Bringing audiences to independent cinema in Europe via digital & social media

"It seems to me, that all we see, is violence in movies, sex on TV"... but as Roger Ebert suggests, this might have just little to do with the terrible shooting killing 12 and wounding 51 in Aurora, Colorado during the premiere of The Dark Knight Rises last week.

"That James Holmes is insane, few may doubt. Our gun laws are also insane, but many refuse to make the connection. The United States is one of few developed nations that accepts the notion of firearms in public hands. In theory, the citizenry needs to defend itself. Not a single person at the Aurora, Colo., theater shot back, but the theory will still be defended", he puts*.

In the meantime, Batman can be the villain.
