5. Charlie’s Angels (2000?) - I’m not sure if it was part 1 or 2, but the very first scene begins with a phone or possibly a radio they use to speak to Charlie with. Either way, it was ringing and ringing. Nobody was there to answer it until a Hispanic lady, sitting somewhere in the movie theater said, “bueno?…bueno?” in between rings, like it was her own phone. The entire audience laughed.

4. Don’t Remember the Name (Oops) – A group of bratty high school girls sat at the very front of the row and decided to be annoying by singing and yelling out random things that had nothing to with the trailer. A person in the crowd shouted “Shut the hell up!”

The annoying main high school girl turned around and yelled back, “Who said that!?”

Then another random person in the crowd shouted, “Just turn back around!”

“Say it in front of my face!” The high school girl stood up, obviously trying really hard to look tough in front of everybody.

At this point, everyone in the theater started yelling and heckling at the girls. We were all just pretty fed up and annoyed by the disruptions they’ve caused, but after that little chaos, they behaved quite well.

3. Mortal Kombat (1995) – I was only seven years old at the time and Mortal Kombat was actually the very first movie I’ve watched in a movie theater. When the credits started rolling at the end, some random guy sitting in the back, screamed at the top of his lungs ”MORTAL KOMBAAATTTTTTT!!!!!!! I was impressed. He sounded just like like the original yelling voice in the kickass theme song. As a kid, I was in complete awe I could’ve sworn it was the same guy.

2. Snakes on a Plane (2006) – This is one of those rare movies you had to see with a large group of people, strangers or not.  When I went to see this movie alone, there were a lot of things that made the movie even better because of the crowd. I think it was just a combination of watching it with a fun crowd who happened to be really into the movie, and the fact that the movie is just plain silly. It kind of felt like I was in a really huge living room because everyone seemed so comfortable to a point where some of them yelled out stuff during the movie, which is usually unacceptable (see #4), but for this movie only it was suitable. For instance, some guy panicked and yelled out, “No…no…NO. Do not tell me the snake is going to bite her sweet tits!” We all laughed. Oh, and let’s not forget about the infamous Samuel L. Jackson line we’d all scream out in unison, everyone went berserk.

1. Signs (2002) – It’s that one stressful scene: Mel Gibson takes a kitchen knife, and he slides it slooooooowly under the door to catch a reflection of what was on the other side. As we were all in the moment of anticipation, a large Samoan guy sitting a couple of seats behind me abruptly stood up, brought his hands out and yelled “RAaaaaWWWWRRRRRR!!!” After that, all you could hear was everyone screaming at the top of their lungs, but it was quickly followed by everyone laughing hysterically (out of relief I’m sure).

Hello, I’m going to attend a karaoke party tonight and since I take karaoke pretty damn seriously, I’ve been keeping a mental list in my head of the songs I want to sing my heart out for this fun occasion. And like the good blogger I am, I wanted to share my list with you all.

Besides doing a couple of songs here and there from Lady Gaga and Nicki Minaj (of course), I’ve been trying to stick with a theme of songs which I use to adore in the late 90′s, early ’00s. During this fantastic time, it was the beginning of my teenage years. The pop and r&b songs I enjoyed were probably equivalent to currents songs people find horrifying today, but they were special to me and frankly, I didn’t give any fucks when I cranked the volume up to the maximum every time I heard them play on the radio.

10. Show Me Love by Robyn
This was practically the song I wanted to cry sing to the boy I loved even though he never really knew I existed in typing class. It’s slow, nice, and…pathetic, but it was pure genius when I was 13. Also, Robyn’s back in the music biz and she was touring with Katy Perry. In’t something or what? Forrow your dreams!

9. He Loves U Not by Dream
This song’s about girls hating on other girls, ’cause of a dude, and retarded stuff. Regardless, it was my 8th grade anthem and it kicked ass every time I played it over and over again after downloading it off of Napster. If I recalled correctly, this is probably one of the first groups Diddy created and the first group he fucked over pretty fast, so I think they deserve a little recognition here, even as little as singing their song in a karaoke room.

8. Bring it All to Me by Blaque
I thought Blaque was one of the most creative, fitting and sophisticated name anyone can ever think of for a music group consisting of blaque women. That is, to also say that I thought they were the most beautiful creatures to ever walked the earth, they were goddesses to me. This particular song was, simply put, sexy and cool, and that’s how exactly I felt whenever I sang along with it.

7. Playas Gon’ Play by 3LW
I’m not sure if people realize this but THIS song is really important to the internet. I believe, had this song never came out, we would never had the awesome and highly popularized meme that has been used over a thousand times, “HATES GONNA HATE“. As for the song, the rapping part always has sounded pretty lame to me.

Jayne did her list, and now here’s mine! WeeeeeEe

5. January Jones

"Hi, I'm beautiful, and I'm not really going to drink this milk."

Simple, gorgeous and sophisticated–she is the definition of classic beauty. I first heard about January during the time when Jason Sudeikis was banging her, but it was the movie Unknown (2011) that had gotten her my full attention. I couldn’t help but notice how little or simple her makeup was in the movie because she still managed to look like a perfect ten (HOW DO DEY DO DAT?!)

I get a sense that she’s assertive and confident…or perhaps just a stubborn and uptight woman. I don’t know, I’m really just judging off from a funny quote of her’s when asked about bitches and high school: “Where are you getting this shit? It sounds like something I might have said when I was, like, 15. The bitches in high school were bitches because I was pretty.”

Say what you will, but the blunt & bitchy attitude vibe I get from her is more entertaining instead of annoying, and it just makes her that more desirable (it also helps that she’s basically Emma Frost, can’t wait to watch the movie!).
