We saw the movie opening weekend before any of this nonsense and my 10yo was about to pee himself the entire movie. He knows every bit of Minecraft minutiae and was constantly hitting me saying "dad dad dad they're about to do X!"

When the chicken appeared in the ring he lost it and said DAD IT'S GOING TO BE A CHICKEN JOCKEY!!!

This was well before the zombie dropped or line was uttered so I'm guessing this is something Minecraft kids were fired up about because it's a rare occurrence in the game or something.

He went bananas when it happened but I thought it was just something he was into.

Haha thats a pretty cool story. I just meant that the throwing popcorn and trashing theaters was dumb

oh it totally is.

But I grew up on Rocky horror at the varsity at midnight so theater goers have been doing dumb shite for decades.

This movie is going gangbusters… Jack Black all but confirmed the sequel with him saying he would love to explore that universe again, they left the teaser for a second at the end, and he’s heard discussions behind the scenes taking place.

I took my kids (age 7 and 9) to see this movie last weekend and it was the worst theater experience I have ever had.

It would be one thing if the teenagers in the theater were there to enjoy the movie, even if they were getting loud at times. But no, this was only about getting videos to post on the internet. The teenage boys behind us were extremely disrespectful with foul language and openly saying how they only need to make it to the chicken jockey scene. Me and my kids were covered in popcorn, slushies, and drinks.

Theater wouldn't kick them out and the kids knew it. The staff repeatedly told them to leave and they just laughed back at them.

What a shite show.

Took my 13 yr old this weekend and it was a really fun watch. It's been a long time since i have seen a movie where the entire theater sings along and has a good time. Son had a great time and I was glad that we went.

I have always been a fan of Jack Black and he plays perfectly for these cartoon movies (he killed it in Mario Bros too)

Of course, the row of high school kids who showed up wearing suits threw their popcorn bowls up in the air at Chicken Jocky and were then kicked out (when they sat down, and employee told them they would be kicked out if they did it)
