Not to be "that guy" but the Middle East/Islam does sort of hate freedom (ie. death to girls who what to go to school and gays!) and is more than a touch violent (ie. Death to the Jews! Death to Americans! Death to the Hindu! Death to random sub sect of Islam! Death to cartoonists who draw Muhamed! etc).

No one is saying the West has clean hands in this, but one side is clearly not on the same page as the rest of the modern world.

So I suppose we should just stand back and let ISIS slaughter thousands of innocent people? We've done that before (ex. the West being too slow to take action during the Rawandan genocide) and it was a mistake. Not only that, but do you think the West would really let ISIS set up shop and become a regional power when they clearly consider us the enemy (regardless of whether we get involved in the Middle East or not)?

I'm not saying getting involved is a good idea, but this is hardly a black and white issue.

It's weird, but the ones I'm most excited about on that list are Aquaman and Suicide Squad. The others I imagine will all be fairly standard comic book movie fare (which isn't necessarily a bad thing) but these two are the wild cards for me. Aquaman has always been represented as a lame hero, but could be awesome if done right (plus I like Mamoa) and Suicide Squad is actually a fairly unique concept, at least for this genre. Also looking forward to all the ensemble films (JL 1 and 2, BvS). Not terribly interested in Wonder women, Flash, Green Lantern, or Cyborg (seriously, how did he get his own movie?) though.

Irrational, unjust, and self-destructive? Just an FYI, we're not the ones taking pride in beheading civilians on camera and murdering our own citizens by the boat load, that's your neck of the woods buddy.

Also, this is a "damned if you do and damned if you don't" situation for the west. Either they intervene and everyone hates us for fucking around in the Middle East, or we do nothing and everyone hates us for not helping the Middle East.

My god I love James Spader. Ultron looks like he is going to be badass villain. Other than that the trailer looks like a pretty standard comic book movie trailer (which is not a bad thing). I'm also digging the bleaker tone. Overall, very excited.

And the first two movies already made roughly 2 billion dollars, and the third will probably make the total over 3 billion. So a decent investment overall. In general I can't fathom the production costs of movies anymore.

Some sources have identified the dead gunman as Michael Zehaf-Bibeau and he may have had connections to ISIS. Lookin like D was the right, if predictable, answer.

Unfortunately, probably D. It was only two days ago that another radicalized muslim Canadian struck two Canadian Armed Forces personnel with his car (killing one) before he himself was shot and killed. That attack might have motivated this/these guy(s) to step up their attack.

One thing I was always kind of proud of about Canada was that we didn't need ridiculous amounts of security to feel safe. I mean hell, you can just walk into Parliment if you want to. I guess that will change now. One of the weirder experiences Ive had is watching how over a 15 minute span, my entire class went from normal, to getting super quite as more and more people got calls/messages from friends and family.

My bad, here's a local link
