thoroughly enjoyed myself at the midnight showing of Episode I, not because of the movie itself, but because of the ridiculous amount of energy both in the line outside the theatre and in the theatre itself.

Same here. And I enjoyed the opening of LotR for the same reason.

I remember way back when, seeing 'Aliens' when it first came out. At a particularly intense part of the movie, I could actually hear a collective 'Oh Shit' from the audience. Good stuff.

That was a fun night. Lots of kooky costumes, and people getting up in front of the theater to make fools of themselves for everyone's enjoyment.

And then there were the people that weren't us....

Good times...

Heh. I still need to see that movie. I avoided it becuase me no likey horror, but everyone keeps telling me it's more action than horror.

In the collective audience reaction department, there's the part in Serenity where it's incredibly clear who hasn't seen it before.

I always, for some reason, thought they were saying, "where the women flow and the men thunder..."

NYCistas-

What are the names of some large hospitals known for surgery in Kings, Queens, and Richmond counties. We are working on a grant to train some NYC nurses to be surgical first assistants and we need some letters of agreement from hospitals.

Thanks so much if you can...

It was scarier back when the Alien creature wasn't as much of a cultural icon. Good action movie.

Yeah, when I saw Aliens in the theater, the line where Ripley says "Get away from her you bitch!" (whitefont for Kalshane) got the biggest audience response.

Well, rhyming thunder with thunder is kind of weak....

(Chunder is Aussie slang for puking, IIRC)

"where the women flow and the men thunder..."

They sing two similar lines in the song, Sophia. One is, "Where women glow and men plunder," and the second is, "Where beer does flow and men chunder." They both come before, "Can't you hear--can't you hear the thunder."
