RockyRaccoon Posted February 21, 2011 Report Share Posted February 21, 2011 Man shot dead in Latvian cinema for eating popcorn too loudly Latest incidence of cinema rage occurred during a screening of Black Swan in Riga A man has been shot dead at a cinema in Latvia after a fellow movie-goer objected to the volume at which he was eating his popcorn. The assailant, 27, reportedly had a brief argument with the man, aged 43, who was sitting next to him during a screening of Black Swan in the Forum cinema, one of the largest in the city of Riga. When the credits rolled, the younger man pulled out a legally registered firearm and shot the other man dead. Other audience members then phoned for the police and an ambulance. The younger man – a graduate of the police academy who holds a doctorate in law from the University of Latvia – waited to be arrested. The most recent incident of cinema rage in the UK was in 2009, when a teenager threw bleach over a woman who tried to quieten a group of youths during a screening of Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince in Leeds.

MindCrime Posted February 22, 2011 Report Share Posted February 22, 2011 I sometimes visualize myself doing the same thing when people do their annoying bad habits, but to actually perform the action instead of taking time out for a breather and then throw your whole life away is just moronic. There's a reason why I don't keep my gun loaded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steel2Velvet Posted February 23, 2011 Report Share Posted February 23, 2011 Did he ever think to get up and move to another seat? What is this world coming to? Those are the kinds of questions that really tick me off!!! Got any gum? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shawna Posted February 23, 2011 Report Share Posted February 23, 2011 I recently had a woman with a really annoying habit sit next to me at a sold-out show (although it was no assigned seating, there was no chance of moving). I had chosen my seat and was already there when she plunked down right next to me and began humming tunelessly. The show was a musical, so I hoped that once it began the music would drown her out. Nope. She got louder. It seemed to only happen when she exhaled, however, so as mad as I was and wanting to say something to her, I restrained myself thinking that maybe she had some medical condition where she couldn't breathe right unless the air went through her vocal chords or some lame nonsense. So I just tried to ignore her as much as I could. And slowly burned into a cinder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RockyRaccoon Posted February 24, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 24, 2011 I would've just whipped out my gun and shot her. I'm always packing heat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jenny Posted February 25, 2011 Report Share Posted February 25, 2011 My daughter's dance academy had parents watch week, so I got to sit in on her ballet class. Well, there weren't many chairs so I was trapped next to a baby and a woman chewing gum like a cow. Yes, it was annoying, but would I shoot them? No, I had to grin and bear it, but if I could have moved, I would have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miamisammy29 Posted February 25, 2011 Report Share Posted February 25, 2011 Of course you can't shoot them during a dance recital! You should've stabbed them. It's much quieter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
