    Ahhh, that's what it was .. see, I was on the right and I could just hear shouting, maybe it was people telling him to shut up.

    Also, what the f**k was with all the laughter?!?!

    Niallon, you're a man after my own heart.

    I SWEAR to you, I had that typed out and didn't submit it as I thought it was just me. People all around me were laughing and at one stage I just had to say:

    "Why is everyone laughing??"

    REALLY bugged me, like .. what's so funny :confused:

    For me, the funniest line in the movie is after Tommy tried to wind up Lindsey, sees Myers carrying the body and starts screaming. Laurie tries to calm him down and says he's scaring Lindsey .. but then she turns on Laurie and says:

    "I believe you, Tommy"

    I laughed at this bit, as always .. and yet nobody else did :confused:

    People are weird, very weird!

    I fear for the future of cinema when a classic like Halloween receives that treatment, I really do!

    I hear ya.

    I'm glad someone else agrees! Scary Movie and the abundance of cheap trash slashers in the last 30 years really have a lot to answer for.

    Every time Michael appeared then vanished there was laughter. Why? Well because, admittedly, Scary Movie did an excellent parody of this.

    Everytime Curtis put down the knife people laughed. Why? Because of that little shít Randy in Scream 2 dissecting the slasher genre. It's a real pity but hey, one more off the bucket list, Halloween in a cinema was still awesome!

    Only wish I could make Romero on Sunday!

    yeh it was indeed people telling some tool who i think might even have answered his phone 4 times! to shut up. We were on the right too but could hear him and it Totally ruined
    bob's slashing
    :( I was glad people were telling him to shut the F up! I've never actually heard anyone use the phone/take a call in the cinema before! And it wasnt just like, "i;m in the cinema, call me after" it seemed to be a minute/couple minutes at a time. Maybe he was just hammered? I think that might have contributed to the laughing. People just weren't taking it seriously ;)

    I;ve not seen any of them but sounds like you could be right. It's always terrified me before, but one of my friends came with me who hadn't seen it before and she laughed throughout, and i mean she was really in stitches.:rolleyes: I think a lot of the laughter might have been people who hadn't seen it before, ie hadn't seen it when they were 8, and so it doesn't scare the bejaysus out of them as a matter of course!

    "I believe you, Tommy"

    I laughed at this bit, as always .. and yet nobody else did :confused:
    I never found this funny, he SAW the boogey man and Jamie nerd curtis won't believe him! only stupid linda will
    but then
    People are weird, very weird!
    :pac:

    There was a guy sitting near me who I though was gonna climb accross the cinema to get to him, he was furious.

    He had a gorgeous stunning chick with him and not one WORD did he speak to her throughout the movie, now THERE'S a film buff :)

    Yeah, I did hear a bottle fall over that side also, maybe selling wine is not the greatest idea.

    But Lindsey didn't see him and Laurie is protecting her and Lindsey is hanging on to her for comfort .. then just changes and you can tell she is only saying she believes as she has a crush on Tommy.

    Ahh, kids today with your Screams and I Know What You Did Last Summers, spoiled I tells ya :)

    On another note, I never noticed the Pedo gag before ..

    Where Bob says: "First we'll off each other's clothes and then we rip off Lindsey's clothes :eek:

    Jaysus, you wouldn't hear something like that said today me thinks :p

    Some couple had a 90 minute loud whisper session on the extreme right all throughout the Exorcist rolleyes.gif

    I had moved near the front for that, to get away from the cupid's little whisperers :p

    On a totally different issue, the nipplege on that girl in the Texas Chainsaw Massacre was awesome.

    If I was the director, she would have been running down that road topless, I can tell ya .. biggrin.gif

    I was at Halloween too. :) Epic. Much better at night time than it was in the double bill last week.

    There were two elderly gentlemen in the lobby before the flick, kinda looked like hobos and I thought they were just in from the cold. But they came into the flick. Those were the guys who were on the phone or talking or whatever. That fella who was furious was sitting in front of me and I thought he was gonna climb over to get them to stfu! O_o

    As or the laughing...well I laughed. Not continuously and not at stupid stuff (though I did giggle at Annies death face!) but some of that movie is straight up funny!
    "I need a place to-"
    "****!"
    "I have a place for that laurie!" :D

    But on the other hand, I did jump when
    He stepped in front of the door when Laurie was dropping off the keys, when he came out of the press to attack bob, when Dead Bob came out of the press at Laurie!
    Well I jumped alot!

    That may have been me that you're referring to. I was sitting next to the aisle and said "quiet please" twice, the second time more forcefully than the first. I was well annoyed as I thought it was seriously rude and ignorant to be taking 4 phone calls in the cinema. :mad: I was a bit surprised that more people didn't let this guy know that his behaviour was out of order as he might have shut up sooner under the weight of popular opinion / mob anger. :p

    On the positive side, it was really good to see this film on the big screen and great to hear that soundtrack in cinema stereo.

    I also just came back from this evening's double bill of The Mist and Let the Right One In which was great but surprisingly poorly attended for such a great value night of horror cinema.

    OMFG

    I was at The Room in The Sugar Club last night. PLEASE tell me someone else here was at it?!!

    I think it was possibly the best night out of my life! So so so so much fun :D everyone knew every line of the film, and it just made it so much fun, adding the rules of the room to it and all. Just such a laugh!! I'm an even bigger fan now!

    Screened the first friday of every month.... and i will definitely be going back!

    I would loved to have caught the halloween flicks but had far too much work on :(
    I'm not sure if I've seen Spinal Tap a little too much to go see it in cinema.

    It was €10 for this. but I don't know if that's what it normally is. It was great though. i'd suggest you see the film sometime anyway. It's brilliant.

    Does anyone know what won out of Aliens or They Live? They live would be great on the big screen, but Ripley's got to pinch it!
