    Default Too far?

    So I just watch a blurb by Entertainment Tonight (emailed from a friend) about the new Sean Penn, Ryan Gosling and Josh Brolin film "Gangster Squad" about the mafia in LA in the 40's and 50's (gangster style flick, hence the name) and in the film there is a scene where the bad guys (?) shoot up a movie theater with Thompson SMGs. Well in light of the Aurora Shooting the studio is talking about removing that scene all together. I, personally, think this is just taking things too far.

    One more step too far, I now can't view the original trailer with that scene in it in this country- on YouTube it's been removed... but I was able to find it here:
    http://www.cinemablend.com/new/First...ine-30861.html

    Thoughts on this?

    Absolutely nothing. I started a thread about some of your post, i was impressed you were not drifting around worrying about useless shit. SO i figured it was time to break your balls.
    Today's the day, you're it.

    Still haven't had a response to shit canning that liberal co-worker. Once an anti-gun starts rambling and she will have you and your dad at each others throat.

    No, we aren't going to fire her (politics ya know, and it's hard to find good workers these days). She called in sick today, so with the boss out at meetings and her gone I'm by my lonesome with no liberal anti-gun BS going down... but she wasn't really having us at our throats per se... but I do see where you are coming from. My dad is usually pretty good about being conservative but appearing politically neutral (I'm working on that too)... can't loose business because people don't like the right side of the field.

    Watched the trailer and it looks really good!

    I don't think they need to remove the seen, but I'm not a sensitive liberal girly man, so my opinion doesn't really matter.
