“multiple shootings across the country during the premire showings.", right?

I mostly agree with you... Except for the part where they took advantage of homeless people for their silly phone stuff.

Still doesn’t make sense.

Except FB will cave...

Enforcing that is pretty easy.

If you disagree wit Iran/North Korea you can stop doing business with Iran/NK.

Was about to post that.

Maybe just realize the US didn’t “build nation" that much in either Japan or Germany. Sure they got a lot of material help but from an institutional pov they mostly rebuilt themselves.

And suddenly “*the rise* of the Skywalker” has a whole different meaning:

And then you could transfer the liability to the people who told you it was safe.

I assume this wouldn't work so well in heavy rain...

Based on that still I'd say it's a bold move to entrust Joel Schumacher to direct another Batman movie.

Yeah maybe if a f***ing comic book movie is enough (***allegedly***) trigger mass shooting all around the country... Maybe you should start looking into how f**cked-up that country.

“the LAPD made a statement to Deadline assuring moviegoers that they don’t foresee threats to L.A. movie theaters during Joker’s opening weekend.(...) Sources from the FBI and Homeland Security also do not see any threats the weekend of October 4.”

I know right, these are such masterpieces, anyone who disagrees has to be a dangerous psychopath.

At this point io9 is hoping so hard something bad will happen.

“Cyberbunker has also claimed that one of its facilities, a Cold War-era nuclear bunker, was raided by a Dutch SWAT team that was totally unable to get past the blast doors. (This story appears to be apocryphal.)“

“the LAPD made a statement to Deadline assuring moviegoers that they don’t foresee threats to L.A. movie theaters during Joker’s opening weekend.(...) Sources from the FBI and Homeland Security also do not see any threats the weekend of October 4.”

Well to be clear, many actors/directors/and other movie professionals have worked as hired-guns on mediocre movies to make cash and build resume before they could do what they really wanted to do.
