I can’t stand people yapping at the movies. It’s rude, self-involved, and pretty much ruins the entire cinema-going experience for everyone. Read the full post.

At the end of Baz Luhrman’s version of “Romeo and Juliet” a while ago, as the television screen is fading away into the background, the theater was quiet -until a guy somewhere in back, in a loud and extremely southern accent hollered “AH DIN’T UNDERSTAY-AND A DAGGUM WORD OF THAT.”
At a “Twilight” screening (mildly embarrassing), there a was group of beyond annoying tweens sitting behind me and my friends. Par for the course with that movie, but the kicker was when Cam Gigandet and the other nomad vampires first appeared on screen and one of the girls loudly whispered, “It’s Paul Walker! I didn’t know he was in this!” Add to that her comment during the prom scene: “Jacob’s totally going to turn into a vampire,” and you have quite the enjoyable movie experience.
During those trivia games that run while you wait for the movie to start they put up a clue up and had the “answer’s” face blurred out so you could guess who it was. A lady behind me said “I think the projector’s broken. The screen’s all blurry.” That combined with her smuggled-in Ziploc bag of homemade popcorn made my night.
I was 12 (and a big chicken-s**t) when I saw Poltergeist in the theatre, and my friend helped me survive the scary scenes by shouting things out at the screen. There were lots, but what I remember most was her singing the “Jello Brand Gelatin” theme when the wall was all orange and breathing!
Also, at the end of Sweeney Todd, (and I hope this isn’t spoilery), when Todd accuses Mrs. Lovett of lying to him and she replies “I was only thinking of you,” someone in the front said “Oh no she di’int!” That cracked me up!!
There is always one guy at each movie I see who has to have every freaking scene explained to him! Even the animated movies! He thinks all movies are based on true stories. Movies like Star Wars, Jaws, District 9, Spiderman, Up, Finding Nemo. I didn’t even bother to go see Titanic with him because I knew I’d never get to just watch it. My hubby really just needs to wait for Netflix.
Mu hubby & I saw The Sixth Sense on opening weekend and there was a preview for Fight Club. Brad Pitt asked Ed Norton which celebrity he would beat up and I leaned over to my hubby to tell him who I would beat up. He laughed so hard, I thought we we’re gonna get kicked out. I told him to shut up, it wasn’t that funny when the guy in front of us leaned back and said “actually, Stephen Hawking is pretty funny.”
During Dark Water(really,really dumb movie btw) the ghost girl or whatever asks the main chick “will you be my mommy” and someone Ripped a big one….only thing that made that movie fun imo..:X
