Spoilers With Kevin Smith | Aurora’s Dark Knight

On his Hulu’s summer movie appreciation show Spoilers, Kevin Smith usually hosts a lively, free-wheeling discussion about that weekend’s big movie with a live studio audience that had just seen the film. This week’s episode was supposed to be about The Dark Knight Rises; instead, Smith chose to spend the entire half hour talking with his audience about the deadly shooting at a midnight screening of the film in Aurora, Colo.

“This is a show about loving movies,” says Smith in the introduction. “Movies mean the world to us. This thing that happened, this shooting, it’s not only offensive to us as human beings, it’s offensive to us as movie fans.” The thoughtful, somber discussion, held on Friday night, provides a poignant snapshot of the thoughts running through many moviegoers’ heads this weekend. Check it out in its entirety below:

“The Dark Knight Rises” composer Hans Zimmer has composed a song dedicated to the Aurora, Colorado shooting victims.

Zimmer posted the track “Aurora” on his Facebook page Friday. Zimmer said he recorded the song in London in the days after the theater shooting last week. All proceeds are being donated to a fund for victims of the shooting that killed 12 people.

The 8 1/2-minute song is being sold for donations from 10 cents to $2,500.

“Aurora” is dedicated to those who lost their lives and were affected by the tragedy in Aurora, Colorado. I recorded this song in London in the days following the tragedy as a heartfelt tribute to the victims and their families. 100% of the proceeds will be donated to Aurora Victim Relief organization. The track is available on iTunes shortly and you can donate here: https://watertowermusic.moontoast.com/estore/embed/1336

Aurora Colorado

A gunman slipped into a midnight premiere of the new Batman movie “The Dark Knight Rise” through an emergency exit early Friday, tossed two hissing gas canisters and then methodically, calmly walked up the aisle firing, killing 12 people and wounding 58.

It was among the worst mass shootings in American history.

These are the pictures of the victims of that terrible tragedy that happened in Aurora, Colorado this week.

May they all rest in peace. My hope is that their families get some small comfort in knowing that people all over the world are mourning with them.

RIP

Aurora Colorado

I lived in Aurora, Colorado for three years after college, so I was devastated to hear the news this morning of the shooting that took place in a movie theatre showing “The Dark Knight Rises”.

My thoughts go out to the families and friends of the victims and to the entire Aurora community in the wake of these tragic events. Stay Strong and Love #Peace
