Haha-a-a!!!
RouxB, reading your post made me actually do a spit-take! So glad I had already swallowed my coffee! Seriously, I burst into laughter at 'Doe C.' . Heh heh....yep.....still laughin'
I came to this thread today because I was just writing a note to Ellemeno and brought up our time together at the Castro Theater. And, of course when I thought of that, I started laughing out loud thinking of what she said to me during the movie. I'll retell it for JPWagoneer1964, with the understanding that the incident is something that makes ME laugh every time, not necessarily anyone else!
When all of us were at the Castro Theater in San Francisco to watch 'Brokeback Mountain' on the big screen, I was happily seated between Ellemeno (Clarissa) and sfericsf (Eric). I was totally engrossed in the film, and eagerly anticipating the upcoming 'reunion kiss' scene (as many of us do). JUST as Ennis looks out, sees Jack, and starts down the stairs, Clarissa leaned over, partway raised out of her seat, and whispered in my ear, "I'm gonna go get some popcorn." Well, I started laughing,
shaking with laughter, I could barely contain myself and it took several minutes for me to stop. I'm the only one who heard her say that, so Eric and anyone else around us must have thought I was insane! Uncontollable laughter during this most beautiful, treasured, exciting kiss onscreen in the history of cinema??!! Elle later offered an apology, thinking that her idea of a joke may have ruined my film-viewing experience. On the contrary, it has provided me with laughter, EACH and EVERY time I think about it.... which, I think, was the premise of this thread?
I guess I need to offer apologies to any of the other theater patrons who may have been disturbed by my inappropriately timed glee!
And, thanks to Ellemeno for a laugh that will last a lifetime.
