How ridiculous is society that we have to worry about a movie somehow influencing these people

If anyone watched those leak clips Robert De Niro is correct is his assessment

Where's that moderator who was in the theater for TDKR? :( IIRC he was in a different screen at the theater but still saw and heard the carnage as people fled.

Bad things just happen, and they can literally happen at any given moment. What you shouldnt do is live your life in fear over it.

Apparently because it depicts brutally realistic depictions of gore and violence, some people are afraid it's going to inspire some maniacs to do a shooting.

I thought that's what this topic was about.

Because like, why single out Joker? It's a possibility with any popular movie that comes out. It could happen at an IT Chapter 2 showing. But yet this topic is for Joker.

It's because the Joker has similarities to plenty of other people with mental illnesses & social issues that have turned into killers.

Taxi Driver is an obvious reference point (similar theme) and we've had plenty of mentally ill guys go on shooting rampages lately-- which the media love to obsess over, just keeping the cycle going.

Yeah. You could go get your haircut tomorrow and someone blows up the barbershop. Living your life in fear isn't much of a life at all

I've had a feeling of dread about this film, long before there was any footage at all. Something about it feels unsettling, like it's going to start something horrible.

Then logically I realize it's DC and there's no reason to fear garbage.

Did he say something IRL or was it something his character says about incels?

And Im assuming the word incel was not actually used, perhaps loser or loner.

Funny you say that. I started working at a theatre about a year after the Aurora (Batman) shooting. My manager one day was explaining how they had had to set up metal detectors at the front entrance for a while after that shooting.

I pointed out that the shooter in that incident had gone into the theatre first, then propped open a side door and gone to get his guns from his car in the parking lot.

My manager was like, Yeah, security is mostly illusion.

Because it's a legitimate concern in America. Copycat shooters are a thing, and the Aurora shooting was a high profile one

No. I mean it certainly isn't impossible but you are far more likely to die in a car accident on the way to the theater than be shot while inside.

Yea honestly I'm not gonna watch this in theaters for that sole reason. Even if there wasn't a shooter I think I'd be so uncomfortable watching the movie, especially after seeing those leaked scenes...

I can just imagine the theater being dead silent during those scenes... which I guess is the point? It's certainly effective, I guess
