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).
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.
Yeah ok, that is absurd.
Someone is going to make Joseph Stalin very jealous.
Well a film festival is a bit different case isn't it?
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.
