It's crazy to imagine being in so many huge movies that you can't even bother to watch them.

That's hilarious
Superman died! Of course they left like that.
Rest
All these years later I still chuckle at what a fucking moron that guy is.
Hey man, if all you've got is a nonstory you need some clickbait to get people reading.Title of the article should've been "Michael Shannon falls asleep while in the middle of an international flight, as Batman v. Superman played in background"
But I guess it's a less zippy headline

Selective bolding there. His reason is why I don't like watching some movies for the first time on a plane. Although, sometimes you choose one you don't think you'd like but it's 17 Again and it is actually all right and Tom Lennon is delightful in it.
Can't blame him, the movie was riddle with problems was so heavy hand with its preachy message.
It also wasted Zod and Doomday.
I ensure you that British folks clapping at the end of the movies isn't a common thing.

Apparently many actors never see the movies they're in.
I personally don't think I could sit and watch myself on a big screen.

OMG. That was the biggest pop I've ever heard from a theater audience in my entire life. People were laughing so hard afterwards that I didn't find out what the next 2 minutes of dialogue was until it came out on dvd.

Fuck that. That would be fanfiction levels of terrible. They nailed that moment, (not only because of how well placed it is), but because of what it represents. Hence the absolutely cathartic reaction from the audience.

When you're right, you're right!
You ain't shit. Shannon is bae.

he should have at least stayed awake until the great scene where Wonder Woman is also bored and sitting on an airplane
I've fallen asleep in the theater a lot. I sleep well at a slight incline and with a terribly boring movie.
Most recently was the second Hobbit movie, which did me in something fierce.
No, I think this one was
Yup. I saw that movie four times in theaters, and I never once was able to hear him say "Puny god" as he walked away, even the fourth time, a month and a half after release.
Falling asleep doesn't necessarily make a film bad. Sometimes you just go to the theatre more tired than you ought to. I fell asleep during the "Goldeneye" segment of Inception, and I liked that film.
My showing went nuts during that scene as well. It was a midnight showing full of geeks though.

Yeah, definitely less zippy. I fell asleep watching it as well - at home about halfway through while giving it a second chance with the extended cut (so it was just longer and even more boring than the theater).

I have never seen a pic of Michael Shannon where he looks like he gives a single fuck.
Someone's never seen a comic book film opening night in the US.
No, I think this one was
Mentally going back to that moment... and I still get a giddy smile on my face watching this scene. I know everyone's seen it by now but...
... It really is that wonderful.
Well it is a boring film.

Water is not wet!
The only time ive ever seen anyone go crazy cheering was the ending of Diggstown and the ending of Die Hard
. Die Hard i saw at a drive-in and the horns were going off like mad lol

This clapping in a Cinema really isn't a thing in the UK.
At the start of movies we normally have messages telling the audience to be quiet and be absorbed by the movie.
Missing a piece if dialogue cause the audience were cheering and clapping would annoy the fuck outta me.

UK midnight release audience for Star Wars TFA was real lively. Cheering when the title scroll started, when Han and Chewie appeared, when Leia and Threepio appeared, when R2 appeared and just one big collective gasp at the scene in the quoted gif below and when Luke appeared.
I get chills even seeing a gif of this because the music starts playing in my head.

this is still the best answer Shannon has had about Batman vs Superman
Michael Shannon
Im so utterly unconcerned with the outcome of that fight. So profoundly, utterly unconcerned. I cant even come up with a fake answer. I guess I have to root for Superman because he killed me, so I would hope that he would continue his killing spree and become like a serial killer Superman. Thats a new take on Superman. Wed all be in a heap of trouble if Superman was a serial killer. He could just wipe us all out. But then hed be lonely.
Isnt he already lonely?
Well, were all lonely.

It isn't a common thing. I've only see it at big moments in genre movies. Midnight opening, nerd films that have extremely enthusiastic audiences. The type of people that clap for the title card of something. It gets you into it, I remember there being audible gasps in unison during the big lightsaber moment in Force Awakens. That combined with the scene gave me chills.
What's starting to get weird is the clapping for a movie after it's done. For a real crowd pleaser, I'd sorta get it. These people are trying to express their satisfaction for the movie in some way even though the creators aren't there. But when people start clapping at the end of Suicide Squad or Batman v Superman, I had to just shake my head and leave as soon as possible. The bar is so low that your movie gets claps because it had comic characters in it now.
Human beings on earth? Kinda questions is this lmao.
Where do you live?
Wow thats crazy restraint then. Starwars in particular was loud as fuck during hype parts of the movie here.
Exactly, lol.
I had to walk out and walk around a bit during the early parts of the movie, it could not hold my attention at all. When I came back, turns out I ended up skipping the part with Jimmy Olsen, but had no regrets. By the end, it was just a bafflingly terrible movie,
In movies like these, women are a minority. Like, by far.
