OK, Why do people clap after movies?!! This is not a theatrical production people!!

[lokiju]

OMFG that was driving me nuts!! When I went to the Trilogy ever single time each movie ended everyone would go nuts clapping and cheering.

I can appreciate a good movie as much as the next guy but I do not feel the need to clap in appreciation to a movie screen.

 

[AMCRambler]

I clap to just to tick off the non-clappers! Maybe some of that Arsenio Hall hooting too! Oooo oooo ooooo!

 

[AMCRambler]

I used to know a guy who would try and rip huge ass during quiet parts of the movie, lol. Now that was funny sh!t!

I went to see ROTK yesterday and the audience also clapped (Belgium)

wtf

Must have been a ROTK subliminal message, that was where they clapped here as well. It would have been a great movie had they chopped off 45 minutes of Frodo and Sams homo-eroticism and replaced it with the return to the Shire from the book.

hahaa, agreed. Its like 10 minutes of them showing Frodo's face, then 10 minutes of showing Sam's face, that went on for way too long at the end there, just get it over with and do the deed already, lol.

i saw some guy clapping get pegged in the head by what looked like a jolly rancher. i laughed. gotta love high school kids.

The people who made it aren't there.. but the rest of the audience is. It's a way of sharing your appreciation for the movie with everyone else.

And btw, Eowyn killing the Lord of the Nazgul wasn't filler.. It was in the book. The idea was that he was killed by a hobbit and a woman.

Maybe all you anti-clappers should leave the movie theater a few minutes before the movie ends so that the clappers aren't offended by your lack of clapping when it ends.

How about people just STFU as the pre-movie message tells you?

DO NOT MAKE NOISE WHILE MOVIE IS PLAYING. If you insist on clapping, go to the bathroom and cheer the line of urinals. It'll have about the same appreciation factor for the actors as you clapping in the movie, but less people hating you.

Sure, as long as you don't make a peep during the movie, no laughing, no sighs, no crunching of popcorn, no candy wrappers crinkling, no soda slurping, no feet shuffling... oh... and DEFINATELY don't stand up unless you're in the back row... and then when you move you better not make a sound... better get out of there to leak your lizard Navy Seal style.

There's a difference between an unintentional laugh or a candy wrapper. You can't blame anyone for laughing... if you see something funny, you laugh. You cant force yourself not to. And candy is allowed in the theatre. If you dont like it, yell at the movie theatre, not the person. Regardless, all the examples you cited make a minimal amount of noise, and it really isnt disruptive.

A bunch of jackoffs all clapping together, though, is extremely annoying. And its not unintentional. Unless you're a retard, you can prevent your hands from spasming together.

We paid to hear the movie, not your misplaced appreciation for a giant inanimate plastic screen.

Because they feel like it.

Oh I'm not talking about clapping DURING the movie... that's as rude as answering your cell phone and carrying on a conversation. I'm only being half serious though

Oh... alright. In an earlier post you suggested the rest of us leave early if the clapping bothers us.

Feel free to clap away once the credits roll, even if i still think it's bizarre. :beer:

Yeah, that suggestion was made in jest with the intention to demonstrate how rediculous it is to complain about people clapping for a movie when it's over. I agree that clapping during a movie is annoying and disruptive... but after the movie's over you can run up and down the aisles screaming for all I care.
