Kind of a knee-jerk Springer "oh no you didn't!" response?
Maybe that's it. It makes more sense than actually thinking it's funny. Still, that moment is just so sad!
It was a mixed crowd - I'd guess about 85% straight (although who knows?) although there were a few gay male couples and lots of groups of women. The thing that surprised me was the *age* of the crowd. I'm 35 - so when I say older, I mean older - 60+.
This doesn't really surprise me. I expected to see a lot of older couples because whenever I go see something controversial, "risque", or both, there seem to be a lot more older people. Especially at little art theatres, there are always a lot of older couples. I think because those kinds of films are thought to be highbrow and "cultural." But at the same time, I can't imagine my grandparents seeing this movie. At my theatre, there were mostly 30-somethings, but I've heard since that many older couples have been going to see it.
It was gorgeous.
Sounds wonderful! I'm afraid I didn't notice many audience reactions as I left the theatre . . . I had broken my shoe and had to walk very carefully to keep it on.
like the knee-bopping, chain-smoking moment at the window as Ennis waits to see Jack for the first time since Brokeback
loved that, so much. And yes, I'll definitely have to go back and rewatch a lot.
hell, I just realized that King Kong had racial subtext
Dude. That aspect was just . . . just weird. I have a review to post on that movie, too. I thought it sucked so so hard.
