Let's just hope he picked an appropriate time in the movie to cap his ass...like when the tugboat runs into WW2 enemy fire.
Oh, I'm going to hell.The New Orleans Saints are your 2009 NFL champions.

What an idiot. I suspect he had a few emotional problens to actually shoot someone for talking in a movie.
Hopefully the victims will fully recover.Comment

I'm not surprised this happened, and frankly, I'm more surprised that it doesn't happen MORE OFTEN! There are WAY too many people that don't know how to behave appropriately in a movie theater. From leaving their cell phone ringer on and ANSWERING THE PHONE DURING THE MOVIE and having a conversation, to bringing young children that will NEVER be able to sit through a movie without causing a scene, to having LOUD conversations in the middle of the movie, there are a LOT of people that are LUCKY they haven't been shot!
In fact, if I could be ANY comic book superhero, I'd choose to be the Incredible Hulk, just so I could give those asshats their just desserts when they act up in a movie I'm watching!
I can picture it now... "Film-goer thrown through movie screen by not so jolly green giant, film at 11!"

I have always had the fear of being shot in a movie theatre...seriously never thought it would happen, but holy hell. Now I know Im not crazy.
The victims' kids must be traumatized. I can imagine them never going to the movies again. OR having to have therapy immediately afterwards.Comment

I'll bet the guy who got shot never talks during a movie again...Knowledge is power. Power corrupts. Study hard. Be evil.

If nothing, I think we may have an ungrounded fear here.

While some people are rude in a theatre, I have never heard of any reason why someone should be SHOT over it.
I admit I am a movie talker with my best friend. However, in our defense, we always go in the middle of the day, weeks after the movie is out, and sit way away from everyone else (usually there's less than 20 people in the theatre), so in the end, we're not disturbing anyone anyway.Comment

has a somewhat better reporting of the event, I think. It seems that the father stood up to confront Cialella and then things got physical before he was shot in the arm.
Not saying it was justified or anything, but it wasn't just a case of "Stop talking!"*bang*FloodComment
