lighten up Francis...

the 2nd time i went to see 'The Empire Strikes Back' in the theatre, a friend bought the ticket for the repeat so i would go... well about a third of the way through the film i stood up and shouted out:

Darth Vader is Luke's father!!! that's why the force is so strong with Luke, and Vader senses it!!! Obi Wan was lying to protect Luke from the truth!!! they are father and son!!! and Luke just kissed his sister!!! Leia is Vader's daughter!!!

the audience roared with laughter and applause...

good times...

oh yeah, we got the joke, it just wasn't funny. if people would've thrown shit at you and beat you up, then I might've believed the story, and that would've made me laugh.

Only thing funnier is laser pointers at a movie, bwahahaha!

Comedy gold if that had been the Special Edition!

That would have been me, sir.

Me and my friends went and saw it about 2 weeks after it had come out. Turns out, we ended up seeing the same showing as a rather large Christian group, ie, several bus loads of folks. The minute they start nailing him up to the cross, me and two others start whistling it while another starts singing it. The church going folk were not amused. But I did hear one stray snicker from somewhere up towards the top and another person started laughing immensely. We got lots of dirty, "Enjoy the roast in hell, heathen!" looks from the crowd as we filtered out.

I was going to mention that one.

i just love how every person on here is awarded with applause....

I find that a little hard to believe. In all the times I've been to the movies, a lot of times on opening day, I've never seen or heard the audience applaud at something someone said from the audience. Maybe it's just where I go to the movies.

I have to admit when I first saw INDY IV and the Fridge scene, I had to resist the urge to yell out "WTF, George?!" But I sure was thinking it.

When I saw the 6th Sense in theaters, it was around the same time McDonalds was running some Tarzan toy promotion with sound making straws. So apparently some1 was drinking out of one and in the "creepy Halley Joel Osmond takes a piss" scene, some1 used the elephant straw as he was whizzing, at the time I could barely breathe I was laughing so hard. Then again I hated that movie.

Also, during Crash, when Sandra Bullock fell down the stairs the entire theater erupted in laughter (more ethnically diverse nyc theatre), saw it again (don't ask me why) upstate in Albany and no such reaction during that scene except from I, who snickered.

opening night of I Am Legend, during the shot when we see gas prices over 6 bucks a gallon (i forget the exact amount) a black guy next to me just yells out 'god damn' which got a laugh and some mumbling about 'oh, i'd never pay that much for gas'

i just love how someone missed the post 11 before theirs...
and then someone else does too...

The first happened in a college class. I was a criminology major and had to take a class called sex crimes. Really serious class. Well the prof brought in I Spit on Your Grave as a discussion item. We didnt watch the entire thing, just bits and pieces(I of course was the only creeper who had seen it previously). Me and 2 friends sat near the back, and there was a football player who sat behind us. Guy was never awake during class. Well the movie gets to the scene where she is about to start getting raped, the football player lifts his head off the desk and exclaims "mmm she gonna get it good." Just the fact that the guy that never spoke choose this time and that phrase to say was to much. It took everything for me and my buddies not to bust out laughing

Another was when i went and saw Swordfish. I believe the halle berry topless had gotten around, as it was all dudes and everyone was very spread out in the theater. After the scene takes places, my buddy exclaims "ok its allright to look at each other now"

I think it must of been when my buddies and I went to see Hot Fuzz but they showed a trailer for The Game Plan before the film. At the end of the trailer they showed the little girl all decked out in full football gear and then it cut to the name of the film. Everyone was dead silent but I couldn't help myself. As leaned over to my friends and said that I would of seen the movie opening day if it would of showed The Rock plowing into that little girl and knocking her out. My friends laughed and so did a few people around us but I think far more people were offended. I wonder if those people who were troubled by my comments enjoyed the last 20 or so minutes of Hot Fuzz.

The scene in the piece of shit excuse of a film called Vantage Point, where Dennis Quaid's crappy kia or whatever is smashed into a brick building, and he just gets out like nothing happened, tie completely straight, suit not even breathed on. My friend just let out a big 'You've got to be fucking kidding me--His tie is still straight'. It was great timing, as the theater was silent. He got a good amount of laughs. I wont lie and say people applauded him.

Also, all of the random ebonic-filled rooting-ons of Will Smith by the black people in the theater (I live in the Philly area) during I Am Legend. 'You go Will' 'Kick they asses Will' etc. Too funny.

The only one I can remember right now is going to watch Billy Bathgate. There were a lot of promos for it and we were hyped to see the Next Great Gangster Drama. The movie is definitely longer than the 106 minutes listed at IMDB. It was clear everyone sitting in the theatre was bored with it.

At one point, Nicole Kidman appears nude on screen for about two seconds in a long shot (a fair distance away from the camera). From the back of theatre, we hear some guy just says, "That's it?!?" which pretty much summed up the entire movie. The frustration of that line delivery is pretty much the only reason I remember the movie.

LOL. Man, wouldn't you know it - one of the best posts was fabricated in jest ... or was it?


My only kinda funny "one-liner" moment was at T2: Judgment Day! My buddies and I just happened to sit by one of our chums, Bill, from high school (back when we were in high school) and his girlfriend.

[Spoiler alert from the 90s]

During the final showdown, when Sarah Connor's shotgun was out of ammo but the T1000 stood against the railing above the molten metal vat, jacked up from the gun's blasts ... Bill, in a small-town Texan drawl, shouts to Sarah: "Drop-kick that sumbitch!"

I guess it was a funny enough line (in that you-have-to-know-the-dude way), but the earnestness in his words is what really resonates - he, like the rest of us, was on the edge of his seat during that scene.

And let's face it, a drop-kick would have done the trick.

I can just hear a Texan saying that, too LOL

I read it. What you typed wasn't remotely funny. And you weren't the only one who said that. There have been other mentions in this thread, which makes it very hard to believe.

Today at the screening of 'The Incredible Hulk"

during the almost love scene between Bruce (Edward Norton) and Betty (Liv Tyler) - he suggest it would be too much for his heartrate for them to get physical, a person from the back of the auditorium: "*cough* blow-job"

Hey I drive a Kia

During the Good Son with Mackauly Culkin when he curses my friend shouted out "Kevin" like the mom from Home Alone, which got a pretty good laugh.

During the scene in Sleepwalkers where the cats are surrounding the house my friend yelled out "Looks like the outside of a Chinese restraunt", which also got a pretty good laugh.

I wouldn't bother feeding this guy. [attrition] The less food [/attrition] the better ....

Go Gators?
