AN Australian tourist has been charged with assault after telling a Texas woman to stop talking on her mobile phone at the movies. Pauline Clayton was enjoying a matinee screening of Brokeback Mountain in a Texas cinema when her day suddenly turned ugly. The former Sunshine Coast councillor said about halfway through the movie, a mobile phone started ringing nearby, a woman answered it and started talking. "I put one finger up to my mouth to shoosh her," Ms Clayton said. "She ignored me - I then leaned across and touched her with three or four fingers on the top of her arm." When the "very large" woman failed to end her call, Ms Clayton again touched her on the shoulder and that was when the woman exploded. Ms Clayton said the woman stood up over her, started shouting expletives at her and then stormed out of the cinema, in the town of Webster, just outside Houston. A short time later two Texas police officers walked into the cinema and escorted Ms Clayton out. She said the police took her to the food bar and explained that the woman had accused Ms Clayton of "invading her private space". The woman had made a complaint of assault because Ms Clayton had touched her. "They were very apologetic," Ms Clayton said. "They were very uncomfortable." Ms Clayton said the officers had tried to dissuade the woman from making a complaint and had even told the woman that if she did make the complaint, police would charge the woman with disorderly conduct and using a profanity for her outburst in the cinema. The woman refused to back down and not only was Ms Clayton charged, but the woman is now also due in court after being charged over her behaviour. Ms Clayton was issued a citation and will appear in a Texas court next week to answer the charge. With the help of an off-duty police officer who saw the fracas, she is hoping to escape with only a fine. In the meantime Ms Clayton said she was hoping to get back to see the second half of Brokeback Mountain. If convicted, Ms Clayton who grew up in Victoria and once worked as a journalist for The Sun newspaper in Brisbane, faces a fine of up to $675. She said she had been told a conviction would not affect her chances of re-entering the US. Police said it was a "little matter" and they would not be notifying US immigration authorities about any conviction. That's that bullshit. ![]() |

Wow. Something like that happened to me kind of. Me and my friends went to go see a movie, adn we were the only ones in the theater. We were laughing and having a good time. We were loud, but were the only ones. About 5 minutes into the preveiws one of the people that worked there came in and told us that if we would not stop yelling then we wopuld be kicked out. It was retarted, but made me laugh.

lol. Texas broads. don't they know that big texan women are loud. Thats so funny. Instead of trying to talk to the woman, I would have spoken to an usher. You can be kicked out of a theatre for that stuff. I don't think she should be charged for assult tho. Thats a bit much. If I had known you could do that, I would have charged this guy who kept kicking my chair really really hard in the theatre--on purpose. So I would turn around and ask for him to stop (grown man mindyou) and he wouldn't. So I would rock my chair back really hard and hit his foot, and then he would like, literally kick the crap out of my chair. He even kicked me in the back of the head. What a jerk. Oh well.

Oh gah, that's dumb. >_>
People use your common sense - you're in the movie theaters to watch a movie, not to talk on your cell. People who do that really irritate me (esp. when they hold up a long conversation). |

That women totally deserves it. |

i hate it when people talk to others or on the phone in cinemas.
i remember a few weeks ago when i was in HK, i was watching narnia in the theatres, and there was this guy sitting right behind me and talked ALL the way through the movie, basically talking about everything that was happening to the person behind him. it was really dumb too,because he kept saying things like "OMG, don't go into the wardrobe! Are you stupid?" or "She killed the lion, are they all going to die now?" psht ![]() |
