a sense of cool, ice laden rushing wind. It could be a flicker, a sigh, or a nice lucrative smack in the face. It could be a mere piece of paper, or a word, or some unspoken dialogue. For some, in the unfortunate circumstance, it could mean right there, staring you right in the face…” (cont.)

Post: as for vigilante movies
by Yana (@nomorecoke): “…Concerning V-movies’ being “right” or “wrong”: guess, it’s not movies / books / songs / pictures that drive people mad since the way each person interprets a movie or a book depends only upon his/her personal twists…” (see more)
