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

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?

I'll tell you one thing, I don't think I'll be moving back to a city any time soon.

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.

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.

Yeah, from the other comments it already looks like they've released the asshole's name.

I like seeing some movies on the big screen. It is a bit of a funky business model though. From what I've heard the whole thing is centered around a loss leader and basically profiting on soda and popcorn. Joke's on them, I bring my own beer.

If only the media would stop giving us information and movie theaters would stop existing. There oughtta be a law.
