Why can't I just watch a movie in peace? This is what makes me torrent instead of going to the theater.
At this point I'm very worried that Hateful 8 will be unwatchable until it's on blu-ray.
Does /tv/ notice that too or am I autistic?
>inb4 I'm autistic
I blame social media and smartphones for all of this.
midnight premieres are always like that you fucking autist. go in the morning if you want to avoid happiness
>>63789002
Everyone is nostalgic cut them some slack.i clapped at everything
come watch it in asia, nobody claps for anything
>>63789058
It was my first so I wouldn't know that. Won't make that mistake again.
>>63789063
I was nostalgic too, but I thought americans are the ones that clap for everything, not yuropeans
>>63789068
What part of asia?
My friend is in Beijing and told me it's even worse there.
>>63789002
Don't go to a midnight showing if you dont want autists, autist.
>>63789002
Where was the designated movie theatre shooter ?
Went to the midnight showing in Scotland and people were only clapping right at the end when "DIRECTED BY..." came up, wasn't personally clapping but I understood why as it was a genuinely good flick. Also went to see it again yesterday, no clapping but this one girl sat near us was constantly laughing at the most obvious references to the OT, wasn't too bad but you gotta learn to shut up when watching a movie.
>>63789169
singapore, nobody clapped
>beijing
was the cinema full of westerners?
>americlaps even clap at movie theaters
>>63789188
I don't care about the autists, it's the normies that fuck up every movie because they're retarded enough to burst out with "hoink hoink" when they get the joke
>>63789002
I had loads of kids in my theatre and all of them where silent while watching the film. I respect their parents
My theater basically became an interracial breeding grounds. I had to visit the shower afterwards to wash all the cum off.
>live in upper-class majority white part of metro area
>cinema is small, but the seats are those ultra comfy reclining ones
>only a few people dressed up, but it's pretty light cosplay since cinema is enforcing a "no hoods, no lightsabers" policy with a visible police presence
>two guys clap once during the opening, but quickly stop once they realize nobody else is doing it and never do it again
>apart from the comedic parts, nobody makes any more sounds until the ending
There was a little too much fan service and comic relief for my liking, hopefully now that the new trilogy nut has been busted they can make the next movies a tad more serious.
>>63789770
>"no hoods, no lightsabers" policy with a visible police presence
holy shit this is brilliant, should extend to all forms of cosplay
>>63789002
>Why can't I just watch a movie in peace? This is what makes me torrent instead of going to the theater.
At least you did learn your Lesson.
>>63789002
Watch movies at home you antisocial autistic faggot. Movies in theaters are a social experience. Why wouldn't you want to just have fun and go with it?
>>63789068
>>63789169
In Japan theaters are dead silent and anyone who makes a noise brings a thousand years of dishonor on their famiry.
Of course my friend and I were filthy gaijins so we laughed and clapped as is expected of Americans.
Meanwhile a friend in China says they are dying to be more American and are pleb as shit when it comes to movies.
>h8ful 8 will be unwatchable until it's on blu-ray
>implying it will ever be watchable
>>63790493
There's a reason people are supposed to turn off their phones and shut up during the movie. It's not a fucking disco.
>>63790577
I heard it's also considered impolite to talk on the phone when commuting? Based japs are based.
>>63789002
You're the idiot for expecting a quiet crowd at a midnight opening showing.
When the music came on people clapped. A few kids. Some older dudes who came to see what happened after the original trilogy. A lot of manchildren.
>>63789002
don't go to first viewings, wait a few weeks until the hype has died down
>mfw one of the girls in my group was ultra paranoid about a shooting and started freaking out everyone in the theater
>all eyes on one fat Mexican kid by himself with a trenchcoat
>>63789002
This is why I stopped watching movies in theaters. I will just wait until I can watch it at home.
>>63790615
So you're supposed to detach all emotions and not react to anything in front of you? Your phone has nothin to do with what's on screen, your perosnal reaction does.
I paid for my fucking seat, ill laugh at whatever the fuck I want.
>>63789002
poor americans.
>be german
>watch german in english
>only foreigners and serious grown ups
>nobody claps
>nobody laughs out loud
>nobody does anything but sit silently in his seat
Sometimes I really love being german.
>>63790815
>I paid for my fucking seat, ill laugh at whatever the fuck I want
its called not being a nuisance to others in public you fucking manchild
sure you paid for your seat, but the others paid for theirs too
so shut your mouth and watch the movie like an adult
Feels good to be in Germany I guess.
Went to the midnight premiere. One guy in a Kylo costume, some storm troopers, a few jedi. That's it.
Everyone watched the movie in peace. No clapping, ever. No loud laughter either, only during BB-8's thumb up and some "ohhh!" when the Falcon appeared on Jakku. No big audible reactions to Han Solo's death.
Pretty comfy.
>>63789002
Cause all these fuckin heathens don't know the Jedi Code...
>There is no emotion, there is peace.

Better to be french
I saw the Thursday showing at 9pm. Wasn't bad except for some annoying six year old girl who wouldn't shut up when the Fo4 commercial came on. Babies whinning, crying etc. People clapped when the title appeared, characters appeared, laughed at the jokes for a few seconds. I wore my sith robe but I didn't have the hood up or anything too gay.
The best part was when Carrie Fisher showed up, and just one person started nervously clapping, it died, then immediately everybody joined in when the shot panned over to C3-PO. The whole theater started laughing at that.
>those faggots dressing up in costumes and bringing lightsabers
hehe just like that simpsons episode guys! this is such an important cultural event, right? right?
Fucking FAGS.
>>63789002
>crowd bursts out with 20-30 second laughter every time even a minor quip
this is the one i hate the most. especially when it's the joke from the trailer that you know for a fact everybody has heard at least ten times
>>63789055
Social media and smartphones aren't to plane if people act like monkeys in the theater. If anything, it should make them shut up because they're too busy texting.
>there's a joke
>people laugh
NO FUCKING RESPECT
>>63789002
>Why can't I just watch a movie in peace?
Because everyone in the public audience is just competing with each other to like Star Wars more. Because it's cool now for fully grown adults to wet themselves with glee over a childrens' movie.
>>63789002
that's all a part of the movie going experience you goddamn aspie. Do you want people to just sit there and not react to anything on the screen? I agree, you SHOULD stay at home and torrent your flicks, because you're obviously not fit to be out in human society.

Differences between you and them (applicable to all boards):

Your life must be so sad and devoid of fun. Let yourself enjoy shit sometimes.
>>63790948
Please tell me the film was dubbed. That would just confirm how shit European entertainment is compared to superior American entertainment.
>>63790906
By your standards the whole crowd is being a nuisance. Would you really be making a difference by being an autist and depriving yourself from enjoying the movie by being angry?
>>63789002
Cmon at least they weren't shooting. ;^)
>>63791175
So basically they are so self-absorbed that they don't mind ruining someone else's experience. They are loud, they overreact, they bring their babies and bratty kids...but it's all fine because they're enjoying themselves with the few people they brought to the theater. Fuck everybody else.
Man, american society is fucked.
>>63791263
Every movie is dubbed in Germany.
Sometimes the dub is okay actually.
I'll see the original version tomorrow night so I can compare which one I like more.
Believe it or not occasionally I prefer the dub voice. Most striking examples being Homer Simpson and Dr. House, they sound MUCH better in German.
That said I usually try to see everything in English or the original version
>>63791233
>being autistic enough to type out all of this and include epic "no singles allowed in the cinema" meme
I honestly pity you, even by /tv/ standards.
As a former assistant manager of a theater, I'll let you in on a secret. No cinema looks down on singles. None. They're among the favorite type of people they want to have in there. Sure they're most likely to start shooting the place up but they're also the least likely to start disturbing everyone else and make the staff intervene.
i want to go and clap at EVERYthing especially when that bad person does that bad thing to that good person, if you know what im saying

Was pretty good overall. No babies, no phones going off, no obnoxious fucks.
I was in the Premier night yesterday
Nothing happened
Everyone was Silent, There was a few giggle at few funny scenes and that's all
Thank god we don't have this problem here
>uncultured americans think its okay to be selfish and CLAP, cheer and make noises while watching a movie
not theatre with live actors, not stand-up comedy in a bar, but a fucking movie
I'm sure the actors in the movie appreciate your clapping, retard
"who cares about other people--OMG DID YOU SEE THAT! "*frantic clapping*

I'm so glad people like you aren't going to reproduce.

>>63790891
this sounds fucking terrible. i wouldn't even go to the movies is people didn't laugh out loud and clap
>>63791233
...so, how was the movie?
>>63791425
nice bait
>>63791701
>I'd rather hear people clapping, whistling and shouting than focus on the movie I paid to see
>>63791742
yes it's a lot more fun that way, especially when you have the EQ to realize everyone in the theater is reacting because they're paying attention to the same film you are. that's why i like watching movies with friends and my girlfriend too, you can react socially to what's happening on the screen or discuss it with one another; makes the experience much more memorable and special. almost all my happiest memories over going to the theater involve the audience bursting out into applause. it's hard for autistic people to understand the appeal of group experiences though.
>>63791830
I'm all fine with watching it with others assuming I've been able to concentrate on it the first time around
>>63791466
Were talking about laughing normally you autistic faggot. I understand how you would have a hard time telling the difference.
>>63791625
This is all because we stopped teaching kids that only apes point and hoot, because it was raycist and offensive.
>>63791958
a theatre is a social experience anon if it wasnt there'd be 1 person per viewing.
>>63790493
Surely you don't actually fucking believe this. You go to see a movie in the theatre because there's no other way of seeing it, not to whoop and holler at the screen.
>>63789002
>Why can't I just watch a movie in peace?
Because the crowd is more excited than you and the majority of people show this excitement by cheering, laughing and applauding.
A smaller percentage of people are bad at showing their emotions and keep them bottled up. Fortunately we don't let people like this ruin our movie going experiences.
>>63792658
or many persons who are all by themselves and concentrating on the movie instead of loudly clapping?
>>63792783
You can wait and watch it at home on DVD or cable. There is no reason you would have to go to the theater, especially opening night. If you do, then you know what you're in for.
>>63792996
Or you can not go on opening night. Problem solved.

She isn't autistic she was simply trying to cover her short dress, same thing a guy would do if he had a raging erection on TV rather than clapping like a normal person and revealing a giant boner.

Nah they just understand that 'drama theatre' is not the same type of social experience as your typical neighborhood popcorn movie theatre.

just because the people involved are cunts doesn't mean the movie will be bad. I want to see hateful 8 because based Snake Plissken is the main character

>>63793503
neither is a social experience. You don't go there to talk to people and make new friends, you go there to watch a movie. And the fact that there's 200 people watching this move with you doesn't make it a cocktail party all of a sudden
>>63791233
I'm crying
>>63793686
welcome to the 21st century grandpa, movies are social now.
I haven't been to a theatre in years, so I don't remember much being bothersome. Although I do remember going to see "star trek" in theatre the one with the red liquid, and I remember thinking that I'd like to press pause when I had to take a break for the restroom. I feel like I didn't know what was going on for most of those star trek movies.
>>63793760
>grandpa
hello reddit
>>63789002
>goes to the cinema
>expects a viewing experience
top kek
Cinemas are nothing more than a social meetup these days. I also think watching a movie in a cinema at least somehow distorts the experience. You have people clapping, talking, laughing and shit, which is honestly not even a bad thing if you just want to have a fun night with your friends, watching a good movie.
But if you really just want to experience a movie, watch it by yourself.
>>63789058
yeah, when i wend to star wars last night the high school girl dressed as a wookie told me to be quiet because my breathing was "really annoying" before the trailers even started.
Then she tried to film to opening credits crawl and I laughed.

couples go to cinemas as a form of dating
kids go because fun
lonely women because romantic comedy
I'd say only 30%-40% people watching the movie are really paying attention and using their brains to understand what is going on.

>people aren't allowed to laugh at something they find funny
>everyone should be completely silent during the entire movie

You people astound me. If someone is talking through the whole movie but a short outburst of collected laughter isn't going to ruin the movie for you.
You're like my friend who gets mad when small children laugh during Disney movies.
Kill yourself
>>63795348
Nobody said that people can't laugh. The purpose of quips is to loosen the tension and make people smile/giggle, not piss themselves for 20 seconds followed by a round of clapping
>me and friend go to first screening available this morning because we're not retarded
>decent sized crowd
>audience is quiet the entire movie up until Han died
A quiet audience is a good sign for me. Shows they're engaged with the movie
>>63795348
you sound like that lonely ugly kid who has to keep making excuses for everyone elses shit behavior because you don't fit into either social camp.
Please go to the lobby and order some bleach.
>>63789002
People barely made any noise when I went, besides a few collective chuckles. The only noise was cheering when the credits started. Then again I am in Australia.
