rainbowtrout Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 Fucking nutjob. I'm thinking about going to the film strapped on Saturday.My friend has a concealed carry permit and is thinking of bringing her gun this afternoon to the show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mango Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 Wow that that shooting is something completely unexpected. It makes me feel so sad, the excitement of the people who were just hoping to watch a movie they had likely anticipating for a long time, and likely how happy they were before this sadistic asshole decided to do this. My deepest condolences and prayers to the victims, their families, and the theater employees.And that girl that Baumer talked about that was just involved in another shooting, was she ever actually confirmed dead? I hope not Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chewy Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 Everyone's going to spin this to suit their agenda, and focus on the useless fuckface instead of his victims. It's how the media works Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olive Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 Insiders at Warners say the shooting was an isolated incident and that Dark Knight Rises is doing strong matinee business after earning as much as $30 million -- if not more -- in midnight runs. http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/dark-knight-rises-shooting-box-office-352453 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FTF Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 Apparently when they described the massacre to this piece of shit's mother, her first response was "You've got the right guy"Things like this infuriate me...terrible parents turning a blind eye about their children till it's too late to do something, etc. Yeah, being a parent is hard, etc. and I know he was 24 and not a kid, but lack of parenting is so, so frustrating.

I mean, parenting can only go so far.Alfred's monologue in The Dark Knight is sadly appropriate here.

blackspider Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 Have to say, I'm slightly disappointed by that number. From what my theater did and all the sellout reports some of the posters did here, it seemed like this was going to be at worst the #2 midnight performer of all-time. I guess it could still hit 30m but anything less than 33m probably means Eclipse sold more tickets.I'm hoping this can have a great Friday though. The effect of the shooting may or may not be overplayed. We'll see. Horrible stuff happens everyday, a lot of people like to stay in their own bubble with this kind of stuff.

I mean, parenting can only go so far.Alfred's monologue in The Dark Knight is sadly appropriate here.I don't, and I don't think he lived at home anymore, and maybe the parents had him in therapy etc as a kid/adolescent, but that reaction by the mother bothers me.

AniNate Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 If they're really beefing up security I doubt you'd be able to get a gun in now anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
