That's hilarious, MrFriendly.

My husband and I went to see The Passion of the Christ a couple of weeks after it came out. We went right after I got off of work, so I hadn't eaten in awhile and was pretty hungry...it's not really a popcorn flick, but I got some anyway. We sat down in the mostly empty theater; we were the only ones in there that were younger than 60. No one else had popcorn; they all had sweaters and serious looks on their faces.

About 15 minutes into the film, there is a very quiet part with a snake slithering past; Jesus then stamps on the snake and it is pretty damn loud. It startled me and my popcorn bag and I jumped several inches out of my seat. Popcorn went flying. It was all over me and in my hair, all over the seat next to me (thankfully unoccupied), and all over my husband.

We giggled for the next five minutes. Uncontrollably. During a very serious, very unfunny movie. I doubt all of the older folks found it amusing and were probably aghast that we were laughing during a movie about Jesus. It was definitely the best 5 minutes of the movie.
