The Curious Case...of Being Shot at the Movies!

Hardcore!We've all been there. Sitting beside you or around is are the worst of the worst--those people who rudely talk through the movie and generally disrupt what might have been a good time. While I'm for leaning over and telling the rudest of the rude to "shut the hell up," check out what happened in Philadelphia on Friday.
From Fox:
A family talking during a movie enraged a nearby viewer so badly that he shot the father in the arm, MyFoxPhiladelphia reports.
Philadelphia police say James Joseph Cialella Jr, 29, shot the man after a brief altercation inside the Riverview Movie Theatre.
The victim suffered a gunshot wound to his left arm.
Cialella was still inside the theater when police arrived. He was found with a black Kel-Tec .380 handgun on the front of his waist.
Police arrested and charged him with attempted murder, aggravated assault, violation of uniform firearms act, possession of an instrument of a crime, simple assault and recklessly endangering another person.
None of this is funny, so let it serve as a warning. Turn off your cell phones. Respect the audience. Come and watch the movie in silence. If you don't, you might run into a madman like Cialella. Those who think it can't happen should read the above news story again.

No one likes to be shot at.

Okay, yeah, it annoys me, too, but this does seem a bit extreme. Wonder what film they were watching.

With George W giving pardons out to many folks... This should be one in line. It's an absolute annoyance. Its a huge problem. I pay to hear the actors, the beauty of the score or the pure raw emotion of the scene, not some laughing gigling Bitch hacking at Will Smith and Rosario in Seven Pounds. Or to see a horror film where "Stuff" happens and someone brought there 6 month old baby that cries and screams when monsters attack in I AM LEGEND. To sit and hear a film that you paid for. To try to enjoy it.

Sometimes TPWF deserve to be shot.
