Yeah, definitely an overreaction Shark.
Elephant got made just a few years after Columbine, which fricking blew even my mind. Not to mention United 93 just a few years after 9/11, which is still one of the most amazingly moving films ever made IMO.
Money is what drives the industry, so if anything is going to hurt creativity it will be the motivation to make more cash grabs.
The saving grace is that so many of these mindless popcorn flicks that used to be money grabs are so prohibitively expensive that the studios are forced to continue to allow brave and smart creators work on them to make them worth it and have cinematic value or viewers just won't show up in enough numbers to justify the expense.
Nolan's Batman, Avengers, Hunger Games, Potter, all the record breaking movies have legit content and creative value.

for a start, they're editing the gangster squad theater shoot-out scene. for obvious reasons, though
