ROME, Ga. -- It has been a bad omen for some moviegoers.

The number 666 has been printing on tickets to "The Passion of The Christ" at a Georgia movie theater, drawing complaints.

Some people believe 666 is the "mark of the beast." But theater owner Gary Smith said it wasn't a sign of the devil -- just the computer. He said 666 was printed on the tickets at the Movies at Berry Square by coincidence.

Smith added it had nothing to do with Mel Gibson's epic film or its subject, the last hours of Christ. Patrons who objected to the 666 tickets were given a pass as a substitute.

===============================================

I also heard that a man in Indiania dressed up in a Devil costume and went to the movie over the weekend. People started to throw gummy bears at him and an old lady dumped her pop on his head. I'm trying to find the story but I can't right now. If I do i'll post it.
