I know but I loathe those kind of slasher horror movies. I mean, the whole movie is one giant cliché but it being aware if itself made it pretty good.
The stoner dude and the red head were cool.
Did anyone clap on your plane when it landed? I always feel like telling everyone on the plane that does that that they're complete idiots. Same goes for people who clap in a movie theater.
The only time people clapped when I was on a plane was when the pilot made the most AMAZINGLY perfect landing. It was deserved.
lol. When I've gone to Montenegro there would be 2 flights. One to Germany or Austria and then one from there to Podgorica in Montenegro. So the 2nd flight is obviously filled with Albanians and Serbians. The pilot would always get a fucking standing ovation when we landed hahahaha so funny
I'm a network administrator. I'm going to start asking for applause when I do my job.
Email's flowing? Guess who's getting a standing O? This guy!
I clapped on a plane one time ironically because it was a fucking awful flight. It was one of those condescending slow claps.
I bet the pilot cried himself to sleep that night.
DAMN YOU 22F!!
In retrospect, I should have given a fake thumbs up with a 'Real good job there chief' as well, but you live and learn.
But then, I have major control issues, so I think any plane I'm riding in is being flow horribly and that if they'd just let me fly the damn thing everything would be alright.
And no, before you ask, I can't fly planes.
When I went to the midnight showing of Watchmen I expected there to be a bunch of clapping at the end but the entire theater was silent. There were a bunch of people in costume and stuff too, you could feel the disappointment dripping from the ceiling. Maybe that was something else though...

Dave is anti-clapping? I didn't know
I like it when people applaud in a movie theater, it's an attempt to show appreciation as a community!
My favorite experience at a theater was in a tiny little redneck town, and the one theater had two screens. I went to see Serenity opening night. I was all kinds of excited, but figured it would be basically me and some friends, since ya know, redneck town, not a lot of nerds...
The show was sold out. People were singing the "Ballad of Jayne" in line. People dressed up. It was amazing, I thought that only happened in actual cities. The whole theater burst into the Firefly theme before the movie started. It was awesome.

I will tolerate it when it's a fandom sort of movie, like Marvel/DC or some big scifi franchise. When people clap after something like Django I don't like it.

But the community is applauding to no one but themselves. It only has substance when the accolades are received by the person or persons deserving of them.
I don't like you.
I'm so jealous of you.
You are misinterpreting the objective. No one expects the appreciation to reach those it is directed toward; the idea is to share it! It's fun!
I concede that it is absolutely not appropriate for all films.

I think that's why he made that face for his avatar. It can be used in all situations.
The flu? A few years ago I never had (something) so bad... barely made it 5 feet to the toilet to pee in the middle of the night I was shivering so bad. It was mid summer and I had some random fever. El terrible.
Yep, that's dave.
I love when people Avatar quote me during RP months. They play right into my hands.I think that's why he made that face for his avatar. It can be used in all situations.

Guys, guys....guys...we had feta spinach chicken sausages with multigrain onion rings and mini s'mores for dinner. It was awesome.

There's a couple mini s'mores left....though they are super easy to make.
I agree with Hawkian. Clapping at a movie theater is not much different from cheering/yelling at a sports game on TV. It can be pretty damn fun if people cut loose and just go with making constant ridiculous commentary (like at screenings for terrible movies).
Considering how long you sit in a theater with strangers, having a shared experience of some kind, it seems weirder to not ever interact with your fellow humans.

I hate when people do this but that would probably stem from me not finding televised sports interesting, so people just seem nuts doing it when I come across it. x:
Vanilla Bean.
Clapping at movies is awful. I can't make fun of people who yell at the TV during sports because I do it when I watch Starcraft...
It's even more fun with televised pro wrestling.

Being around people yelling "Go fuck yourself!" to a TV kinda just makes me want to leave. x:

Nobody ever cheers or claps at a movie where I live, and it usually feels like a funeral march on the way out. I'd like to be in a lively crowd for once.
yum. that would go good with mini s'mores. too bad you live way over there
*flies over on a unicorn for gelato and s'mores*

Clapping is done for the benefit of the artist or performer, whom are not present at a typical movie screening. Unless you're clapping for the projectionist, I don't understand why you would do it. It's obviously a cultural difference.

No, it can also be communication within an audience.

Welp I catching up with this thread and about to post this. I have never witnessed anybody clapping at the movies. Do you guys clap at home after watching a tv movie? After the 8 o'clock news perhaps?

Not where I live.
We clap at stage plays but never, ever at a cinema. We also don't cheer or boo before, during or after the event. And if a baby cries, there are trained staff on point ready to shake it to death.
