No 'Chicken Little' - Kids see suicide

A Times Square movie theater laid an egg at a showing of "Chicken Little" last night.

Adults and kids expecting to watch Disney's G-rated animated flick at the AMC Empire 25 theater on 42nd St. were instead presented with a foreign film that opened with a young man committing suicide.

"It's pandemonium," Joshua Gallo, 30, told the Daily News as he rushed out of the theater with his 5-year-old son and 1-year-old daughter. "The kids are crying. The mothers are screaming for the managers to stop the film."

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.

After five minutes, "Andrea," a Spanish drama opening today, was turned off and "Chicken Little" was played.

Patrons got a coupon for a free movie.

I don't believe I've ever seen him post, and now he's a lifer. :Q
I guess it's because my AT use has greatly tapered off in the past few years.

Yeah well, it was gonna be an anticlimactic moment anyway. It's just a number that measures how many different times I've clicked a button after wasting several seconds of my life replying to something.

AT use or AT interest? If it's the latter, I'm in agreement with you.

I'm curious about the original topic though, I wonder how many people stayed with their kids to watch the showing afterward. To me that would've been the smart thing to do, to take their mind off what they just saw rather then taking them home and having them go to bed. I bet there were many sheets that needed changing this morning.

That's terrible.

I'd be suing for millions the very next day. No class action stuff. Hit the projector, the manager, the maker of the film for not putting safeguards on the dangerous emotionally damaging film, the projector manufacturer for not having protection/safeguards.

This is an open and shut case.
