One of the funny ones I saw in this thread:
In Gladiator when the armies are facing one another near the beginning and it cuts to a shot of one of the barbarian warriors. One guy said he heard a guy in the theater shout out "What's in your wallet!" like the Capital One commercials.
So what else have you guys said/heard in the theater? Lyinar Ka`Bael fucked around with this message on 12-09-2005 at 06:45 AM.

Some people are like Slinkys... Not really good for anything, But they still bring a smile to your face when you push them down a flight of stairs.

You realize that Gladiator predates the Capital One commercials by about five years, right?
So it would be kind of impossible, unless our theatre-going prankster were a psychic, for him to make that reference five years before it's relevant? And even then that it wouldn't be funny, since he's the only person who knows what the fuck he's talking about?
It's not something people hear about.

Well I don't mean during the whole movie. I mean when someone interjects that one comment just when you least expect it and everyone starts to laugh.

Those are the worst, because they intentionally interrupt the movie for everyone, on the flawed premise that they are witty or funny.

I've had it happen a few times. Someone interjects just the right comment and it sets everyone off. Especially if the movie was really bad anyway. Gives people a positive experience whereas they might have left angry they spent money on the experience.

From the book of Ja'Deth Issar Ka'bael, chapter 3, verse 16:
On ECU's campus, poking fun at the flick you were watching was part of the fun. Like I said, they'd been out for months. You want to see it nice and safe and quiet, rent it.
That whole 'nice and safe and quiet' bit is what people used to go to the cinema for. In this day and age, thanks to the jerkwads and fucknuts who keep their cellphone on, let alone talk on it during the movie, and the self-appointed witty people who just have to make a comment, the enjoyment is gone.
If you wanna be witty, do it at home. You wanna make fun of a movie, go do it at home, not at the cinema.

If it's socially acceptable at the venue you're at, then tough titty to the people who don't want that sort of thing going on. Pay the money to see it when it came out, rent it and watch it on your home theater, or take it elsewhere.
Note I'm not saying that in your average cinema, with a movie that's on first run, it should be a regular thing. I did, however, feel that the theater in question was atypical. Or do I need to go over the atypical elements again slowly?

Those are the instances I'm talking about, even for a movie on its first run. Someone says what everyone is thinking and everyone laughs.

Child's voice: "Mommy? Why did Barney eat that man?"
We had one of those for the ENTIRE LAST FUCKING HOUR of Return of the King. I swear she was probably lynched outside the theater afterwards.
People doing it in a movie theater where there are people that do want to watch the movie are not witty. Even if they get laughs out of people, that doesn't make it right.
There have been movies that someone has yelled out a one-liner, and I laughed, but I still would have enjoyed the movie more if they'd just kept it to themselves. Not every movie has to be funny to be worth watching.

I'm sure a lot of people have known about Lord of the Rings but never actually read the books. The series has been put to animation at least twice long before the live action stuff. And in the case of the animated ones, they were far Far FAR more condensed.

There was a point when there's a bad view on a Minotaur, and someone back behind me yelled out "CHEWIE!". The back three rows burst into laughter, because it looked alot like him.
But yeah, loud talkers are bad.
