HOMESTEAD, Pa. - The new 50 Cent movie "Get Rich or Die Tryin'" has been pulled from a theater where a man was fatally shot even though officials said Thursday they do not know whether the film was a factor in the slaying.
Loews Corp. decided to stop showing the rapper's bullet-ridden bio while the investigation is going on, said John McCauley, the company's vice president of marketing.
"We're unclear whether there is a direct connection," McCauley said.
He said the company is doing all it can to make sure patrons are safe at the 22-screen multiplex in a popular entertainment-and-shopping complex just east of Pittsburgh.
Shelton Flowers, 30, had just watched the rapper's movie Wednesday when he got into a confrontation with three men in the bathroom. A fight ensued and spilled out into the concessions area, where Flowers was shot, police said.
Authorities were looking for witnesses, and no suspects were immediately arrested.

So wealthy college kids will have to wait for the DVD... Tough life.
I think the mere presence of 50 cent, even on the movie screen, spontaneously generates flying bullets.
Word bling bling.
When subhuman thugs and criminals are glorified, bad things happen.
I was kicked out of the local Bijou today. I thought 50 cent was the ticket price.

talk about shi-- for brains.
Where will we get the "Mystery Sandwich" now?
Funny thing -- every time they have a sports car race at Mosport, the road leading up there is pustular with patrol cars. It seems that people who go to car races tend to drive very fast when they are coming and going to the race...
So I can't imagine why anybody would have trouble believing that going to see a wealthy Black guy show "how I did it" by riddling the neighbourhood with bullets would lead anybody to imitate what they seee ...
Who the Hell do they think would be attracted to this movie? Brownies?
Check out the 50-Cent video game based on the movie. Here's a trailer to get you guys going:

Uh huh. Yet another example of conveniently leaving out the races of the victim and perps......as if we have to ask any more.
Never go see a movie that will have lots of gangbangers wanting to see it
Yes, I found the cross hanging around his neck particularly appealing to the Christians.
