Moviegoer stabbed with meat thermometer after telling woman to stop talking on phone during “Shutter Island”
March 10th, 2010 by Scott Marks
In a feat worthy of Joe Pesci, the boyfriend of a movie patron, irate over his best gal being told to stop yakking on her cell phone during a screening of “Shutter Island,” took matters into his own hands by stabbing the right-thinking patron in the neck with a meat thermometer.
The alleged assault occurred during a 9 pm screening last Saturday night at the Cinemark 22 in Lancaster, California. A gentleman cinephile, annoyed by an African American woman talking during the feature, asked that she finish her conversation elsewhere. She left with her two companions only to return minutes later and stab the faultfinder with the cooking instrument.
Never one to champion carrying concealed weapons, in this case I’ll gladly make an exception. It’s not that I wanted the gentleman to protect himself when the thugs came back. On the contrary, he should have shot the bitch at point blank range for daring to speak during Marty’s latest offering.
According to KTLA the victim, who was hospitalized, is expected to survive. Two other brave souls who attempted to help the victim were also injured in the altercation. The assailants escaped and are still at large. I am hoping that Lancaster’s African American community will band together and in the spirit of Fritz Lang’s “M,” track down these animals, kill them and present Marty with their heads.
Better yet, give the bastards the same treatment only this time make sure that the turkeys are done.

KPBS Film Club airs tomorrow!

KPBS Film Club producer Angela Carone actually had the gall to refer to Marty’s first narrative film in two years as “old news.”
What do I look like some type of effing moron that you say that to me?
We’ll be reviewing “Shutter Island” last on tomorrow’s show. Up until now (and the time she yelled at me for referring to all “Star Wars” fans as “morons” on the air) Angela has been a good comare. This is an outrage. It’s more important that we talk about that 974 hour “Red Riding” trilogy or the Oscars. Marty wasn’t even at this year’s Academy Awards. What is there to discuss?
Before the show is over and Beth and I will also review “Alice in Wonderland,” “A Prophet” and “Ghost Writer.”
Don’t worry. I have a plan. His will be done.
