"This willing dissociation of response from violent spectacle has a
downside, as many people have said: we become inured to actual
violence when it excites us on; we forget that that there’s pain and
death, we become connoisseurs of spectacle. This kind of
connoisseurship showed up in the response to 9/11, which many people,
with obvious relish as well as awe, said resembled a movie, a remark
that left anyone with half a brain feeling queasy, if not furious." —
David Denby, The New Yorker


He (and many others) go there:  "Blame the movie, not the guns/killer."
