I like the clapping and stuff that happens in theaters. Especially in this year of 2017. Large outbursts of positive emotion feel good

cargohills posted:I'm sorry but she's right. My group went to a 10:40PM showing on Friday night. I personally enjoy it when the audience vocally reacts to moments in a film that are meant to invoke feelings of over excitement. That's part of the reason why I like to see highly anticipated tentpole movies on opening night. It's an experience. I can go watch the film for $5 on Tuesday matinee for a more quiet screening. I go on opening night because hype levels are going nuclear and to revel in the atmosphere.

Clapping and cheering in a theater is fun. My crowd this year was kinda subdued compared to TFA two years ago. I’ll never forget the roar from the crowd when Rey catches and ignites the lightsaber at the end of TFA. For all its flaws that moment was amazing.

You Amerikkkans are so loving dumb. When something exciting happens in a movie we foreigners just incline our head slightly and give the tiniest of smiles. You Yankee fucks probably have the audacity to laugh at funny things.

You can enjoy things without clapping, and this is what the cinema experience is like in different cultures.

I got sat in the middle of a really raucous, large crowd for TFA, which was a really great experience. The crowd pop for the Millennium Falcon coming into frame, boy howdy.

I go to the cinema to see a movie when it comes out on a big screen, not to partake in a "shared experience". (This is doubly weird because nobody I have ever asked in person has experienced clapping in a film before the end credits. It's a very sharp cultural divide that results in Americans talking about something that they think is universal only for other people to be baffled by it.)

Because I want to enjoy it with other people. I want a community experience when it comes to big movies. If I don't I'll see it on a weekday in the morning where no one will be there.

And this may be the wrong thread to advocate for total quiet since an early sign that Star Wars was gonna do well was people flipping the gently caress out at the first shot of the spaceships passing overhead.

To clarify, my problem is with people loudly cheering. Which has happened to me, and I wish they wouldn't do it, as I have missed lines as a result of it.

Its only happened to me in a handful of movies, but its nice to get a collective emotion going for a few big/badass moments. My theater missed literally nothing, the clapping was over well before any kind of dialogue.

With all the things theaters are doing to make movie-going a better experience, maybe they should put headphone jacks in the arm rests for these loving curmudgeons that don’t want human emotion infiltrating their Star Wars.

My theatre was mostly silent aside from laughs and quiet talking (e.g. when Snoke died) and I heard mostly positive things on my way out. I didn't really stop to listen because it was late and it was cold. And that's my Star Wars theatre-going story.

I love Rogue One, I think I've made that clear. And I loved TLJ (I think; I'll wait until the immediate post-watch buzz has died down to form a more solid opinion), and the funny thing is, it's for some of the exact opposite reasons as Rogue One. R1 feels like a very focused, consistent movie, where Edwards had a specific vision for a type of Star Wars story that hadn't really been done in the franchise (in movie form, at least) and everything in the movie is purposed towards the end of delivering that vision. TLJ on the other hand, is Rian Johnson's gloriously unchecked id. It's him being given a chance to do Star Wars and going nuts, throwing the whole drat kitchen sink in and then some. It's big and weird and sprawling and doesn't always cohere, but by god, is it fun to watch. It is, in short, the most like George Lucas' Star Wars this franchise has been since he left it, so no wonder it's going to be controversial. It's not perfect - the entire Poe/Holdo/fleet plot just feels kind of weird, and it's paced really oddly slow for a movie where everything else is so breakneck; the beginning of the movie took a while to click for me, with the tone going a little too self-aware at times; Canto Bight is a narrative dead end, but it's a lot of fun so I forgive it; it's got a few too many climaxes - but it gets Star Wars in a way that TFA didn't. It's the Star Wars that gave us the cantina sequence and a backwards talking Muppet samurai monk and a slug crime boss and a water world inhabited by grey aliens. It's a Star Wars that feels unbounded, and not just pushing around the stuff people loved as a kid back in 1977. And not to poo poo on TFA too much, but it's kind of funny that a lot of people (including myself) assumed that it would look better in retrospect after we knew the answers to all its mystery box questions. TLJ answers most of those questions, but the answers are interesting in a way that makes the movie asking the questions look more boring for hiding them. It's like, "Why were you making this a mystery when you could have been doing this cool poo poo instead?" Example: I was convinced Rey had to be a secret Skywalker to make that plot worth its time, and not only did they make her a child of nobody, they made that reveal a really awesome character moment between her and Kylo. Also my audience was no fun, there wasn't a single reaction to Luke doing the Force Hologram thing and I had to stop myself from reacting noisily even though that was the best drat moment of the film.

No matter how rowdy the crowd, it is bad when they prevent viewers from hearing what the characters are speaking. Apparently this is a controversial opinion now.

I have no idea how they got that many rotten vegetables into the theater. About halfway through I shouted "when is this going to be over!?" and the entire theater started cheering. When the movie was over the entire audience went to the lobby and demanded their money back and then trashed the life sized cardboard cutout of Luuke Skywalker while screaming "NOT MY LUKE SKYWALKER!!" And then a marine punched me in the face. That marine, was an atheist bear named Abraham Lincoln.
