baumer Posted July 26, 2012 Share Posted July 26, 2012 I haven't read the article but please tell me that people are not afraid of going to the movies now. Because of 1 incident in 100 years of moviegoing? Come on people. Sack up and get some thicker skin. This is not the way to handle this. To me this is just another excuse for the media to blow things out of proportion and make people afraid for bullshit reasons. They did it after 9/11 and they are doing it now. They want you to be afraid of everything so you give up your rights.I'm sorry but if you have (just read the article now) been going to the movies all your life and one incident like this gives you a phobia then I feel sorry for you. What a sad way to go through life. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everyone has a different personality, so some will be more afraid than others. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get it if they were at the movie theater where it happened and they made it out alive and had reservations about going bck to the movies, but these people are using this incident as a crutch and they are buying into this media malestrom. It sickens me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kvikk Lunsj Posted July 26, 2012 Share Posted July 26, 2012 (edited) I understand why people are afraid. They are afraid of being shot. But you do have a better chance of dying in a car crash by going to theater. It will take time for people go back to theaters.

DAR Posted July 26, 2012 Share Posted July 26, 2012 (edited) If two similar theaters want to share their love, that's nobody's business but their own. Edited July 26, 2012 by DAR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was a loner and he did something that had never been done before. So why get scared of this? I just think people should be more vigilant and know that this was a one off situation.

redfirebird2008 Posted July 26, 2012 Share Posted July 26, 2012 I think what makes this problematic for some people is that going to the movie theater is a luxury, not a necessity. Some will feel it's not worth the risk when they can just wait to rent the movies currently in theaters. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

baumer Posted July 26, 2012 Share Posted July 26, 2012 There's a really cool speech by Denzel in The Seige:London, Paris, Athens, Rome, Belfast, Beirut, we're not the first city to have to deal with terrorism. In Tel Aviv, the day after they bombed the market in Tel Aviv, the market was open and it was full. This is New York city, we can take it. In other words, don't let them change your way of life.

Sensationalist fear mongering from the media is driving some of the hesitancy from people right now IMHO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That'll be a quick way to kill theater attendance even more, as if home theater kicking ass didn't already have a big enough effect. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
