Jesus Take the Wheel: Man Shot For Talking at the Movies

It looks like Netflix and On Demand movie orders will be skyrocketing:

A man angry that a family was talking during a movie threw popcorn at the son and then shot the father in the arm, according to police in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

James Joseph Cialella, 29, was charged with attempted murder, aggravated assault and weapons violations, a police report said.

Cialella told the family sitting in front of him in the theater on Christmas Day to be quiet, police said.

An argument ensued while others at the Riverview Movie Theatre watched “The Curious Case of Benjamin Button,” starring Brad Pitt and Cate Blanchett, The Philadelphia Inquirer reported.

Cialella then approached the family from the left side of the aisle and shot the father, who was not identified, as he was standing between Cialella and his family, according to the police report.

The victim was taken to Jefferson Hospital with a gunshot wound to his left arm, police said.

Cialella was carrying a Kel-Tec .380-caliber handgun clipped inside his sweatpants, police said. He was arrested and taken into custody.

Foolish stuff like ignoring people, switching seats, or just asking for a refund are things of the past. Why, ya’ll? That’s it, Jesus, we’re pulling over at the next exit, and you’re taking the wheel.

I go to the movies in harlem… 125th street.

I often feel like shooting people who yell at the screen, bring their babies, talk on cellphones or eat stank ***** fast food in there.

hats off to this dude for acting on it.

Is that right

This is so tragic, people are going crazier everyday. Sometimes you want to throwing something at idiots who either talk too loud or decided to check their phones distrcting people with the light, but that was deranged.

He is obviously a lunatic. I hope they lock him up for good; he is a danger to society.

Ha

12/27/08, 17:54:pm

He’s a lunatic who acted murderously on what many people feel – the movies aren’t your damn living room.

Respect that people paid their hard earned money to watch and listen to a movie, and not to listen to you.

I definitely don’t condone murderng someone who won’t be quiet at the movies, but I can understand his frustrations. About a year ago I was almost arrested for dumping a bucket of popcorn over a lady’s head because I turned around and shh’d her kid and she stuck her head between the seats and asked me what MY problem was. PEOPLE NEED TO SHUT THE F UP AT THE MOVIES!! I don’t pay $10-$15 to hear anybody talk whose name is not in the credits.

By the way…did y’all know that dumping popcorn on somebody is considered *****ault? I had to find that out the hard way.

…@ Sepia 830 ….ppl do need to shut the ***** up but I wont be shooting hollow tips at the fools…..lol.. and your story is funny ….I wish I would have seen it…..be good Sepia 830 dont be making popcorn hats on ppl…lol

He definitely should not of shot the guy, but I don’t really blame him for being frustrated. I’ve beat someones ***** before in the movies for being loud and not shutting up after I told them too. No need for the gun though, that was unprofessional.

Firstly..I’ll say he was crazy. BUT! I know how he feels a little bit. I hate paying $9 then $15 for snacks and then having to sit near a loud mouth family. Talking as if they’re watching the DVD at home. Holding a conversation that has nothing to do with the movie even. Sometimes I feel like popping a cap myself.

Unless you are a gang banger or mobster, who the hell goes to the movies with a gun????

that is some hood sh*t!

personally, i only go to the movies during the week, the first show of the day (usually at noon). no one is there. i don’t have to sit next to anyone. it’s just me the movie and maybe 2 or 3 other people.

other than that , i don’t go.

and since i work, i’m not able to go to the movies under those conditions, so i rarely see anything.

but there isn’t much out that i want to see anyways.

and i’m all for wanting to tell someone the shut the f*c up, but to shoot them????

seeing a Brad Pitt movie ain’t that deep.

but i wonder. this particular movie seems to have a certain level of depth….look at the guy who shot the man. he doesn’t look like the type of person who would ‘get’ that kind of movie.

maybe he was already frustrated because they used big words and then he heard that family yakkin’ and he got *****ed and just went off.

you know the father is going to be able to sue the theater AND his family can get emotional distress monies too.

Personally,
I HATEE people talking in movies. It’s annoying as *****. I paid my money to hear the ACTORS not the PATRONS! I’ve told people to shut up but I wouldnt go so far as to shooting them.

@ Brooklyns Own
maybe the movie was that good LMAO

12/27/08, 21:33:pm

The man was wrong for shooting someone in a theater. He was completely out of line and should be punished accordingly….with that being said I ain’t sayin he was right but I certainly understand.

This is why i wait for the dvd. The window of release from the theater to dvd is on average, is 3 to 4 months. I can wait.

Wow! Its astonishing how some of you are saying, you understand this mans frustration, which led to a man being shot, his son having popcorn thrown at him, and his son seeing his father being shot.
I hate when people talk at the movies too but there is other alternatives that can be taken.

If you don’t like the movie environment, then wait until it comes out on DVD because no matter where you go people are going to be rude or have kids. You don’t belong around other people if you can’t manage your reactions/emotions.

This man could have lost his life………… Do that mean anything to you?

Makes you wonder how ignorant it’s gonna get when the Notorious movie hits theatres. You know people are gonna be loud in there or using their cell phones. Somebody’s going to lose it. Reasons why I don’t go to theatres, I’ll wait for the DVD to come out.

O, somebody had to go and mention ‘Notorious.’ Now you KNOW you ain’t lying. Them Black folks are gonna be rough-housin’ like they’re at a cookout. Hell, nah. I’d like to see it too but I’m waiting for the dvd. It’s bad enough I went to see a Sneak Preview of ‘Valkerie’ a couple weeks ago and my nostrils were stuffed up the whole time by the guy next to me who had pits smellin’ like a 12-foot long Italian sub. Nasty!

Now you ALL know that at one point or another you’ve thought about hurting somebody for not knowing how to act at the movies and ruining the whole experience for you (I know I have).

I know he’s wrong for acting on his impulse but I’d bet that they (the ‘victims’) were being cheeky when asked nicely at 1st to be quiet. My Grandmother(RIP) always said… “Who don’t hear will feel.”

12/28/08, 22:07:pm

I think I may have caught her doing her circuit tour to promote ‘The Pursuit of Happyness’ but I don’t recall her saying anything risque. I like her enough but I haven’t seen her do anything that’s as captivating as her role in ‘Beloved.’ That’s the first time I started paying attention to her and Kimberly Elise.

@AWWWWWWWWWWSHADDUUUUUUUP!!!!!

Yes Thandie did an excellent job in ‘Beloved’ but she was even more remarkable in ‘Besieged’. Have you ever seen her in ‘Flirting’ with Nicole Kidman and Naomi Watts when they were really young? Check them out if you can.

To whom ever said that “they (white people) are upset about layoffs and a black president” That is sooooo freaken true. These dumb@ss crackas are showing their true colors for real. So I think it would be best to not get in a arguement with those *****f*ckas.
