saw Romeo Must Die in downtown St. Louis, the crowd reaction every time Anthony Anderson came on screen was HUGE
Raising the always fun question: What are your most memorable theater-going experiences?
Mine also include The Matrix, Blair Witch, and being way too stoned in Belgium when Fellowship of the Ring was sold out so we sat in the back row for Mulholland Drive instead.

It was hands-down one of the most memorable theater-going experiences I can remember, a collective 30-minute butt-clench/armrest-grab for the final climb. And we knew he lived! Wild.

Love that Ozymand'
Sculptin' with his hammer and a'-
Workin' with his hands
Never was a quitter
In this land devoid of raindrops
You've got to look!
And he goes
Nanananana...
Sculptin' with his hammer and a'-
Workin' with his hands
Never was a quitter
In this land devoid of raindrops
You've got to look!
And he goes
Nanananana...
Your chilly sneer
Of cold command
Your trunkless legs
Upon the sand
Once awed the Persian, Turk,
And Damascene
A pedastal
Beside your smirk
Proclaims “Look up,
You lazy jerk!
Behold the mighty work
Of great
Jolene.”

i never saw two trunkless legs
i never hope to see 'em
but i can tell you, anyhow,
i'd rather see than be 'em
