First It Was the Thin Mints Melee . . .

. . . and now this.

Moviegoer killed in screening of 'Black Swan' over popcorn argument: "One man's attempt to watch 'Black Swan' in peace and quiet ended tragically this weekend when he was killed for complaining about a fellow moviegoer's noise.

The 43-year-old man was attacked in a movie theater in Latvia on Saturday when he asked a particularly loud popcorn-munching member of the audience to keep it down.

The offending eater, 27, was apparently so insulted that he opened fire with a 'legally registered' weapon, the Guardian reported."

Once again, I am led to say...

WTF is the *matter* with people??

Now one guy is dead and another one will spend the rest of his life in jail. Over POPCORN. And a MOVIE.
