We had these people who showed up late during the beginning and were all standing in the aisles trying to get into their seats for about five minutes. And then later on, their f***ing baby was screaming and crying. And they just kept trying to calm it, but it kept wailing incessantly. Everyone in the theater was so pissed off, until they FINALLY left after the kid had been crying for ten minutes straight. She didn't come back, thank god.

Wouldn't that imply that my life is so awesome that I have to actively search for things to bother me just so that I can relate with lesser people? But seriously, it annoys me when anyone does this kind of stuff. It's stupid and unnecessary.

then count that as a popular time, obv. I know a theater that does the same thing and not only does it make it more crowded but the offer of cheap tickets on a weeknight= a bunch of young people= MUCH MORE LIKELY to have annoying people in the crowd.

clapping is an expression of joy and satisfaction over what one just witnessed. do you laugh at jokes in movies? if not, are you bothered when other people do?

Laughing isn't something I actively think about doing. If clapping is an involuntary response for you, you should probably learn some kind of emotional restraint.

the issue isn't with the agency one has over the expression, the issue is the expression. you're bothered by expressions made after the movie is over - an expression which in no way hinders your enjoyment of the movie - but not ones made during the movie - which could lead to you missing information.

maybe you don't want to criticize an action you take part in, I don't know. you asked why people do it - it's an outward expression of satisfaction with the movie.

Literally the worst ever was when we were dragged to an Inuyasha panel with our friends who invited us to Otakon. We didn't know about how it worked so we kinda tagged along. ANYWAYS, they were showing some movie premier where Inuyasha and Sesshomaru were shown as babies...the squealing was terrible. Also, Otakon again, seeing the premier of FMA movie. Squeals every time a recognizable face entered the screen for the first time.

On the flip side, best ever was seeing Dragon Ball Z and the whole room yelled "IT'S OVER 9000!" in unison when the scene arose...big adrenaline rush.

Clapping is just a way of expressing your enjoyment. Not something I'd do, but nothing wrong with it, even when the people responsible aren't there.

Mind you, The Avengers is the type of film best enjoyed with a large, loud audience. It's a great film, but certain parts were enhanced by the audience reactions. No clapping, but lots of laughs and cheers. One moment in particular was the loudest I've ever heard a cinema, and I wouldn't have it any other way. Anybody who's seen the film probably knows which bit I mean.

It's a natural reaction for a lot of people, isn't it? What a bizarre complaint

I wouldn't say natural for a lot of people. For some, sure, but not a lot. Laughing is a lot more natural than clapping, imo. Then again, I like never clap, for anything, unless it's something huge and in the family(marriage, and other things).

As far as I'm aware, no. I've never heard of someone clapping by reflex. It is a conscious decision.

On that note, clapping after a movie is perfectly fine.

If you clap DURING, leave the theater. You aren't welcome there, and your a disruption. It's the same as yelling "look out he's right behind you!" in a horror movie, and similar ilk.

uh no its not

"LOOK OUT HES BEHIND YOU" people are intentionally being obnoxious

people who clap and stuff are into the movie and are happy

they're NOT doing that to be annoying >_>

I didn't say they were intentionally being annoying. But they still are. Clapping is a decision you have made, and even if it wasn't the intention for it to be disruptive, it is disruptive, and just like yelling during a movie it's something you DECIDE to do, unlike laughing, which is a reflex and mostly uncontrollable.

The only time it's acceptable to clap is if you're at a screening where cast and crew are present. That's because applause is intended to show support and appreciation.

Nobody claps after they play a good video game or read a good book. It's the same with movies.

It kind of is...

Bccause most of them are at least smart enough to know that clapping over dialogue will annoy real humans.

They're just choosing to be selfish.
