Do you clap at the end of films in the cinema?







No I do not!whats the point?The actors/film producers etc. don't know you're clapping.I don't give my television a round of applause for a particularly good episode of Come dine with me,why clap at a Cinema screen?

What constitutes a "particularly good episode" of that pile of detritus that the rest of my family seem to enjoy for some unaccountable reason.

I've never clapped at the end of a film.

Felt like BOOING a few times though.

Always seems weird when people applaud a good save or somesuch in the pub during a SKY game. Suppose its no weirder than shouting 'Oi ref!' at the screen, just seems it.

I clapped once at the end of the last Lord of the Rings....but just out of sheer delight that the bloody thing had finished at last

Rocky IV, loads in the cinema were chanting "ROCKY ROCKY" when he was fighting the Russian.

*cringe*
I was in the Brighton Odeon for that. Awful.

Cant stand people that clap at the end of the Cinema, it just feels so cheesy and sad.

BTW, i went and saw Project X on the weekend, highly recommend it....quality film revolved around and epic party full of tits, fit girls, tits and more tits.

To go off on a slight tangent, is anyone getting totally f***ed off with general behaviour and cinema etiquette these days? I went to see this Best Exotic film the other night around 9pm and a couple brought a toddler in with them

I love kids, dont get me wrong, but a late evening cinema screening is totally unreasonable unless they are totally asleep. The gurgling and squeeling was getting right on my tits.

Also - when did it become socially acceptable to natter through the trailers? The trailers are sometimes my favourite bit of the cinema experience....

I’ve only been to the cinema about a dozen times (hate the places) but I remember Titanic got a standing ovation when I went, I was completely staggered to be honest.

I'm sure I remember people clapping at the end of several films when I was gowing up in the 1970's including Star Wars at the Brighton Odeon.

Spent nearly 40 minutes in the cinema watching trailers the other day before the film actually started....it's a piss take, no wonder people get bored and end up chatting.

Maybe it was an age thing - being the film it was, there was hardly anyone in there under 40!
