The Kinepolis movie theater in the Belgian city of Hasselt started showing the movie ‘The Valley of Elah’ two weeks ago. This ofcourse isn’t breaking news. But only after two weeks they found out they were showing the movie backwards.

The Valley of Elah is a drama based on a true story, starring Tommy Lee Jones. ( info on IMDB)

Apparently something went horribly wrong during the assembly of the film. This has caused the visitors to see the ending first. Usually when a film is delivered to a movie theater, the movie is cut in at least two parts. Then it is up to the movie theater to assemble the separate parts into a full movie. But they did it wrong.

The two parts were switched around so the movie-goers saw a very strange movie. Oddly enough, more then 700 people had already seen the flick before some genius thought something was wrong. That genius decided to tell the theater there was something fishy about the movie.

According to Kinepolis Hasselt, everyone who had bought a ticket in the past weeks is encouraged to exchange their old ticket for a new one.

I found a hilarious news item on Yahoo! today :

Authorities say a man drove a stolen car to the Anderson County Sheriff’s Office to demand the return of nearly $2,000 officers seized from him during a drug arrest last June.

Authorities say Chambers was charged with possession of a stolen automobile, driving under suspension and a tag violation.

Deputies said after they told Charles Chambers, 36, to leave Tuesday afternoon, an officer noticed he got into a car that matched the description of a vehicle stolen about three hours earlier.

Another officer pulled the man over and told him to stop the car. The officer said Chambers stuck a screwdriver in the ignition to shut it off because the vehicle’s key switch had been removed.

What a moron !

The American FAA, or Federal Aviation Administration, is investigating a report that two pilots fell asleep during a domestic flight and flew right past the destination airport.

This is supposed to have happened during a flight from Honolulu to Hilo, both in the state of Hawaii, last Wednesday.

To the amazement of the air traffic controllers the airplane did not start the landing procedures when it was scheduled to make its planned landing. All attempts to make radio contact with the airplane’s cockpit kept failing for over 20 minutes.

The local officials suspect both pilots fell asleep during the flight and have asked for an investigation from by FAA.

A spokesman from the airplane’s airline, GO! Airlines, was fast to declare that the pilots were having technical difficulties with their radio equipment. This prevented them from sending any messages to air traffic control.

An American gamer form Louisiana ended up in jail after he had dialed a wrong number. The 29-year-old Thomas Ballard had just ended his night of video-gaming when he decided to call his friend about his victories.

Still hyped about his achievements Ballard pressed in the wrong number and was connected to a rather  amazed woman. He then started yelling: “I have killed them all !”.

The woman was shocked, wrote down Ballard’s number and called the police. When the police arrived at the gamer’s residence there was not a single dead body to be found. They soon realized it was all a misunderstanding. All Ballard had intended was to inform his friend about all the ‘bad guys’ he had killed that night, while playing the video game.

Unfortunately for Ballard, he was arrested though. He had neglected to pay a fine he had received 5 years ago. He received that fine for possession of cocaine.
