Man Shot During Film

Shhh!

For talking too loudly.

So this is what happens when moviegoers don’t heed the pre-feature advice to silence cell phones and pipe down. A man became so angry with the talkative family sitting in front of him that he shot the father in the arm during a screening, reports CNN. James Joseph Cialella reportedly told the group watching The Curious Case of Benjamin Button to stop talking, then threw popcorn at the son, walked into the aisle, and shot the father with a .380-caliber handgun that was clipped inside his sweatpants (how classy). The victim was taken to a Philadelphia hospital with a gunshot wound to his arm and Cialella was charged with attempted murder, aggravated assault and weapons violations. Someone takes his short story adaptations very, very seriously.
