Viking 0 #1 December 17, 2003 Just saw the midnight showing and i fucking loved everything except all the stupid people clapping anytime anything even remotely dramatic happened god that annoys me!!! Anyways, it was a very good movie. I havn't read the Return of the Kings book so the movie kept me on the edge of my seat for most the movie. Loved it, gonna go see it again so i won't have to deal with all those people clappingI swear you must have footprints on the back of your helmet - chicagoskydiver My God has a bigger dick than your god -George Carlin Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

masher 1 #3 December 17, 2003 It must be an american thing. I've never come across that. But, I've just come back from Boston, and there was a large contigent on religious people going to a convention in Sydney. When the plane landed, they clapped and cheered. ummmm it's _supposed_ to do that -- Arching is overrated - Marlies Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

EdC 0 #10 December 17, 2003 I hate people that talk to the characters on screen. For example "Girl, don't open that door!" and then of course they follow it up with "I told you not to open that door." It is as if the movie will stop and the character will look into the camera and say "Thanks." Yeah, I hate people who do that. And how hard is it to set your cell phone or pager to vibrate or shut the damn thing off. What’s even worse is when their phone rings and they answer, then they carry on a conversation giving the caller a play by play of the movie. Maybe that is why I wait until movies come out on DVD.

rehmwa 2 #11 December 17, 2003 You are kidding aren't you? DURING the movie? I don't have an issue at the end, even though I don't think anyone is going to come out and take a bow or anything. But DURING the movie? Sounds like morons. I've never seen it. But the talking and comments during the movie is really annoying. Or someone asking questions - it's not like they didn't see exactly what everybody else saw, so what insight are they looking for? ...

jverley 1 #15 December 17, 2003 It's a 4 hour movie (or 11 hours if you saw the trilogy). Maybe they were trying to get circulation back into their hands for sitting so long.John Arizona Hiking Trails Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I remember going to see Batman on opening day. Comic-book fanatics slept in line for tickets... I show up that morning and still got in (suckers!) Peeps were clappin' and who-hooin' every 10 minutes... they actually stopped the film mid-way through, and had a staff memeber walk down front and centre to say everyone had to shut up or they wouldn't start 'er back up again. Kinda annoying... but I didn't mind the hootin' and hollerin' so much. I went to see it with a bunch of people. We had fun. I knew I'd see the film again. My Karma ran over my Dogma!!!

BikerBabe 0 #22 December 17, 2003 I actually think it's kind of neat. Especially with a movie like this, that I love so much. It tells me that everyone else is as into it as I am, that they are absolutely loving it as much as I am. It warms my heart. Besides, all the clapping at ROTK was mostly during loud battle sequences, anyway, so you aren't missing anythng sound wise. I've heard reviews from people who went to critics' screenings, of this movie, and even the CRITICS were clapping in some parts. the loudest cheers were for the death of the witch king and when Sam started carrying Frodo...Never meddle in the affairs of dragons, for you are crunchy and taste good with ketchup!

Kramer 0 #25 December 17, 2003 For some reason, I kinda like it when people clap. Maybe not during the movie...but when it's over, and the credits start, and people start clapping...I think that's pretty cool. *Contemplates deleting...accident hits post rep The FAKE KRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMER!!!!!!!!!
