That's actually a good point, and it does not necessarily apply just to midnight shows either. If Dark Knight Rises underperforms this weekend, this could certainly be an explanation for that. It's this sort of thing that can cause theater attendance to drop temporarily. Now, as a far as midnight showings go, expect a tighter policy on masks or other face covering clothing for other big movie premiers. Yeah this pretty much is going to put an end to dressing up for midnight showings. Still, absolutely horrible that this had to happen........... It shouldn't kill dressing up for movies, but the guests will have to remove their Batman masks as they enter the ticket check. Most businesses already post signage on Halloween that they don't let masked individuals in for this reason. But yeah, I am about to begin my last week with the theatre I have been working at for years, and my mind is wandering and thinking about what would happen if I was on duty for this sort of thing.

I am honestly so so sad right now. The thing is that I want to help or at least I have the feeling that I want to help but I can't. I should probably turn this off

Quite pathetic that you can't do anything anymore without this bullshit happening.

Wow this is unbelievable. What could this man's motives be? I won't go into politics but it is sad that he will probably claim insanity and not get what he deserves. I mean to shoot at small children is horrifying.

For some reason, as tragic as this has been, it makes me feel safer going to see TDKR tomorrow, as I think security measures will be put in place, and this seems like a one off mad incident. Just to think that of all the cinemas, it had to be that one. Imagine what people in nearby cinemas must be feeling like.

NBC News say that 2 federal officials say suspect in Colorado movie theater mass shooting is James Holmes, born December 13, 1987. They said he has Tennessee tags on his car but believe he lived locally. He had a traffic ticket last year, they are saying. Did they announce the county of the TN tags?They are now saying Colorado plates.

Apparently hospital reports are saying the youngest patient from the shooting was 3 months old.
Just disgusting.

Horrific news.
I'm not trying to be judgmental here but what was a 3 month old baby doing at a midnight showing of The Dark Knight Rises?
