As the news came out about what had happened in Aurora on Friday, I was horrified. People going to see this film that I knew exactly how excited they'd felt about about, going to the cinema, something I associate with enjoyment and popcorn smells, and something so dreadful being done to them. The survivors who are battling to heal, those who are grieving and even the people who put so much work into a film that will now probably be tainted by association are in my mind.

And on Friday, I was finally planning to go and see The Amazing Spider-Man, which I honestly hadn't had an opportunity to do since it had come out. Watching trailers for quite a few action movies did make me flinch.

The film itself, I did enjoy (with the added awareness that I was getting to enjoy it, I suppose). ( Spoilers )

On Saturday, I rewatched Batman Begins and The Dark Knight in preparation for going to see The Dark Knight Rises last night. And I have MIXED FEELINGS. ( Spoilers )
