So Americans do really clap over every bullshit? I thought it was just a meme.
None. Is this an American thing or something? I have never had this happen, or even heard of it happening except in America. It seems so weird to me to applaud people who can’t hear you.
It’s rare. Opening nights of epic films are exceptions.
Reminds me, I learned from a friend: folks from India know how to turn up in a theater - showings get wild!

I can’t even imagine someone starting applauding at a movie. Sounds pretty American.
They do absurd standing ovations at Cannes and other international film festivals. I doubt it’s just an American thing (and even here, it isn’t that common).
Yeah, of course. I don’t know if it goes beyond film festivals outside of the U.S. as I’ve never gone to the movies elsewhere. I was more wondering than saying it does or doesn’t happen. I’ll bet India has some fun theaters where people clap and get rowdy and more serious theaters.
At film festivals the director and/or cast is probably present. That’s not absurd.
I meant absurd in length. There was once a 22 minute standing ovation for Guillermo Del Toro after Pan’s Labyrinth.
Avengers Endgame.
I was thoroughly impressed with how the Russo brothers managed to amaze us after Infinity War.
The midnight premiere of Star Wars Episode 1. That was the same year I graduated highschool and I had never seen such an event at a movie theater! There were fat middle aged guys wearing the same Star Wars tshirts they bought in the 80s, now 2 sizes too small. There were people waiving plastic lightsabers. It was glorious…
