I sympathize with the shooter. i was in a movie a while back with my wife. In front of me sits this 300 lb blob of a guy. About every 10 minutes, he lifts one cheek off the seat and releases the most noxious silent fart I have ever experienced.This was eye watering gas. The movie was a sell out so there was nowhere to go. Everyone in the vicinity is squirming, sleeves are going over noses and people are looking around trying to figure out who it is.

Finally, I tap the guy on the shoulder and say ” Hey, why don’t you go drop the load before you kill us all”

My wife about crawled under her seat. There was a pause of a few seconds and people around me start to clap. The guy says “fuck you” and aubibly farts again. My wife insists on leaving and I have to wait a month or two to see if Jason Bourne makes it out alive.

If it went down like this i expect an apology from the AP for besmirching our good name.

———- unsubstantiated quote ———————–

I know people that were IN THE THEATRE when this happened
and it went down different than reported in the papers…

Dude asks father and son to shut up.
Father starts talking shit.
Son throws shit at dude.
Dude gets up.
Father and son attacked the dude (some other people got in on it too)
Dude is getting pumelled, people are screaming and leaving the theatre
(although I saw a mugshot – and he didnt take much to the face)
Dude pulls a gun and shoots dad.
Fight stops.
Dude sits down and says

“it was self defense..Im not wrong.” and finishes watching movie.

I generally grab movies at the Riverview on Sundays with little to know complaints.

There was this one time I caught Miami Vice, just me and a family sitting behind me. They were chattering, but nothing too bothersome. In fact, that scene in the final overchoreographed shootout where Tubbs comes out of a somersault and blasts a shotgun he pulled out of nowhere, someone chiming “That Jaime Foxx, he ain’t playin!” was pretty spot on punctuation.*

Still, people chattering and people shooting at _The Curious Case of Benjamen Buttons_? If that’s going down during that snoozer, I gotta see what the _Twilight_ crowd is up to.

Punishment for both participants in this incident should be having to sit through _Repo: The Genetic Opera_ with its traveling sing along die hard fanbase. Boy, did that suck.

When I heard “Riverview” and “shooting” in the same news report, the only thing that came to mind was “justified.

The only time you can watch a movie in complete silence at the Riverview is either at 11:00 on a Sunday night or during the day while all the bratz are in school.

he takes Pitt’s words to heart…

“I have a hard time with morals. All I know is what feels right, what’s more important to me is being honest about who you are. Morals I get a little hung up on”…

Some time it just feels right to shoot a bitch.

Let’s be honest…who has gone to a movie at the Riverview and NOT considered shooting someone?
