I meant stuff like why now (and not 6 months ago), why he is sorta echoing the stuff the NRA and buddies were throwing out after Sandy Hook (violent games and movies are the problem, not our precious innocent guns), or even what his lack of "support" is gonna be.

Because the movie is about to come out and it has
Spoiler, click to toggle visibilty
and Carrey is a big gun control supporter, also a big christian and his effort since then on gun control would be called in question the moment he was pictured
Spoiler, click to toggle visibilty

so he is pushing in his christ chips and cashing out before shit hits the fan. His long term plans probably include politics.

My question is why isnt he giving away all the money he made out of the movie to charity if he has such a huge moral hangup on a movie he fullheartedly supported.

He could've easily "withdrawn his support" right after Sandy Hook happened, he saw the script over a year ago and filming had almost certainly wrapped by then, the fact that he's doing it now seems a bit fishy to me.

And the violence didn't hit intellectually until he saw that final cut? Yeah, I guess that makes sense...

The whole thing still feels weird to me, though.

(last week's Fast and Furious parody is an example of something I didn't give a shit about, for one, so it didn't feel too funny to me).
I've never seen any of the Fast and Furious movies, but I thought it was pretty decently funny (mostly the girl going on and on about the unspoken verbal abuse she suffered). I would've said the episode was a kinda stinker but then BAM suddenly Flatland parody and it really redeemed the episode, IMO.
Yeah, the gags were still decent, although the unspoken verbal abuse girl is exactly the kind of reference I didn't care for (I'm guessing it was a reference given how many times they repeated it). 2D world was an okay idea (I had no idea it was a parody of something), although not much more than that : there was nothing much going for it other that "they're in a 2D world, okay".

I meant stuff like why now (and not 6 months ago), why he is sorta echoing the stuff the NRA and buddies were throwing out after Sandy Hook (violent games and movies are the problem, not our precious innocent guns), or even what his lack of "support" is gonna be.
Oh, I didn't think Carrey was specifically echoing the NRA against violent movies in defense of guns. It's just violence in general that he's sick of.

he saw the script over a year ago and filming had almost certainly wrapped by then, the fact that he's doing it now seems a bit fishy to me.
He said he'd finished filming a month before it happened, yeah, but given he said "I can't support this film", what I understand by "support" is that he doesn't want to participate in promotional events and interviews and whatnot, which should be around the corner as the release comes close. It's the right timing IMO if that's correct. No one would have cared if he'd said it several months before it even started.
If I struggled to the end of my determination, to the end of my way of life with my followers, if the result is ruin, then this ruin is inevitable. Grieve. Shed tears. But you cannot regret.

2D world was an okay idea (I had no idea it was a parody of something), although not much more than that : there was nothing much going for it other that "they're in a 2D world, okay".
It seemed very old-school Futurama to me, in that it took a cool sci-fi concept and explored it.

Oh, okay. Well there wasn't a shooting in a school in the first movie. It was brutal, it had a little girl savagely murder people with knives and handguns, but it didn't have machine guns in a school.
(... Yeah, I do get what you mean.)

Origins was done by Fox. Sony is the studio that did the Spider Man movies.
