(CNN) -- A man angry that a family was talking during a movie threw popcorn at the son and then shot the father in the arm, according to police in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

James Joseph Cialella, 29, was charged with attempted murder, aggravated assault and weapons violations, a police report said.

Cialella told the family sitting in front of him in the theater on Christmas Day to be quiet, police said.

An argument ensued while others at the Riverview Movie Theatre watched "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button," starring Brad Pitt and Cate Blanchett, The Philadelphia Inquirer reported.

Cialella then approached the family from the left side of the aisle and shot the father, who was not identified, as he was standing between Cialella and his family, according to the police report.

The victim was taken to Jefferson Hospital with a gunshot wound to his left arm, police said.

Cialella was carrying a Kel-Tec .380-caliber handgun clipped inside his sweatpants, police said. He was arrested and taken into custody.

You can burn my house
You can cut my hair
You can make me wrestle naked
With a grizzly bear

You can poison my cat
Baby I don't care
But if you talk in the movies
I'll kill you right there

It's the little things alright.

I wonder if that has anything to do with one of the recent Strong Bad e-mails...

Well, opening fire because they cant keep their mouths shut is a bit drastic I'd say, but if can decrease the number of gum flapping idiots in cinemas, hmmm...

I'm pissed off he got caught. How come you never see on site homicides in public places on the news where they get away?

like they would report that shit publicly :?

Even on those reality tv shows involving cop chases, they only show people who get caught eventually. Dont want to be instilling certain "thoughts" into people as they get pulled over. "wait a second...if some inbred redneck could outrun the LAPD and there's only a lone county sherriff behind me and it's night...and he's fat....hmmmmmmmm"
