I hate it when people clap/cheer at the end of movies. iin?

That's why I sit at the top sections. So I can dump my drink/popcorn onto them when they do something obnoxious.

They think themselves safe; immune. Free to speak their foolishness. But my acidic Cola will be a stern teacher. The stickiness will long remind them of their fatal error.

A friend of mine and I once applauded and cheered like crazy at the end of a movie, but that's because we were literally the only people in the theater besides one guy who was on his phone the whole time. It wasn't even a good movie.

Sometimes I clap in movie theaters, but that's the only place where I will. I hate clapping anywhere else. In fact, I just posted a story about it.

I clapped at the end of Ponyo, and somehow the whole theater joined in. I didn't even think it was that great.

On the other hand, I tried to start some applause after Looper (a good movie) and no one cared.

i can tell you one thing your british ;)

By the way, the Twilight standing ovation was what I heard from others, and the Justin Bieber banner one was what I saw online.

It makes me shake my head, and even facepalm that you watched Justin Bieber's movie and Twilight in the first place.

I've never experienced it, but I definitely see your point.

I think it's funny because no one can actually hear them XD
If it is a play or a film festive where there are people that really care about how the crowd reacts, I see it more than reasonable but it just confuses me at movie theaters. Who the hell are you clapping TO?

When I was growing up, everyone clapped at the end of a great movie. It's almost unheard of now. Bad movies maybe?
I've never experienced whistling or a standing ovation for a movie. Oh excuse me. I did once. A very long time ago. The movie was Norma Rae with Sally Field. Excellent movie.

i like it so much better than booing

Standing ovation for Twilight? Facepalm is not enough.
And then people wonder why I'm hoping for a zombie apocalypse.

Lmao that is hilarious. I've been in a theatre when people clapped after a movie. but holding up a banner & screaming is ridiculous lol

Why would anyone clap or cheer? I can sorta see why you would at the end of a good movie like the Dark Knight but its not like Christian Bale is going to hear you and appreciate the fact that you thought his movie was good. This would piss me off so much if it happened when I went to the movies.

Better than- naw man I ain't gonna go there, fuck that.

That is a first, I never experienced a situation where the audience in a movie theatre clapped after a movie.

But here is another IIN question, is it normal people stay and watch the entire credits at the end of a movie?

I used to come from a fairly non-demonstrative country and we used to just say, "Oh, that was good" to the person sitting next to us. We don't cheer at films yet but that little trait is probably in the post. My annoyance is with members of the general public who start weeping uncontrollably whenever a camera is on them.

It's not even a "stiff upper lip" thing. Most of them don't have anything to cry about in the first place. I've seen someone cry because their grandmother had other plans and couldn't be there that day. We're making ourselves a laughing stock.

Without a doubt you are American. Move out of your country and you won't witness that ever again.
