Benjamin Button Talker Drives James Cialella to Shoot

People who insist on talking in movie theatres be warned. James Joseph Cialella sent a very clear message that that sort of behaviour is heavily frowned upon when, during a Philadelphia screening of The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, he shot a man for talking during the film. In all fairness Cialella did ask the man to be quiet several times before being forced to shoot.

Shockingly, the victim, who survived the attack, was there with his son! Crazy, we know. How could anyone talk during a movie in front of their own child.

What’s even more bizarre is that after Cialella shot the man he sat back down to finish watching the movie. But who can really blame him? He was curious about the curious case.

The Curious Case of Benjamin Button is based on an F. Scott Fitzgerald short story about a man who is born elderly and grows younger with age. As of the writing of this it has a 73% rating on Rotten Tomatoes. Not quite the rating you’d expect for a film worth attempting homicide over, but still, pretty good.
