The name of the movie might be telling.

If I go to a movie it usually is at a place called Shirlington in Arlington, VA. They don't have "punk" movies.

The perps undoubtedly aren't the types to take too kindly to that sort of "dissing." Even looking at them in the eye is often interpretted (by them) as a direct threat.

No concealed carry in California. A much different headline if they allowed it.

Plus, I bet people would shut up while in the theater.

I had a similar experience the other night at my daughter's 6th grade holiday concert. Some teenager was yapping on her nextel for about 3 mins during the performance & I turned around to her and in a matter of fact voice I told her she really should take her converstaion outside.... she produced the dumbest "i don't have a clue but who do you think you are " look i have ever seen. That's where it ended, but the nerve of the trollette!

Seems I have made a good decision in not going to the "movies" for over twenty years, though my reasons were for mental preservation, not physical. ;)

That is why I have my Sharp PLV-70 projector 8 foot wide by 4.5 foot tall screen) driven by a Home theater PC, 7.1 system, Kef speakers, 3000 watts of QSC amplification/digital equalization and two SVS 25-31 subs tuned to 20 hz. I have not missed the movie theater in YEARS. Haven't listened to any Cell phone calls been threatened, sat in sticky seats, and generally felt like cattle. And the sound is much better than most theaters and picture quality is almost as good.

Really, the best thing to do is go to the lobby and get the manager (not an usher). Give them a minute or two to put a stop to it. If it doesn't work, ask for your money back and let them know you won't be.

Mira Mesa has an asian gang problem as well. The local joke for years has been "Manilla Mesa". His mistake was doing the shooshing himself. Go tell management to shoosh them and if they dont demand your money back. Second mistake, Walk home? in Manilla Mesa? No way. I used to carry years ago for just this kind of reaason, but if you get caugt now with a piece it is more serious offense now.
I dont go out to movies very much anymore because of rude people anyways. I would even pay extra for a guaranteed "quiet" theater.

After doing a Google Search, my guess is "Meet the Fokkers." Here's the showtimes for that movie in the movie theater in the district mentioned:

Edwards Mira Mesa Stadium 18
10733 Westview Parkway (858) 635-7700
Showtimes: 12:55 am, 10:15 am, 11:05 am, 11:45 am, 1:45 pm, 2:30 pm, 3:40 pm, 4:30 pm, 5:15 pm, 6:45 pm, 7:20 pm, 8:00 pm, 9:30 pm, 10:10 pm, 10:40 pm

Odd. During the movie, the man asked patrons to be quiet. After the movie, the man is beaten in the parking lot. There's no description of the assailants. What would make someone think the two events are connected?

Detailed descriptions of the men were not available.

Are they ever unless they are peckerwoods? In my hometown of Jackson Mississippi they simply refuse to tell unless they have to. They even do that a bit here in Nashville.

Well, the police can eliminate half the suspects by concentrating upon Compassionate Liberals...

That's why I don't go to theaters frequented by ignorants.

This is another reason why I do not go to movie theatres on a regular basis. I always have to sit by someone who has to give their own text and commentary of the film while it is being shown.
