    It's good that the news doesn't seem to be showering the killer in publicity.

I'm sure all of their best people are on the case, called into the office late last night to begin building a profile of our newfangled American celebrity.

    How long do you think until we get armed guards and metal detectors in theaters? Do we wait for this to happen a third time? Is that even an economically viable possibility?

This is cracking me up. Like the experience I have going to the movies isn't already dreadful. Maybe this rash of shootings will be the tipping point of the absurd business model Hollywood is desperately propping up.
