applauding in a movie theater

[bigjohn]

Acceptable? Have you ever done it or been in a theater where it was done?

I was watching "White Men Can't Jump" at Eastland Mall in Charlotte (and yes I was one of the few honkys in the place). The place went CRAZY when Woody slammed that one through at the end of the movie-- I'm talking high fives and all sorts of hootin' and hollerin'.

That's really the only time I can think of a big time reaction like that in a movie.

I've only seen it happen a couple of times once the credits started to roll and thought that was fine. One example was The Kings Speech.

During the movie sit down and shut up.

I started a slow clap at the end of the last Harry P movie .. it actually worked sadly as I was just doing it as a joke but the kids in the back carried it around the room.

No I think it's kind of gay to do that. I normally stay for the credits though out of respect.

Star Wars was the only movie that happened.

Saw that movie too many times in the theater (original run) it happened all the time.

I remember everyone left Saving Private Ryan in absolute silence

Star Wars was the only movie that happened.

Same here! When that Death Star exploded the entire theater went crazy!

The other movie was Chuck Norris' "Missing in Action". When he rescues some POW's still locked away in a Vietnam prison camp. There were some cheers when he breaks into the meeting with them. (OF course, I think the audience was made up of mostly Vietnam vets.)

Only time I heard clapping in the theater was Lord of the Rings, the Two Towers at the big calvary charge scene. One guy started clapping. Everyone started looking at him funny. :)

I remember watching Saving Private Ryan and seeing the guy next to me crying. He looked old enough to be a WWII veteran, so maybe he knew what it was about. Didn't think less of him at all.

I had to piss too bad to move.

As soon as I see credits I bolt.
