Mrs Boat and I saw Neon Demon opening week and there were about a dozen people in the cinema. One couple left less than an hour in, well before it went full on bonkers. We both loved it and she's not much of a Refn fan.

Australian audiences are like adults who watch quietly and enjoy the movie without bothering everyone around them. American audiences are like a big group of children, all noisy and braying but enjoying themselves immensely. Not sure which is better though I prefer the first, but both seem to have a good time.

I watched Prometheus at the iMax at the Melbourne Museum and the only time anyone even made a peep was during the medpod scene. It was a fantastic experience. Everyone was so locked-in, and since it was a late-night showing, there weren't many snackers.

Do you Americans actually do the 'shouting at the screen' thing? I've seen it in films with scenes set in a cinema and always assumed it was one of those lovely, done to death cliches with no basis in reality. Do you also scream out loud when you are reading a book with an especially dramatic scene? What's the generally accepted social rule for this? If I visit your fine country, would it be a faux pas if I hollered at full volume whilst on public transport?

I went to see Star Wars 7 in Dubai, in a theater filled with probably American expats. They clapped any time someone from the OT appears. Watching Get Out in Bayswater, an immigrant-heavy area of London, was fun. There were a lot of cheering in the last part of the movie.

It remember it happening in Jurassic World and Shin Godzilla. Both were packed theaters, if that changes anything.

In the US you are literally aloud to go say "AAAWWW!" very loudly any time an animal appears on screen.

I've got a custom-modified megaphone that I take with me to the theatre, so I can shout my sick rifftrax right at the screen at 100 decibels. It's got built-in strobe lights that go off when I pull the megaphone trigger, and a bunch of built in sound effects like an air horn, "generic sitcom laugh track", yakety sax, etc.

Theater commentary from small children in animated movies is the best because they're not trying to be funny or edgy, its sincere, and often (unintentionally) funny as hell. The only adult that has ever made me appreciate their commentary in the movie theater was during Final Destination, when the blonde girl gets hit by the bus unexpectedly, some black guy at the back of the theater just yells out, and I quote: "DAAAAAAMN, bitch got hit by a BUS!" The whole theater was laughing their asses off. Both before and after that moment, no one made a peep the entire time. It was so perfect; it remains my favorite part of that movie.

Probably my favorite theater moment of all time was when a guy in the very back row who had somehow snuck in like ten beers in glass bottles accidently knocked all his empties over and they came rolling down the concrete steps underneath the seats, completely drowning out the movie until they finally came to rest at the bottom level of the theater. Afterwards there was a moment of silence and then from the back row "haha whoops"

When my wife was younger she and some friends snuck in a big bottle of southern comfort into a packed theater. She accidentally kicked the bottle over, which was about 2/3 full, and it noisily clanked and rolled down the entire theater under the seats, spilling a trail of soco behind it. Not only was the racket distracting but the whole theater smelled like soco.

My wife and I saw drag me to hell in a mostly empty theater, and about two rows behind us was an elderly black couple. The man was an amazing stereotype except his comments were gold. Everytime the lead had something happen to her, he'd yell put about "that's what happens when you take an old woman's house you dumb white girl." Lots of stuff along those lines. My favorite was after the kitten scene. "If that girl lives at the end I'm going to make a sequel and kill her was to avenge that kitten." Needless to say he clapped like crazy at the end. I bought the film later on and, although I really like it, no viewing has lived up to that first one. Dude had us cracking up the whole time. And yes his wife was pissed by the time it was over.

Seconding that little kids in movies are hilarious. I saw Kung Fu Panda in a theatre full of small children. When the villain looks like he's defeated by the five, there was an audible gasp of relief from every child there, followed by a shout of alarm, when they quickly realise that he is in no way defeated and is charging up the fallen bridge. It was a reminder of how much the viewing experience changes when you're less media literate, when you can't see all the plot beats from half a mile off.
