Man Discovered Dead Of Mysterious Causes After Twilight Screening image
Prior to the release of Twilight: Eclipse last week, I wrote a feature entitled 5 Reasons To Stay Far Away From Twilight: Eclipse. Listed among my reasons was that the film is incredibly boring, warning potential movie-goers that high expectations could lead to "a cerebral hemorrhage that the tweens surrounding you won’t recognize until the lights come back on." Apparently a New Zealand man didn't heed my warning.

The New Zealand Herald is reporting that a 23-year-old man was found dead in his seat after a screening of Eclipse ended on Sunday night. While doctors will be doing a post-mortem inspection, paramedics were unsure about the cause of death, seeing no obvious injuries. The man, who appears to have gone alone to the screening, was slumped over in his chair and went unnoticed by theater-goers.

While I hate to make light of this situation (the death of a 23-year-old is never funny), I pray that he was in either in the middle of a row or in an aisle seat against a wall. It's not uncommon for people to leave a theater in a hurry, but how do you not notice that the man sitting next to you has passed away? Even if you think he might be sleeping, don't you give him a nudge to let him know that the movie is over? It would be one thing if it was a movie that came out weeks ago, but you know that this theater was packed with people who simply ignored this man.
