No, I'm saying it should be business as usual for BOTH flicks. Things happen. People are killed by drunk drivers every weekend

Posted by: skamanfu on Jul 22, 13:49 in response to goodvibe61's post TDKR does is offensive to the public?

but you don't see everyone up in arms to cancel all the ad spends from any of hte alcohol companies.

I know the two are different sides of the spectrum, but the actions of the shooter has nothing to do with this movie even if he did claim to be "the joker". He was educated and he snapped. A chemical embalance or some misfires in his brain.

My mother was normal growing up. She hit her head and went directly into a child-like state. It took over six months to find some medication to balance her out and get her somewhat back to normal, but thankfully she it turned her into a child instead of someone who could go on a killing spree.

We don't know the trauma that sent the shooter over the edge. It could be anything...

But live life. Enjoy every single minute you're alive and don't let tragedies rule your life. There is tragedy every single day and the sensitivty here in the states is on a level not seen since the last tragedy.

Okay, my soapbox is all over the place, but as I said in the previous paragraph. Live life... don't let a "what-if" change what you may or may not do.

This is all so very frustrating. What enormous disappointment for Warner Brothers. What are they supposed to do, close up shop and go home? goodvibe61 Jul 22, 11:19

Until I see research that shows the incident drove people away, I remain skeptical {nm} Rednax Jul 22, 11:32

Even if it did AVNGR-like business, without the 3D premium it would only make ~172 OW (according to earlier posts here) {nm} Rednax Jul 22, 11:35

Second weekend performance will give a better idea. {nm} Jay_Beezy Jul 22, 11:39

that ice age dropped around 59% vs the last one 38% 2nd weekend is pretty conclusive {nm} notfabio Jul 22, 12:36

You are crazy if you're even skeptical. I guy behind me at the IMAX show on Friday night said he would have turned his ticket in if he could {nm} MiyazakiFan Jul 22, 12:40

"enormous disappointment" "living hell" Don't you think you are over reacting a bit? Arent those more appropriate terms to describe Aurora, Moviesnob Jul 22, 11:35

I've already spoken multiple times, on multiple sites, about the people in Aurora. And your point is exactly part of what I'm saying. goodvibe61 Jul 22, 11:47

I think you're wrong. It's been affected, but not broken and done. I'm reacting to your extreme reaction. Most people don't deal in extremes {nm} Moviesnob Jul 22, 11:54

Let me ask this question: For how long do we wait until we discuss any other aspect of this? When is it no longer inappropriate? goodvibe61 Jul 22, 12:06

I'm not saying we can't talk about it, lets just not over react about it and also try to be respectful about it. You are over reacting Moviesnob Jul 22, 12:13

It'll be pretty darn callous of them to market it now, won't it? I assume midnight screenings are done for the unforseen future. goodvibe61 Jul 22, 12:20
