KATV'er Goes on Tear in Movie Theater

This from the BullWhiz newsletter;

"The so-called TV personalities now appearing on local TV are
frightening....


And the ones appearing in person are worse! I had the unpleasant experience of witnessing local TV "movie critic," Rene Shapiro, last week at a screening of "Fun with Dick and Jane." Who is this narcissistic, obnoxious, bellowing woman?! I had never heard of her before that night, however, I was sitting near the lady who was there to "screen" the audience or something, when Rene began berating the lady for not saving seats for her and her late-arriving friends. Some other TV folks, I think. The screening lady kept trying to explain to Rene that no one had told her to save seats for all Rene's friends, which apparently sent the Self-Important-Mega-Critic in to a hissy-fit, because she then began shouting to everyone in the theater that she needed SEATS TOGETHER FOR HER FRIENDS!!! And could we the rest of the audience ­ who had arrived ON TIME ­ scoot our sorry-pathetic-NOT-MOVIE-CRITIC butts over and make room for the grand entrance of the Channel 7 crew! What was even more disgusting was the fact that there were plenty of seats on the front row for her Her Highness Loudmouth. Geez, Spirit of Arkansas, my Aunt Fanny! What is the scoop of this ignorant woman anyway?"
