Re: "Get Rich" Pulled from theater after shooting death (AP)

HOMESTEAD, Pa. - The new 50 Cent movie "Get Rich or Die Tryin'" has been pulled from a theater where a man was fatally shot even though officials said Thursday they do not know whether the film was a factor in the slaying.

Loews Corp. decided to stop showing the rapper's bullet-ridden bio while the investigation is going on, said John McCauley, the company's vice president of marketing.

"We're unclear whether there is a direct connection," McCauley said.

He said the company is doing all it can to make sure patrons are safe at the 22-screen multiplex in a popular entertainment-and-shopping complex just east of Pittsburgh.

Shelton Flowers, 30, had just watched the rapper's movie Wednesday when he got into a confrontation with three men in the bathroom. A fight ensued and spilled out into the concessions area, where Flowers was shot, police said.

Authorities were looking for witnesses, and no suspects were immediately arrested.
This really has me upset..not the shooting, but the response to pull the movie from theatres. A random dude got into an argument at the movies. I don't think the two are connected at all. If I decide to rob a bank after hearing a joke on David Letterman, is he going off the air temporarily? Doubt it. Here there was a heavy police presence at theatres where the movie was playing and the later shows were cancelled. Are you serious? This just makes no sense to me.

Sanaa does look like she may have had a child or maybe she's just getting older and her body has changed. I can't see her and Denzel.
