Applause after movies

You know what the most retarded act known to man is? When a movie theater audience applauds after a movie is finished. I made one of the first few showings of Spiderman 2, of course the theater was filled with the quintisential comic geek and chronic dry meep crowd (myself included). So I knew the situation would be ripe for the lameness that is movie theater applause.

The lights come up and the credits begin to roll and BAM....what at first begins as a smattering of claps, snowballs into a more unified clapping appretiation of the film. But I ask you meepers, (tantrum adressing the movie clappers now) do you really think Sam Raimi or Tobey McGuire is in attendance tonight?
Applause are appropriate during a live performance. The people on screen during the movie cannot hear us. The only reason to applaude after a theater movie is to signal to your other geek breatheren, "Hey, dude! (big geek smile. two big geek thumbs up)". And an the even sadder move is the loser that, as he applaudes, looks around to make eye contact with his other fellow applauders. This person is fuked beyond recognition and will stay that way forever.

People that clap after a movie in a theater should be drugged and made to live the rest of their life as toilets.

Decider: Admin

people clapped at the end of the passion,, I love clapping

"people clapped at the end of the passion,, I love clapping"

Did they wait until the gag reel was finished?

The clap is a rather strange cultural concept that many take for granted these days, since it can in most cases be cured with a hefty dose of penicillin.

Clapping at movies is the new LOL.

!!LOL!!

Your own plans aside, I'd prefer for LOL to remain the new LOL. I'm not quite done with it yet. I was thinking about getting LOL as the nickname on my softball jersey, just to be an meep. That, or ROFL. That, or IFYM.

You know that thing that happens sometimes, right when a movie ends, and it manages despite your tough exterior to actually touch you somehow and you're sitting there watching the credits start to roll up and your big dumb heart feels like it's about to burst from suddenly growing three whole sizes too big and maybe your eyes are a little glossy around the edges and you feel in any case like a big sappy moronic meep and then the lights come up and the retarded teenagers in front of you stand up and you have to kinda steel your face and you're thinking "Oh man, I am really fuked up"?

No, me either. ROFL.

Getting emotional in teh movie theatre....phhht.
