AniNate Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 Why? The death penalty is the easy way out. His punishment must be more severe. Having to live a lifetime in prison with no freedom and a guilty conscious is the harder way. When his life has passed him by and he has rotted away mentally and physically in a cell he has my permission to die.On the other hand, what you might call his life is supported by taxpayer money. I think that's really what the debate comes down to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eldenfirefly Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 Terrible thing to happen. My condolences to the victim's families. I hope they don't let the killer off just by claiming insanity or some stupid thing like that. I still think TDKR will do huge numbers for the weekend. The anticipation I have seen building up to this has been quite palpable.Most people wouldn't let this change their mind from seeing the movie. Some small percentage might, but those who want to see it, will not let this mass killing stop them. They will just reason that this happens only in that place, and it doesn't happen in where ever they are staying. So they will still go.I don't think it will depress TDKR's OW that much. Just my 2 cents. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People who do this sort of thing have given up on their life and a lot of them either commit suicide or die in a gun battle. Death penalty is an easy way out for scum like these.

MovieMan89 Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 (edited) BB isn't a bit funny, its IMO far more stern than TDK, that has The Joker being crazy and stuff.TDKR wasn't a bit funny to me either. I can think of only two truly funny lines that the audience laughed at. Begins at least had Alfred and Fox's humor. TDKR doesn't even have that as Alfred is far more serious in this than the others and in it less and Fox is barely in it at all.

Eraserhead Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 I disagree about it being very funny, especially the funniest of the three. Saw the trilogy and it got the least laughs of the three by far. I mean c'mon, Joker alone had a bazillion more laughs than anything in this. Yeah, that was more like dark comedy though. This had a lot more standard humor in it. If I factor in The Joker, then maybe I'd have to give TDK the edge. Super close though... and it was definitely way funnier than BB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AniNate Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 BB had a couple good jokes. "Damn good television" and "Sacrificed sure footing for a killing strike" stand out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which makes his actions even more bizarre to me because he could have been going places and saving lives but instead he does this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tawasal Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 If Nolan's batman movies were even tad bit funny, we would have gotten 250m for BB and 578m for TDK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kitik Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 $30.6M is a huge and fantastic number for midnight. I hope no one is disappointed with that number.That said, TDKR needed a far bigger number than that if people really wanted it to hit $100M on opening day. It won't do that, and it won't break Avengers OW record either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tawasal Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 Maybe he thought he would find BKB in there, who knows. Jokes aside I am scared like hell there will be one over at our theatre. And last 75m+ is done deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
