They ARRESTED him?? They should have given him a medal and the key to the city!!!!

But seriously folks...this is one of the reasons I very rarely go to a big-screen movie complex anymore. People think they're still sitting in their own living rooms and see no reason to stop having a conversation!!

There's nothing that irks me more than people talking constantly at a movie theater. Honestly, shut up and watch the movie People are so inconsiderate of those around them and if they want to have a chatfest with friends don't go see a movie. Not saying it was right for somebody to shoot somebody but people who talk during movies tick me off

Why people think it's okay to disturb everyone else is beyond me. There are Mommy and Me showings for families.

I wish I could have shot the woman who brought the cryer to Sex and the City. wtf??

His actions were extreme, but I despise talking during a film too. I don't condone violence, though I have engaged in a heated verbal exchange once or twice.

Ahmen.

I'd like to see theaters hire snipers. Put them in the balcony and if they see someones lips move. Blast em.

Friend and I went to opening night of Freddy vs. Jason

a young couple brought in their 4 yr old and a baby in a carrier to the showing (and it was the 10 pm showing!!!)

the baby thankfully slept but the little vermin child ran up and down the aisle for over half the movie until he got tired and finally fell asleep. Everybody was pissed off..

who the hell brings a 4 year old to a movie like that and especially at that time of night???

That's called poor parenting and Child Protective Services should be waiting outside for them.

Extreme??? Nahh .. no way.. not extreme. Extreme would've been killing him. All he did was put the fear of God into him so when he goes to his next movie he will put a muzzle on himself in case he gets an urge to talk out of fear that someone else will shoot him LOL
