Los Angeles County sheriff's spokesman Steve Whitmore says the stabbing happened Feb. 27 during a screening of the Martin Scorsese film in Lancaster. He says the two suspects remain at large. Whitmore says the victim had complained about a woman sitting nearby who was talking on her phone during the movie. He says the woman left with two men, but the men returned minutes later and stabbed the victim in the neck. Two other people in the theater came to the victim's aid and also were hurt. The man was hospitalized with serious injuries. The sheriff's office says it knew the weapon used was a meat thermometer because the suspects left it behind. No further details were released.  |  IP: Logged Martin McCaffery Film God Posts: 2481 From: Montgomery, AL Registered: Jun 99 posted 03-10-2010 01:26 PM                        Sounds exactly like something that would happen in a Martin Scorcese movie  |  IP: Logged Randy Stankey Film God Posts: 6539 From: Erie, Pennsylvania Registered: Jun 99 posted 03-10-2010 02:10 PM                     Who carries a meat thermometer around in a movie theater?!  |  IP: Logged John Wilson Film God Posts: 5438 From: Sydney, Australia.

Ask someone to be quiet during a movie and get stabbed in the neck for it. Incredible.  |  IP: Logged Phil Hill I love my cootie bug Posts: 7595 From: Hollywood, CA USA Registered: Mar 2000 posted 03-10-2010 03:11 PM                  It sounds like a sequence from the film "A Perfect Murder"...  |  IP: Logged Todd McCracken Master Film Handler Posts: 263 From: Northridge, CA, USA Registered: Mar 2008 posted 03-10-2010 03:36 PM                    quote: Who carries a meat thermometer around in a movie theater?!

That is really messed up.  |  IP: Logged Bobby Henderson "Ask me about Trajan."

People are packing in these parts, Bubba! I hope the police catch the cowardly scumbags responsible, including the bitch who put the two dudes up to do the stabbing.  |  IP: Logged Chad Souder Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 962 From: Waterloo, IA, USA Registered: Feb 2000 posted 03-11-2010 12:09 PM                     quote: David Stambaugh The sheriff's office says it knew the weapon used was a meat thermometer because the suspects left it behind. Yeah, hanging out of his neck. At the time of removal it read 97 degrees. Last weekend a woman was talking at my theatre. The man behind her, after asking her to be quiet, chose to dump his large pop all over her. In a way I felt bad about making him leave. I've wanted to do the same at times.  |  IP: Logged Todd McCracken Master Film Handler Posts: 263 From: Northridge, CA, USA Registered: Mar 2008 posted 03-11-2010 12:12 PM                    quote: quote: Todd McCracken You obviously haven't been to Lancaster.

Hehehehe, no what happened in LA is that LA county re zoned the section 8 housing and many moved to Lancaster/Palmdale. Its made it a much more interesting place. http://www.city-data.com/forum/california/122984-lancaster-seeks-pull-plug-section-8-a.html  |  IP: Logged Mike Blakesley Film God Posts: 12767 From: Forsyth, Montana Registered: Jun 99 posted 03-11-2010 03:03 PM                        quote: Chad Souder Last weekend a woman was talking at my theatre.

It would make theatres messy for a while but it would be effective!  |  IP: Logged Sean McKinnon Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1712 From: Peabody Massachusetts Registered: Sep 2000 posted 03-12-2010 12:24 PM                        Unfortunately when I was a manager at the Loews Boston Common 19 in downtown Boston we had a couple of stabbings it was not very fun. But of course in the corporate mentality we just hosed it down and kept on running!  |  IP: Logged Geena Phillips Expert Film Handler Posts: 198 From: Norcross, GA / USA Registered: Apr 2006 posted 03-14-2010 10:30 AM                        So, I wonder how long it'll take the California legislature to start debating meat-thermometer control laws?  |  IP: Logged
