  • Funny that happened at Man of Steel - possible mild spoiler

    The thread about phones in the cinema reminded me of this from last weekend.

    Went to see what could have been a fantastic movie that kinda got lost at the end. It was almost like they were trying to destroy a city in as many ways as possible. But there weren't enough extras, so it was a kinda empty city. It was just odd.

    When the movie came towards the end and 2 main characters puckered up, the kid next to me blurted out really loudly 'EEEWWWWW gross!' Made quite a few of us giggle.

    Anyone else done this kind of thing?

    I burst into laughter when Meg Ryan's character kicked the bucket in 'City of Angels' in a very full cinema. I got filthy looks from everyone, including my friends who were bawling.

    in WWZ, when they announced the refugee camp was in Nova Scotia, the entire theater started laughing.

    On the one hand, in universe it does make sense. But I think it's a Maritimer thing that when Hollywood or Big Industry of some sort seems to remember that Canada exists east of Montreal, we dismiss it/laugh at it. (I'm in New Brunswick myself. )

          She deserved it. That girl had the dumb. Riding a bicycle without her hands, eyes closed, head tilted back, down a hill? What am I supposed to think other than "What in the world is going through her head?"

            When I went to see "The Thin Red Line" and they brought George Clooney and some replacements in...someone blurted out, "Is this movie ever going to end?"

              When my sister and I saw "Bolt", we were up to the scene where Bolt sees his doppelganger and thinks that Penny loves the doppelganger instead of him.

                in the first Charlie's Angels movie after Drew Barrymore beats up the bad guys while tied to a chair and says "And that's kicking your ass" a girl in the row behind me yelled out "you go girl"

                and Dante's Peak when Pierce Brosnan gets crushed by falling rubble and breaks his arm my father in law (who was sitting elsewhere in the theater thankfully) called out "its only a flesh wound"

                    I'm not quite sure how it evolved, but there was a strange custom at the midnight showings in my old town. (Usually a Monty Python, occasionally Rock Horror or some B-movie.) At some random point in the movie a particular guy would yell out a very coarse expletive laden phrase, nothing to do with the movie. And a good hunk of the audience would reply with "Lamberti, Lamberti!" at the top of our lungs. A chuckle would would follow, then back to watching as normal. By sheer coincidence, I'd actually worked with Mark Lamberti about ten years previously at my very first restaurant job, but I have no idea why (alcohol? Tourettes?) he started yelling out in theatres, or why enough people recognized him to scream his name.

                        It's only some people who believe that Toronto is all that matters. I heard that once, when the Globe and Mail wanted to find out how people in Western Canada felt about an issue, they sent a reporter to Mississauga.

                          I was at the movies one time for some family film or other, and one of the trailers was for the live-action Bratz film. As soon as the trailer was over, one guy loudly shouted out "BOOOO!" and got the whole theater laughing.

                              A friend of mine went to see the first Twilight movie because his wife wanted to. He knew nothing about the franchise. When he found out that the vampires sparkle he blurted out, "YOU'VE GOT TO BE F*&KING KIDDING ME!!!"
                              I'd tell you where to go, but I work there and I don't want to see you everyday.
