I remember in Revenge of the Sith, when the actor playing Vader yells "nooooooooo", at what is supposed to be the emotional climax of the trilogy, the theater roared in laughter.

Do you have other examples?

The Patriot (2000) dull Mel Gibson movie, as far as i can recall, anyway random dude gets head cleanly lopped off with a cannonball, buddies and i played too much UnrealTournament that day not to hear the "HEADSHOT" anouncer in our heads.

Is that theone where he's a mailman in a collapse scenario or is this a different dull Mel Gibson movie?

That's Costner in The Postman.

Aight, its just kinda in the part of my brain thats just kinda a mush called "weirdly boring nationalist movies" which is a surprisingly broad genre.

Yeah which is a shame because the premise was interesting. I don't think I've read any of Brin's works which this was based on.

Kinda hard to tell the difference at times. There's a lot less Shakespeare in The Patriot, though.
