One morning this week, my phone reported that a Latvian man had been arrested for shooting dead a fellow moviegoer for eating his popcorn too noisily during a screening of Black Swan.
I hoped it was misreported or mistranslated and that the guy hadn’t been arrested, he’d been honoured with a tickertape parade. Turns out I was sort of right.
It was mistranslated. Later that day, the news piece reappeared with the correction that the noisy popcorn eater had shot dead the guy who’d told him to eat more quietly. This completely ruined a perfectly good blob and therefore I will not mention it.
