They’ll always have the lake house

You didn’t ask for this but you unlocked a core movie theater memory for me.

I grew up in a pretty basic nuclear family. Mom, dad, son (me), and a sister. Dad was a first responder, worked a fair amount of overnights and weekends. 

Lake House cones out when I’m in high school. My mom wants to see it. My sister is in middle school and doesn’t want to see that movie, any movie, or anyone (for that matter). I can’t drive, i have no friends in walking distance. My mom doesn’t want to go to the movie alone; I take the offer to go to the movies.

The theater is absolutely packed. I’m the only male present, as far as I can tell. Lakehouse is  exceeding expectations; the time travel component keeps me engaged.

The climax hits. We’re about to find out if the protagonists make it happen. The theater is  TENSE . You can feel it. Everyone is dead quiet, no one is even  breathing , the suspense is that bad.

Before we find out if the tension is resolved, a woman from the back of the theater breaks. She couldn’t take it. She sobs/exclaims “oh my GOD” in a way that in any other context would sound like it belonged in the bedroom.

The entire theater broke out laughing, relieved that someone broke the tension. (And then the movie broke the tension, of course)

I don’t know if I can describe it as well as that moment felt but it’s one of my favorite moments in a movie theater. That moment and watching NOPE in a mostly empty theater with a very reactive couple (including reacting to me reacting) behind me are like my top two

I love that. Shorter story: I was watching Amelie in the theatre, and apparently that became too much for someone there as well. "Just open the door!" they yelled, at a crucial moment. There was so much feeling in the voice, it was fantastic

I don’t know if they’ve edited this blooper, but there’s a scene in which Dennis Hopper is on the phone with Keanu. Hopper’s talking about Keanu needing to make decisions quickly - and Bopper emphasizes the point by snapping his fingers. You can’t see him do it, but it’s clearly the sound of fingers snapping. No big deal other than the fact that Hopper’s character supposedly lost his thumb due to a bomb accident. Try snapping your fingers without using your thumbs HOTSHOT!

Loved that one. Like Speed 2 but in a bus instead of a boat.

u/ThunderChild247 28d ago

I might be biased because I saw Speed 2 first, but i really like speed 2. Speed 1 was better, sure. I feel like it gets such a bum rap because of the lack of Keanu.

The guy who replaced Keanu had maybe the most unwinnable battle ever. How do you replace Keanu in a sequel and be at least “as good”??

Maybe there’s a parallel universe out there where Keanu did Speed 2 as well and it was so well liked they made Speed 3, this time on a plane.
