Why do Americlaps clap at the end of a movie they watch at the cinema?

Pretty dumb tbh.

Naru · December 06, 2015, 12:58:46 AM

So?

None of the directors or actors can hear you clapping. It isn't live theatre

Jester · December 06, 2015, 01:03:19 AM

I clapped at the end of Creed five minutes ago

Context: I go to the cinema all the time and have never heard anyone clap.

CyberGama · December 06, 2015, 01:05:01 AM

The only time I ever heard anyone clapping at the movie theaters while watching is Jurassic World.

Girl of Mystery · December 06, 2015, 01:05:19 AM

Do you also clap at the end of a good song you listened to?

Luciana · December 06, 2015, 01:05:32 AM

People in my amazing Rome 2.0 country do that?

Why I never.... those....

...

Those HERETICS!

by this logic, no one should laugh in a theater, either

or smile

or react

it's less a way to congratulate the filmmakers and more a ritual of audiencehood--a way of saying, "yay, we enjoyed this movie"

i don't think it's that complicated

even still, out of all the movies i've been to, only once has an audience actually clapped
and that was at the end of deathly hallows part 2

After watching the Martian i initiated the clapping to see if what you said was true, it is a thing.

maverick · December 06, 2015, 01:07:44 AM

Haven't you made a thread about this before? It's not any more true this time.

I clapped at the end of Rocky, Rocky 2, Rocky 3, and Rocky 4. Why? Because it's Rocky and that's what you do.

if you laugh out loud during the movie you're a bad person

clapping is still pretty retarded though, even if it means that

Never made a thread like this before.
And yeah it's a thing. This thread even has clappers in it. Do a little Internet roaming, and you'll find a lot of clappers.

I see people do it after all but bad movies.

MyNameIsCharlie · December 06, 2015, 01:24:46 AM

I'm 40. I've seen that twice.

I've been to Britain 6 times now, why do you guys still cry over Diana's fucking wine glass?

Seriously, it's still in Harrod's, and people still cry over it.

She's dead already. Get over it

🂿 · December 06, 2015, 02:25:35 AM

Unless this is at a big screening event with the cast and crew there, like a premiere, that never happens.

R o c k e t · December 06, 2015, 02:33:24 AM

Only certain movies really receive clapping, not all of them.

The Dark Knight Rises, Fast and the furious 6 (cuz paul walker died), probably the new Star Wars.
