Here's the thing:
Remember the scene in Indiana Jones: Raiders of the Lost Ark where Jones and Marion and being sealed in the tomb and just as the ceiling is being closed and darkness engulfs both of them - Marion screams.
Well, just as the lights go out in the theater, my friends wife likes to scream at the top of her lungs. She does this everytime we go see a movie. She's a huge Raiders of the Lost Ark fan and does it exactly for this reason. Makes me laugh everytime.

I'd kick her ass if she did that in my home theater without telling me, or even a public theater for that matter, but maybe it's just me.....

Problem is most people would have no idea why or from what she was screaming.
And that would annoy me too.
Bring back John Doe! Or at least resolve the cliff-hanger with a 2hr movie or as an extra on a dvd release.

Maybe you two should've taken part in the Road Warrior tribute, too. |

Sounds a bit immature to me. If she wants to do that home, great but the theatre is not her living room.

A bit?
Imagine you're in a theater. Lights are slowly going down, some woman suddenly screams "No!" at the top of her lungs...it doesn't even make sense. Colton and the wife and their party may laugh, but everybody else is liable to think she is being raped or attacked or just heard some terrible news on her cell phone or any number of things. It's not funny, it's stupid.
Colton -- does your friend's wife also pay tribute to Marion Ravenwood by knocking back a few dozen shots before going to the movies?

I think she does, but maybe her "No!" isn't as loud as I described. Maybe she should keep her tribute for when Raiders becomes more like a midnight cult show (re: Rocky Horror).

You should forward her the link to this so she can see how well she is loved.

I concur with all the negative assessments of this action. It sounds idiotic and pointless - a dopey in-joke that only serves to annoy most people...

As long as she doesn't interrupt the movie or even the actual trailers, I don't see the harm in it. It's not as if the movie immediately begins as soon as the lights go down. She could scream repeatedly through all the non-trailer ads as far as I'm concerned.
Don't you ever, EVER compare me to "Family Guy," you hear me Kyle? Compare me to "Family Guy" again and so help me, I will kill you where you stand!
Do you have any idea what it's like? Everywhere I go: "Hey Cartman you must like 'Family Guy,' right?" "Hey, your sense of humor reminds me of 'Family Guy' Cartman!" I AM NOTHING LIKE FAMILY GUY! WHEN I MAKE JOKES THEY ARE INHERENT TO A STORY! DEEP SITUATIONAL AND EMOTIONAL JOKES BASED ON WHAT IS RELEVANT AND HAS A POINT, NOT JUST ONE RANDOM INTERCHANGEABLE JOKE AFTER ANOTHER!
