The Kansas City, Mo.-based company says in a statement on its website Friday that it is "terribly saddened by the random act of violence in Aurora." The shooting happened during a a midnight showing of "The Dark Knight Rises" in the Denver suburb. A suspect was arrested outside the theater. |

| #2 Expected from AMC now that it is owned by the Chinese. This shooting happened in a Century theater, though. |

| #1 Does that include headscarves and veils? Official uniforms, such as military? Particular footwear, such as combat boots or those silly flat shoes all the OWS vandals had on? Call me crass and outback, or at least too-soon, from a macro point of view, to see the entire movie industry brought to its knees and submitted by a random thoughtless event makes me cringe. Its not like the guy walked through the front door with firearms and a gas mask and the ticket-taker was like, oh nice gig-up, want to party with that dude. Ya got cameras and its proven we are a pack not a herd, no headgear in-line and through the gate. Want to dress like Adam West while waiting for popcorn, no problem, got your picture already. I mean shit, back in the dorm days people got in through the fire escapes all the time, and they had buzzers and floor runners for the intercept. The system is there. How about a shitty ass glaring light when the emergency exit is open so everytime someone sneaks out for a smoke or toke or to let someone in, the entire theatre is annoyed, or in this case alerted. |
