If anyone saw this in the theater, do you remember this?


I saw this movie in the theater. Twice. I didn't like the ending much.

I remember seeing "The Abyss" in the movie theater because there is a point where Bud is descending in his pressure suit way down, falling, falling, falling towards the bottom of the ocean.

They don't hear from him for a while and think he may have been killed, but then he say, or I think writes on his screen that he sees a light.

Both times I saw it in the theater someone shouted out ... it's a BUD LIGHT, and everyone laughed for a second.

Did anyone else have that experience?

That's a classic example of humor to take away from feeling uncomfortable. It's a normal response, but inappropriate. It's not funny at all, but it takes away from the experience for others.

When I watched Seven, I remember laughing my ass off at the "F'n Yoda" line and realizing it was because the movie was so tense, I needed the release. I still feel bad about doing it.
