My wife and I saw MI:2 this weekend, and during the breaking into the lab scene, when Tom Cruise starts up the computer to destroy the virus, I lean over to my wife and say:
“Its a UNIX system, so all he has to do is type ‘kill -9’”
Thankfully my wife is a geek at times, so she got the joke.
So, what geeky jokes have you made during a movie?
Same movie, I said how can she not see his mask is phoney.
The Made in China mark is on the earlobe she’s nibbling.
During ‘Gladiator’, I leaned over to my girlfriend and said, “This is good, but it’d be a whole lot better with Howie Long.” Then said the same thing four days later at MI:2. She seemed to get a kick out of it.
I think it was Timecop with JC VanDamme. They were talking about carbon dating gold and my husband said “How can you carbon date gold? It was never alive!!!”
And I almost screamed; “Data! NOOOOOOOOO!” blush :o
Again, during MI:2, right before the motorcycle scene, they scanned a viral sample to see if it was real. Within seconds, the entire DNA sequence popped up. I had 2 thoughts: no way do we have that technology yet, and if they already had the DNA sequence, they really don’t need the real virus - they could recreate it.
Not mt geeky thought, but a good story …
I saw “Straw Dogs” at MIT many years go. (MIT is always a good place for unbridled reactions by the audience.)In the film, Dutin Hoffman plays a theoretical astrophysicist. At one point his wife, angry with him, goes by a blackboard on which he has ritten an extremely long and complex equation. Somwhere in the midle of this she erases a plus ("+") sign and replaces it with a minus ("-") sign.
Someone stands up in the middle of the thater and yells “I’d kill her!”
Durring that Dracula movie with keanu whats his name there is a scene. The scene is when the old guy is about to stake that lovely redhead. As he lifts the stake in a dramatic manner I hollar “Hey Baby how would you like your steak!”
This was perfectly timed because the old guy turned to look at the camera(looking for reasurace from the men with him)everyone in the audiance also turned to look at me.
I was saved by some fool in the front row yelling “meduim rare!”
was a clasical moment.
