Is ever acceptable to clap during a movie?

A spin off of the Star Wars thread.

I saw X-Men 3 at the midnight premier. I'm a nerd, that's understood. But I draw the line at dressing in costumes and clapping during good scenes or at the conclusion of the film.

GoldenBuc is on the opposite side of the spectrum. Cosplay is normal now, and clapping to show your satisfaction with a movie scene is spontaneous and fun.

Which side do you fall into?

Who are they clapping for? It isn't a live performance. Do they think the actors can hear them clapping? Do they sit on their couch at home and clap at the TV? Fuking weirdos. Let's give the screen a standing ovation!!!

clapping at films, unless it's a premier with the production crew, is for the poors

Its something kids and people who want to act like kids do.

Barrister got the clap at a movie theater.

Yes that's the whole joy of going to opening night. And yes, it's fun to act like a kid sometimes

Only when the zombie gets the cute girl.

I clap at the end of video games. If you finished Last of Us without a standing ovation you just don't know art when it punches you in the throat.

Then you should be washing your hands, not clapping with them.

Shit, that's crazy talk. Damn near amateur.
