In Reply to: Some lady today had a heart attack during the crucifixation scene and died......... posted by Chris Garrett on February 25, 2004 at 20:14:35:
never heard about it. Leave it to a 25 year old reporter trying to make a name for himself/herself.Someone dying of a heart attack in a theatre is not uncommon . . . and often in a scene that scares or excites them. The frequency of this has declined, however, as the average age of theatre goers has plummetted to 12. Given that the average age of the audience for this film is much older* it will happen again. And someone will make the same fallacious point again.
*The queues of theatregoers even here in NYC was much older than is typical these days, rather overweight and psyching themselves up (one way or the other) for the experience. I am surprised there was only one reported instance!
