I'm pretty sure he was talking about the lameness of calling Morgan Freeman "More Gun Freeman", which is totally lame, especially as he's an actor that's generally stayed away from overt gun use in his career on screen.
All right, thanks. It's just that one-word posts may be confusing.
Anyway, as Morgan Freeman has avoided appearing with guns on screen, the word play "More Gun Freeman" is actually a rather good joke because of the obvious contradiction in it.

I think calling that a joke would be a stretch (or even funny to be frank). Jokes work better when they play on stereotypes or irony. For example, calling him "Morgan Free Man" would have been funnier because of the fact he's black and the history of black slavery, and lack of "freedom" that came with it - therefore not a "free man". An ironic play on words, rather than an ill-conceived, clumsy play on the sound of words.

If his name was More Gun it would be, but it's not. It's Morgan, which isn't even pronounced anything like "more gun"
More Gum Freeman = ironic because you never see him chewing gun.

Jack Nicholson's performance in "The Shining" is outstanding and in "One Cuckoo's Nest" as well. Definitely my favorite actor with Nicolas Cage as a close runner up..... i'm completely kidding about the Nicolas Cage part

"One Flew Over the Cuckoos Nest" is a good flick.
and glad you are kidding about Cage. cannot stand him, always thought him a whiny bitch since the first time I saw "Valley Girl"

Cage is a terrible actor. Like I mentioned somewhere before, maybe even on this thread, he is totally unbelievable as an alcoholic on the verge of death due to too much alcohol consumption. I really cannot understand people raving about that rle of his. If you want to see a believable portrayal of an alcoholic watch Mickey Rourke in Barfly.

Samuel L Jackson. Sometimes I wonder why they don't cast him for every role in any movie he stars in.
