My first year in College at Shreveport La I saw this movie when it came out.. You likely have no idea of Shreveport unless you are from the area or see the name whenever this is terrible storms coming out of Texas. Compounding things, I was not from Shreveport (a large unremarkable city)...I was from Natchitoches which is famous for Meat Pies and Steel Magnolias. To say that I was unprepared was understatement. Not that I was a rube, just I had to clue of the subject matter. My friends decided that this movie (which had tremendous buzz and an amazing cast) was to be the object of our Friday night boondoggle. I agreed since...hey who doesn't like a "war movie" (bastards) and they were told there was a twist.
To make this short...I was the dumbass that jumped up and yelled "oh shit!"...the entire and mean ENTIRE theatre turned to look at me. I am fairly certain the movie pause...
I didn't recover gracefully...I looked around...tried to sit down but ended up in a nice young ladies lap since I must have jumped...and then had to pop back up.
