I can count the number of times I've been to the cinema on one hand, so I can confidently say no. But there was one movie that made me boo it, loudly, in my home as I watched on my computer. There's a moment in the middle of the 14 hour La Flor when the movie stops suddenly (with a cut to a stop sign, no less) and the director walks in and says "please don't get up, this isn't the intermission yet" and proceeds to tell us how the movie will start incorporating flashbacks for the next couple of hours instead of having a strictly linear timeline. And I was pissed. There was no need for the director to step in and say all of this, there is nothing strange about putting flashbacks into the movie, why the hell are you stopping - And then he looks at his watch and says "You now have three hours and 25 minutes until you're done." And he gives the biggest shit-eating grin to the audience before the movie starts back up. I would have proudly thrown popcorn at the screen if I had the privilege to be forced to watch an ultralong arthouse movie at gunpoint watch this masterpiece in cinemas. (On a side note, the director leafs through his notebook in this interlude with illustrations of different scenes, sort of like Guillermo del Toro draws ideas in his notebooks... it was only on a second watch that I noticed they were drawn in crayon.) So, are there any movies you felt so strongly about that you spontaneously booed the screen, unable to stop yourself?

Hell no. What I am, in Cannes?

I audibly laughed when Leo breaks the 4th wall at the end of The Revenant but there were only like two other people in the theater. Never booed though. "Look at me suffering for YOU. Now give me that goddamn Oscar. I didn't climb into a dead horse to lose to Steve Fucking Jobs"

Not during an actual movie, but I went to a full house screening of the Oscars telecast at my local Alamo Drafthouse and loudly shouted "Fuuuuuuck thiiiiiis" when Shape of Water won BP.

During Rise of Skywalker, I audibly said "Come ooonnnn" during the granddaughter of Palpatine reveal.

Me and my gf have booed a couple of times - "ironically" when our crowd will "applaud" a bad movie too much .... So it's more making fun of them than booing the movie itself - which is a very pacinoyes-y move Jojo Rabbit was one - she booed, I hissed.....it's sort of fun when people look at you like "What are you a couple of......Nazis?"

Never booed, but the only time I ever unintentionally laughed in a cinema was when people started clapping at the end of Justice League, which is something that never happens over here for any movie so I was taken aback. Laughed even harder when they started clapping again when Jesse Eisenberg Lex Luther popped up in the end credits, like wtf is wrong with you guys?

Martin Stett you forgot the moment in La Flor, just before the fifth episode, where the director tries to leave, stops, turns to the camera says "Oh, I forgot. The four main actresses aren't featured here." Then gives an apathetic shrug, says "I found it more interesting this way" and walks away. I actually laughed out loud at that moment, but wanted to boo the director and his cocky ass. But he made a masterpiece so I just couldn't.

never. I'm not an obnoxious cannes attendee. And I also found quite cringy when people clap at the end of a movie, specially for something as bad as She Said... that was rough to experience...

I actually laughed out loud at that moment, but wanted to boo the director and his cocky ass. But he made a masterpiece so I just couldn't. The best part of that is that he says "we thought it was interesting" as he gives this little shrug, as if to say "well, it seemed like a good idea at the time." That's the idea I got from it anyway. He looks so glum and serious, as if he's saying "this was a terrible mistake." And then he thanks the audience for sticking around for "all those hours" and raises his eyebrows like he's saying "why the hell *are* you still here?" before hopping in his car as the overly dramatic Spaghetti Western music from episode 3 plays, and I laughed the whole time.

Granted, I don't go anymore... but I've never booed.
At home, though. Especially with what I watch nowadays, is entirely different. Rarely a boo, more of a "WHO IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS SHIT?!"

I was saying Boo-urns. No I haven't, but everyone clapped when I saw Spider-Man 2 and that's the only movie I've ever seen an audience clap for. Usually people just get up and leave

Oh honey, contrary to public speculation, my lawyers have already provided proof that I was never at Cannes in 2014 when Nicole was booed loudly for Dis-Grace of Monaco (or in 2012 for The Paperboy... despite sightings, I wasn't there).

I gave a sarcastic applause at the end of Mother (the rest of the theater was audibly groaning and pissed off lol) but that's about it.

Personally no, but a group of teens booed at the end of Rise of the Skywalker when Rey says her uh, chosen name. Then quite a few others applauded the booers. Lively screening
