At just about the exact time I was writing yesterday's post about how often a cinema audience will ruin a movie for me, some guy in Philadelphia shot somebody for talking in a movie theatre. Here's the story.

Nobody died. The shooter "returned to his seat and continued watching the movie" while everybody else ran away.

One time my friend Dan and I were watching a movie at Anthology Film Archives. The place was almost deserted yet this couple came and sat directly in front of us and talked through the whole movie. Dan asked them to be quiet and they threatened to assault us after the movie was over — after the movie was over!

That's the part I don't get. They weren't watching it in the first place. Why didn't they just beat us up right then and there?
