Woman sues theater for arresting her while she bootlegged “Twilight”

Maybe I’m silly for expecting logic from a woman who’s a big fan of glittery vampires and latently homosexual werewolves, but 22-year-old Samantha Tumpach’s lawsuit against a local movie theater for arresting her for videotaping portions of “Twilight: New Moon.”

Tumpach is suing the Muvico movie theater in Rosemont for over $50,000 charging them with malicious prosecution, intentional infliction of emotional distress, negligence, and defamation.

Tumpach says in the lawsuit that she had been celebrating her sister’s birthday at the movie theater, using digital cameras to take photos and videos of the revelers. She claims that she videotaped the opening of the movie to capture the opening “as a memory of this exciting event.”

During the initial arrest, employees said they saw her recording the movie. Police found only a few minutes of footage of the movie on the camera.

So, it seems like maybe the arrest was a bit of an overreaction. But she’s still an idiot for filming part of a movie openly in a movie theater. I think they should adopt wrestling-esque stipulations for this lawsuit. Like the guilty party has a punishment relevant to the feud, like having blood drawn from the loser’s body by a guy wearing a Robert Pattinson mask. That’s my solution to everything. It’s the perfect combination of foppish little men, blood, and brutal murder to fit any situation.
