I hope he was considerate enough to have used a silencer with his pistol.

When you're at the movies watch the movie. If you want to talk, stay home and talk. Oh, and don't talk to the people on the screen, it has been proven that they can't hear you.

Personally I have no mixed emotions on this one - people talking in movies should definitely be shot...

All over a Brad Pitt movie?!?!?

Go to the movies and be caught between loud jerks and armed hotheads????

The couch, the wife, the widescreen tv... looking pretty good.

...so this is a bad time for my mst3k impersonation

It would be nice to go to a theatre and NOT hear someone screaming to their friends the entire plot of a movie.

It would also be nice if said movie also wasn't horrible

First of all, if you need to bring a gun to the movies, it is time to find a safer place to live. Second of all, ones approach in asking another movie goer to refrain from talking needs to be done as nicely as possible. If it persists, then the said talker will have a problem come the next request to shut the hell up. So, did the gunman go for the gold on the first cease and desist request? Who knows. People do need to shut up at the movies. Come on, my family of 4 will run about $50.00 after popcorn and candy are purchased. I for one do not pay $50.00 to hear others reviews of the movie as it happens. At any rate, the use of a weapon is a bit extreme. I wonder if everyone else hit the deck or clapped after the deed was done? :hmm:
