just checked this out @ Cary Crossroads tonight. being a fan of 50, i thought this movie was excellent. i think he did a great job acting his first time out, but not was good as eminem in 8 mile. although, i thought this was a much better movie than 8 mile; it had more heart and i actually cared about the characters. the supporting cast was excellent, especially my man terrance howard. go check it out and let me know what you think...

"'Get Rich' Pulled After Pittsburgh Shooting By Nicole Sperling, Reuters LOS ANGELES (Nov. 11) - The Loews theater chain pulled rapper 50 Cent's new film "Get Rich or Die Tryin"' from a theater near Pittsburgh after a man was shot to death in the lobby Wednesday night. Police said Shelton Flowers, 30, of Wilkinsburg, Pa., was shot at 11:06 p.m. and died later at an area hospital. Gerald Barger of the West Homestead Police Department said four people were involved in the shooting but that there were no suspects. Local police plan to increase patrols at the 22-screen Loews Cineplex at the Waterfront from 6 p.m.-2 a.m. Loews president Travis Reid said the incident occurred while most of the theater's patrons were in their seats in the complex's individual theaters. It is not clear whether the individuals involved in the shooting had just left the screening of "Get Rich," which had started at 10 p.m., but Reid acknowledged that they had come from that direction. While Loews will not play the Paramount Pictures release at the Waterfront until the investigation is completed, the New York-based exhibitor will continue showing the movie at its other locations around the country. "There was a lot of preparation done for this film after Paramount's research told us that it was drawing a primarily young male crowd," Reid said. "We had taken all the precautions possible to limit any possibility of violence, but I'm skeptical that the film itself incited it. I think it was more an issue where the wrong people came into contact with each other." A Paramount spokesperson could not be reached for comment. Other exhibitors are watching the situation but will continue to play the movie. "We are closely monitoring the film and the reactions of patrons in our theaters, but as of today we have no incidents," Greg Dunn, president of the Regal Entertainment Group, the country's leading exhibitor, said Thursday. Regal would not comment on its booking decisions, but sources said the chain had agreed to play the film in just 96 theaters, though Paramount had requested a significantly higher number. AMC reported that a couple of fistfights had broken out in its theaters showing "Get Rich" but did not consider that unusual. National Amusements reported no incidents across its circuit. "We regret this tragic incident, but we have to remind our patrons that violence at theaters is extremely rare," said John Fithian, president of the National Association of Theater Owners. "We've had 1.5 billion people come to the theaters in each of the past three years, and there were only a handful of violent incidents. Though very unfortunate, this type of incident is very rare at the cinema. At this time we don't know if there is any association of this particular incident in connection with the film that was playing. We'll let the police do their investigation." The R-rated "Get Rich," starring rapper Curtis "50 Cent" Jackson, opened Wednesday in 1,652 theaters nationwide."

^^^Thats interesting b/c AMC purchased Loewes back a few months ago, so those articles are actually involving only one theater company.

11/11/2005 3:35:46 PM

Just saw it.....movie is ok. 50's acting was straight trash though.....how can you not even act your life?

haha...shit, it would be hard for it to be worse...also, it makes me respect samuel l. that much more because he refuses to be in a movie w/ a no talent rapper turned actor (last i heard, anyways)...

11/16/2005 10:24:56 AM

I won't see it.

But it's only because I think he's a shitty artist, in general.

11/16/2005 11:27:19 AM

^^ Now i love Samuel L. but he is doing Snakes on a Plane so lets not tout him as the most scrupulous actor ever

11/16/2005 11:49:43 AM

fuck 'baller blockin', 'im bout it' is the fuckin standard

Hmmm, he was on that list when he got on here to begin with.

11/16/2005 4:38:09 PM

heh
i watched a bootleg of this cause it was on at some dudes house

this movie is shit-tastic

the directing should make jim sherridan cry every time he goes to the bank

i honestly couldn't tell when 50 was trying to sound like a weak, new rapper, and when he was supposed to be the triumphant king of rap

and the tarrantino-timeline effect never really works when the story wouldn't work in order

and where did his fucking kid come from?

11/16/2005 6:40:23 PM
