i went to a test screening of War Horse and afterwards there was a simulcast q&a with Spielberg and he said he'd always shoot on film, never digital, and one guy in the theater started clapping.

my friend was at the movies and just as the previews ended one guy in the front row started booing and threw his nachos at the screen and the cup of nacho cheese hit the screen and slid down leaving a big cheese streak on it then ran out of the theater.

There are only ten times when it's appropriate to clap at the movies:

1.) "Let's hunt some orc"

2.) When Gandalf comes back

3.) When Theoden gets un-Sarumaned.

4.) When Legolas surfs on a shield.

5.) When the sun rises behind Gandalf's charge.

6.) "The ents are going to war"

7.) "That there's some good in this world, and it's worth fighting for."

8.) When Rohan shows up.

9.) When Aragorn and co. show up.

10.) "I can't carry it for you...but I can carry you! COME ON!"



It's also acceptable to cry during these scenes or while typing about them.

We only clap in cinemas if the director and actors of the movie are in the auditorium because they worked REALLY HARD at it.

Otherwise we get off our seats and get the gently caress outta there.

well what if I'm clapping for the guy with a lot of hand movement under the clothes, it looks like he's really working hard at it.

In junior high I went with a friend and his dad to see Battlefield Earth. It was an advance screening because a relative of theirs worked for the theater.

Anyways, friend's dad applauded at the end haha

He was kind of an idiot.
