A young man in Portland went to a late showing of Watchmen Sunday night and, about halfway through the film, committed suicide by shooting himself in the head. A horrible tragedy, one which will be treated with the utmost delicacy and respect by the readers at KTMR.com, of course.

So sad, now he will never know how the movie ends.

Oh, never mind. Let’s get this over with-

Fourth months into Obama’s administration and there are no more people who have died in mass murder-suicides than any other President within an 8 year period. You’ll be seeing a lot more stories like this.

“You’ll be seeing a lot more stories like this. ” We can only hope so. Time to thin the herd. Social Darwinism.

Huh. This turned ugly quick. I feel bad for the kid. But really it was a crappy anti american, and anti religious movie. It tried very hard to be deep but in the end it seemed like endless complaining , with a hopelessness that really was unecessary. In my opinion of course. I like movies that promote strength instead of despair.

Generally, I’ve found that the people who didn’t like this movie weren’t smart enough to follow its storyline. (This statement is in no way a comment on the tragedy which is the subject of this news story.)

PFHarlock: “Generally, I’ve found that the people who didn’t like this movie weren’t smart enough to follow its storyline” Wow, I can’t believe you actually admit to liking that movie in public. I think I’d look for a new pool of friends too, even Stan Lee distanced himself from that movie. As far as following the storyline I guess I was distracted by the jiggling tiny blue penis or the anti-Republican, anti-human anti-woman anti-American pro-homosexual nihilist propaganda and special effects-or did you think that was part of the storyline too?

Why would Stan Lee even… wha?

I didn’t think the movie Watchmen was that bad. Now if it had been a Michael Moore movie I could understand somebody shooting them self, just to end the pain of having to sit through the whole movie..

Midwest24, stories like Watchmen are cautionary tales. They detail possible negative societal developments in order that they they can be better understood and avoided. Throughout history, cautionary tales have played an important role, George Orwell’s “1984″ being a prime example.

I want to applaud this young man. FINALLY we hear about a psycopath who actually has a set. Here lately these nut cases seem to go in and kill a dozen people before they do what they actually came to do; kill themselves. At least this kid was not a coward. He reversed the order and killed himself first. If you want to take your own life I really could care less. But please do it before you consider taking any innocent life. I promise, I will blog and chat about what a hero you are.

Okay – is there anything that isn’t some horrible discussion/riff on the film’s quality or mocking the deceased?

KMTR, so, are you going to deliver or what? you guys are coming off real semi-pro leaving this blurb out there for 9 hours instead sniffing around for the story behind the story to offer some form of UPDATE. just real semi-pro.

Internet, I hate you. All of you.
