it's been a little hard to keep up. but is there any way to find out if there 
is any correlation between the violence in the movies shown at the starlight 
directly affecting gun sales that same night and then tie them to senseless 
acts of violence later the same night? and does anyone have jack valenti's 
email address? charlton heston's too?
or did someone else get that joke in earlier?

You larf, but man, when I was in college one summer my girlfriend & I
were hanging out at her house & her parents "suggested" that we take her
nearly-always-silent grandmother to see a movie. I don't recall the
exact details but somehow the 3 of us wound up going to Total Recall.

Yes, that was a weird experience.

Anyway, Arnold flies all over killing people & then his head swells up
like a Garbage Pail Kid's and then the movie's over and we're feeling a
little freaked out & amped up, & as we're walking through the parking
lot, we're walking behind some Big American Sedan (this was pre-SUV) and
it starts backing out of its parking place, right into us.

So my girlfriend does that open-hand tap on the trunk to let the driver
know to fucking stop before he runs over 2 kids and a 70-year-old lady.

The car stops & before we've even taken 2 more steps, out swarms a
Middle Aged Man & his teenage son, and they're both kinda foaming & they
start yelling at the three of us about all the things they're gonna do
to us for touching their car.

I can't even imagine how pissed they would've been if they'd actually
run us over & we'd gotten blood & guts & brains all over their bumper or
something.

I can only assume they'd also just left Total Recall (although as it was
a multiplex, albeit a mid-80s vintage 6-plex or something) I suppose
they could've just seen something else, like, I dunno, Pretty Woman or
something.

So, um, yeah. Everything "they" say about movies and violence is true.
Honest Injun.
