From a storytelling point of view, from a directing point of view, there is one thing I associate with what he does, which is calm. There is such an inherent calm and inherent trust of the one powerful image, that he makes me embarrassed with my own work, in terms of how many different shots, how many different sound effects, how many different things we’ll throw at an audience to make an impression. But with Kubrick, there is such a great trust of the one correct image to calmly explain something to audience. There can be some slowness to the editing. There’s nothing frenetic about it. It’s very simple. There’s a trust in simple storytelling and simple image making that actually takes massive confidence to try and emulate.

Tragic.

"We pop out and come into the world and music is there. We didn't invent it - it's all organised in the atmosphere by divinity or whatever. It's a miracle." - John Williams-
I think music is a stream of some kind. It could be blood. It could be water. It could be ether. Whatever it is it seems to be a living, organic force that’s in motion, that serves humanity and is part of humanity and part of what describes us as humans. We sing, play, dance, all the things that we do. And there is a vibrant and great literature we have been given. ... As musicians, we join the stream. We swim in the stream with all the other millions of music makers. It’s a life force, a strong one, surrounding us and we are part of it. -John Williams-

Tragic. Most chilling is that it sounds like premeditated from the news reports.

14 people can die quite randomly from gunfire. Meaning that you can surely shoot people in a full theater without knowing them at all. I was refering to the smoke bomb that this person had set off in the theater which makes it look even more planned.
It also makes me sick, sad and afraid when people for whatever reason take out their frustration, desperation or what ever grievance they have with the world on innocent and seemingly random bystanders. And all the more when it looks like it has been done with some level of the above mentioned premeditation.

14 killed and 50 wounded.
This kind of event makes a particular impact over here, as we just went through the horrible mass killings on Utøya here in Norway last year.
My thoughts are with all the victims and affected.

All you are left with after a thing like this is the question "Why?".
And yes my thoughts go to all the victims and their families and all affected.

There are some sick people in this world.
One radio station was openly comparing the gunman to an Occupy Wall Street weirdo more than a "terrorist."
Another station presented an interview of a man from the next theater, who described an account he heard from a girl who survived the ordeal inside the actual theater. The gunman was covered in black from head to toe, wearing a riot helmet, goggles, bulletproof vest, carrying a shotgun, walking slowly, and using smoke canisters. That speaks of a shooter with a clear, calm state of mind which definitely points to premeditation. The man directly interviewed thought that since the attacks were timed so perfectly with an action/shootout scene in the movie, that it was actually part of the movie.
Colorado has the death penalty, so long as you're not younger than 18 or have mental issues. They just haven't used it in umpteen years.

He did, at first. He thought it was cool. Expensive theater or something. Then he looked around and saw people standing at the walls, and things were coming through the walls, and people were feeling at themselves to make sure they were all there, then big holes formed in the wall. Then people started clearing out.

Ironic that what happened kind of mirrors the movie's plot (at least judging by the trailers) You know, a masked psycho terrorizing innocent civilians... I wonder if it's only by accident or it was some kind of Batman-psycho fan who lost track of what's real and what's on screen.

OH God, Joe is posting again, someone hand me my pills!
"You're not John Conner, I saw you die, said Kyle". "I was only injured, replied John". "No, your injuries were too severe, you died. Look at you, where are your injuries? You're, you're a Terminator." "Kyle, its still me, yes my body was beyond repair, but my essence is here." He points to his head. "No John". Kyle raised his pulse rifle and aimed it at John but before he could fire, John fired first. Knocked to the ground Kyle looked up at the Terminator in the form of the man he once idolized. All hope was lost. "If you kill me how will you ever be born?" "Thats a good question Kyle, all this time we've focus on Sarah, on John, when had we known the it was you we should have targeted all along." John pointed his rifle at Kyle's face. "The resistance is finished, the battle is won. We the machines are the victors, salvation is ours." Kyle never heard the second shot.
