The
Notorious-related
weekend violence seems to have held steady at four stabbed at a Brooklyn post-premiere party and one North Carolina shooting. (There was a
fistfight at a Trumbull, Connecticut screening, but that hardly counts.) But we have a new, late entrant in the movie-audience violence sweepstakes: at a Valley Stream, Long Island theater showing
My Bloody Valentine in 3-D a security guard argued with a patron who wanted to wait inside for his apres-cinema ride; it came to pushing and shoving, and the
guard whipped out a knife and stabbed the patron. Like this weekend's other victims, the patron is expected to survive. As far as on-scene movie violence,
Notorious and
My Bloody Valentine in 3-D are tied at one victim apiece, though the off-site multiple stabbings give
Notorious an edge on points. But we haven't got all the data back yet from
Paul Blart: Mall Cop.
