In what has to be the greatest fuck up in movie theater history, kids expecting to see Chicken Little in stead saw a forgin film that opened with a guy committing suicide...and all they got was a lousy coupon!

    Terrified children didn't know what to do as they watched a young boy hang himself from a tree at the 8:45 p.m. screening



    1. Perhaps the parents should have covered their eyes...

    2. 8.45 p.m.? Kids show?

    And as I read the article it was a simple mistake. Not really worthy of a news article.

    Great points, My only other question is if such a violent movie is accedentally started in a room full of kids, why was it let play for 5 minutes? does it take 5 minutes to stop the film, or if nothing else turn of the projector bulb??



    And why didnt the parents walk out / cover the kids eyes when the obligatory green MPAA Rating appeared before the feature?

    Is this violence really all that different from the violence most children are submitted to by TV on a daily basis?

    In the typical modern multiplex there is one operator for anywhere upwards of 8 projectors.



    That's why it takes so long to fix focus or sound problems, even when the audience is chanting "Focus! Focus!" The guy is probably firing up the projector across the room.
