They were motorcycle bombs so at least we know it wasn't IN the cinema. It's a subtle difference but an important one - they could have just as easily planted a backpack nailbomb inside or in the bins of the lobby. I'm not trying to diminish what they've done here but the Bali bombings took place inside the bars and specifically designed to kill as many as possible (they got 200 or so I think). Myself I think we're a ways off from an attack on a bar in patong for example - a different modus operandi entirely.
