I know it shits me when people talk, or munch food loudly during movies, but this is really taking things to extremes.
James Joseph Cialella Jr, 29, was charged with attempted murder, aggravated assault and weapons violations for shooting another film goer in the left arm. Cialella was furious for being disturbed while watching The Curious Case of Benjamin Button. He had asked the family to quieten down, then threw popcorn at the boy, which escalated into a physical argument with the father, during which Cialella pulled out a handgun (this being America where it is the done thing to carry a gun to the movies) and shot the father in the arm.
He then sat down and continued to watch the movie.

Um. Wow. That Cialella then went back to watching the film makes this piece of news surreal. Unbelievable. Remind me never to watch a movie in a Philly movie theatre!
No movie is THAT good. Being the cynic that I am,it would not surprise me in the least if some bright(?)spark used that case as an advert for the latest whizz-bang DVD player.
I want to see every theatre usher issued with a hand-gun.
Then let’s see the smarty-pants emo teens try to do their “it’s all about ME” chatter crap in the cinema!! *insert evil laugh here*
A gun is a bit extreme, but I believe this guy had a point. I wouldn’t mind having armed ushers in the cinema, as long as they were armed with dart guns, and the darts tipped in something toxic that would make those hit sick for a week.Nothing life threatening but it should be unpleasant enough for them to NEVER talk during the movies again.
when i was younger, there was a warning to women with long hair at a particular movie theater. apparently, there was a man who was cutting off ponytails while the innocent lady was watching a movie!! isn’t it unbelievable how sick people are!!
