'not a character, but a single shot - there's THAT moment at the end of "Carrie"...' Ha-ha-ha! You just made me remember that when I saw that in the theater, the entire audience rose about a foot into the air... "All together now..... Jump!!" (me too). Speaking of walking out on movies, the only one I can remember walking out on was 'Independence Day' which I saw in an I-max theater when I was on vacation in New York. Even seats shaking and stupid sound effects couldn't hold me after the first dreadful hour. When I saw the president of the US of A climb into a fighter jet, I was out of there. I shoulda known better than to go in. mac
