Funny things youve done in a theater
 
Gren's species 2 talk reminded me of this. i try to be thoughtful of others in a theater, but when i saw Species 2, everything that could go wrong did. Plus, imo, the movie was terrible.

We were sitting there quietly waiting for the mvoie to start. it was 10 minutes late (i was there wityh 3 other people). The lights finally go down, the movie starts, then all of the sudden, a young couple walks in. on cue, the movie stops and the lights come back on.
I said "Wow, they must be royalty." Apparently, i said it loud enough for the whole theater to hear because the place erupted in laughter.

Later, when the main guy in the movie takes a pair of his new offspring to the barn where there are what looks like 30 others. As soon as they showed the kids, i leaned over to one of my freinds and said "Holy shit, what is he, Catholic?"

Again, the entire theater heard me and started laughing. apparently, they didnt care for it much either.

ive done a buncha random stuff but its too long to explain and its like u had to be there

and thing is my shit isnt witty like urs.. its just me saying dumb crap :)

when i was a kid ... popcorn came in boxes, not cups ... so they could be flattened and thrown like a frizbee (which is the exact reason they are in cups today.

I remember taking part in the 'mother of all popcorn box wars' at one show where at one point there were so many of these grease stained cardboard projectiles flying in every direction you couldnt see the screen.

It was the coolest thing i've ever seen.

Vodstok 01-18-2005 06:57 AM

Never got into a popcorn fight at a theater. I once got into a wet toilet paper and paper towel fight in a pool dressing room one time. it was a riot. I left and went swimming 3/4 of the way into it (i started it :D) and, as luck would have it, every single other kid involved got in trouble and was banned from the pool for a month. oops.



Another funny thing: I get giddy during action-packed or extremely violent scenes. So back whenGladiator hit theaters, i was htere at a matinee on opening day. there were maybe 10 people total in the theater, so there wasnt really any non-movie related noise going on.

Then, during the fight where Maximus wipes out 6 (ithink) other gladiators in under a minute, i was cackling. He sticks both swords into the last guy and turns around and says "Are you not entertained?!" I was howling. Then he cuts the gyuys head off and throws the sword, i had to lay sideways in my seat because my sides hurt.

I looked around after the scene was done and a nice young couple was looking at me like i hit babies with hammers for chuckles.

urgeok 01-18-2005 07:19 AM

that was like the time i saw 'Problem Child' at the theatre.
I know this is not a good film .. but for some reason or another i couldnt stop laughing .. i had tears streaming out of my eyes .. i went with 2 buddies .. one was like me .. we were both laughing uncontrollably .. while the other looked blankly at the screen ..along with the rest of the audience. People were walking out ..

man i wish they'd make movies that could do that to me again ..

the list is short ..
raising arizona ..
one part of Scary Movie 3
Noises Off ..
Naked Gun



Comedy is the hardest thing to do well ..I love the films where the director builds the to the point where you cant control yourself ... it's the only thing better than a good horror film ...

Gren the cake 01-18-2005 07:24 AM

OMG raising arizona.. where the guy is all 'loook at my young boy isnt he so smart' and hes scribbled 'fart' on the wall LOLOL

urgeok 01-18-2005 07:26 AM

and then he throws a handful of smarties at him 'heads up jr. !'

Vodstok 01-18-2005 07:30 AM

For some reason,t he funniest thing to me in Raising Arizona (outside of Tex Cobb killing bunnies and lizards...hehe) was Nicholas Cage running through a grocery store with a box of diapers under his arm getting chased by dogs... Cracks me up every time.

with 3 other people? So the 4 of you was referred to as erupting with laughter? :D

ShankS 01-18-2005 07:55 AM

I'm always sensible when watching a film.

Death By Jell-O 01-18-2005 07:57 AM

I generally avoid going to the theater......Aside from the price gouging for the tickets, I have the propensity to fall asleep in theaters....I don't know what it is.....

ShankS 01-18-2005 09:04 AM

a mate went with his girl friend, he aksed her whether she wanted anything from the shop like hotdogs or nachos etc before the film started, and she didnt.

then 10 minutes into the film she moand she wanted some popcorn, he eventually got some for her and was pissed he'd missed 5 minutes of the film.

he had the tub thing over his lap and pierced a hold in the bottom and ripped it enough so he could fit his twanger through the hole.... he stopped eating the stuff but his girl friend carried on reaching into the tub, haha she got a fleshy surprise when the level went down.

did you dream that after seeing the movie Diner ?? :)

ShankS 01-18-2005 09:11 AM

what movie?

urgeok 01-18-2005 09:22 AM

Diner ... Mickey Rourke did the exact same thing ...
on a bet with his buddies that he could get the 'cold' girl
to grab his member at the show.

They called it off because if she wasnt going for it on purpose - it didnt count..

ShankS 01-18-2005 09:27 AM

I've not seen the film, but he may have.

allmykids 01-18-2005 11:28 AM

When i was 17 i put 4 eggs in my purse. I was going to throw them from the top row but i guess the joke was on me. when i reached in my purse they where all broken!! LOL

sounds about right! the ones i watched were from his show on HBO (did u know that stands for home box office I DID NOT KNOW THAT but it makes so much sense now cuz all they show is movies!)

anyway. he has 3 characters, a gangsta bling bling guy, a middle eastern, ande a gay dresser. funniest shit, cuz he'll go to legitimate events, or interview people (surgeon general, secretary of states both former of course, ralph nader) LOL and he'll say the stupidest crap. FUNNIEST SHIT. he does it with suc a straight face. neway, fnishing watching it tonight i think, as for the movie i dunno.

1beastieibe 01-18-2005 04:09 PM

I hate going to the movies now cause someone always ruins it by being an asshole, why do I wanna pay 8.50 to hear people say stupid things when IM trying to watch a movie. I also hate it when people bring their kids to PG 13 or R and they start crying or making baby noises. Like their baby's going to enjoy the movie.....if you cant afford a babysitter dont go!

Marroe 01-18-2005 04:21 PM

Last movie I went out to see was Darkness:rolleyes:. As soon as we walk up to the ticket guy, the girl I was with started rubbing her boobs and said "damn it's cold in here, my nipples are starched". Of course the ticket guy, being like 14 started to blush. Once it finally started , everytime the movie would get quiet the guy I was with yelled "RRRRRAAAAAHHHHHH TIMMY!!!" This started to get old after a while. My friends can never act right in public.

That's funny, you have actually told me to kill him before when I posted that he "talked to gods" maybe I should look into it.

yes that is so very very true.

this isn't funny, but it's something stupid I did in a theatre once, and I regret it now:

in the small southern town where I went to college, there was nowhere that someone could go see a good movie. all that came to our town were action movies and teen comedies... until They built the new enormo-plex, which forced the old theatre to make a tough call: to either go out of business or become a "dollar movie." they went with B. but the main good thing about it was that they would get movies that the big theatre wouldn't get, like smaller horror movies and Woody Allen flicks. so it was fun to get all wasted and go pay a buck and sneak in some beers.

the problem with older theatres is just that: they're old. in other words, things don't work right. well, one night after a day of drinking, I had had enough. I got tired of, every time I went to the dollar movie, the sound messed up, or the film broke, or something stupid happened to where there were constant delays. so I thought it would be a good idea to throw some cups at the screen. so I threw a few cups. a few people got wet, but nothing else came of it. then I ran out of cups. what did I have left to throw??? beer bottles!!! so I threw a beer bottle, which smashed into shards of deadliness at the front of the theatre. I was just pulling back to toss my next Southpaw, when the lights came up and a Voice said, "please leave the theatre." there was no question who They were talking to. me and my friends skulked outta there like a dog who got caught shitting on the new carpet... afraid of an encounter with Johnny Law.

and, that was the end of it... or so I thought.

a few weeks later my buddy was reading an article in the newspaper which said the dollar movie was going out of business. when I asked him why, he said, "apparently some stupid bitch was walking around barefooted and cut her foot really bad on some glass. she sued the dollar movie and the dollar movie couldn't afford to pay, so they bankrupted!"

I felt terrible. I had single-handedly knocked out one of the few cool places to go in our small town.

everyone does bad things they regret... some worse than others. It's a shame you got drunk and wrecked something that was good for you and others.....wrong place at the wrong time. The trouble in general is, people get something good and it gets abused eventually.

Vodstok 01-19-2005 04:02 AM

The dipshit was in a THEATER with bare feet? Not only is that usually against the law, but there are far worse things than glass on your average theater floor.


The Timmy thing reminds me of when my wife and i went to see Return of the king. I cant remember what happened, but at one point near the beginning of the movie, a group of teenagers cheered, and everyone laughed (because it was inappropriate, and was pretty ironic at the time).

In true retard fashion, they took that to mean that they were hilariously funny comedian types, and continued to do it repeatedly for the rest of the movie. Around the 8th time, a bunch of us started telling them that it wasnt funny anymore.

My wife (being the peachy little darling she is, and knowing how awful it is for an attractive woman to insult you when you are in your teens) loudly stated that if they kept that up, their dates would never suck their dicks because they werent really that cool :)

I love her.

urgeok 01-19-2005 06:19 AM

we have a cool old rep theatre in Toronto i love (first saw Cemetary MAn there - midnight at halloween - years ago)

it was pretty shabby at one point and in need of big repairs .. lots of broken seats etc...

one night i was there watching a movie - before they fixed the joint up - and there was a big commotion coming from the right side of the theatre .. so we check it out .. and this big fucking raccoon comes lumbering through the seats ...people yelping and scrambling ...

pretty funny

I didnt do it - but still pretty funny :D

Haphazard 01-19-2005 02:08 PM

Me and my friend went to see a stupid-ass movie spur of the moment. I think it was a Segal movie of some sort.

Anyway, I have endless stories about theatre antics...but I'll just share this one.

Me and my friend were sitting just chatting before the movie started, I noticed out of the corner of my eye some chick's foot up on my arm rest. I was like...WTF??? lol. She kept it there throughout most of the movie. My friend and I kept laughing, then I said watch this.

I just started massaging this total stranger's foot...my friend could not stop laughing. Mind you, we have yet to even look back to see what she/they even look like, and I'm sitting here tickling her foot and massaging it.

Anyway, the movie ends...the lights come on. We calmly turn around to introduce ourselves...and it was like a big 'ol soccer mom! We just kept laughing and took the fuck off...fast!
