A dispute at a Lancaster movie theater during a screening of "Shutter Island" ended with someone plunging a meat thermometer into the neck of the man who complained about someone sitting near him talking on a cellphone during the show.nullnullnull
I guess they have to add this to the list of things they tell you not to do in the theater.
