He Really Wanted To See That Picture

He Really Wanted To See That Picture

A man in Philadelphia wounded another man inside a movie theater after an argument about making too much noise during the film.

It makes perfect sense, because people who talk during a movie are so much louder than, say, a gunshot.

The movie that was playing during all of the commotion was The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, which stars Brad Pitt as a man who, according to my interpretation of the trailer, seems to be getting younger rather than older.  Goodness knows, a storyline like that should earn everyone’s undivided attention.  No one should dare risk missing a second of something like that.

This self-appointed movie theater avenger started by throwing popcorn at the victim’s son, and when that didn’t make them stop talking — I know, it is hard to believe that someone on the receiving end of popcorn would not respond — he stood up, approached the family, and wounded the victim in the arm, according to police reports.

One has to wonder if the other people in the theater could tell you anything that happened in the movie itself.  Although I suspect that what happened in front of the screen may well have been more exciting than what was happening on it.

Just sayin’.
