Grim O'Grady Posted October 27, 2015 Share Posted October 27, 2015 I get that all the time Dee Man its annoying as f**k I also get annoyed when swimmers in the slow lane at the pool feel that they can swim at a completely unacceptable slow pace, theres often some fat old woman doing back stroke and i can't do my proper amount of lengths coz someones going too slow but then the fast lane is the opposite and too aggressive. The fat old women may as well go to the main bit of the pool because it doesn't matter if they bump into anyone because they are going so slowly ^^^Obsessive about lengths type post.

SlipperyP Posted October 27, 2015 Share Posted October 27, 2015 I've seen that once, but can't remember what film it was. I've no issue with it tbh. I know it's slightly different, but folk clap at the theatre. Aye there are folk at the theatre there to receive the applause, but at the cinema it's still a form of recognition even if the actors can't hear or see you The best thing I ever witnessed at the pictures was during Skyfall. It was the scene in the old mansion when the guy shot a fella with a shotgun and said "Welcome to Scotland". The audience cheered I remember seeing Rocky IV the whole cinema was standing on the seats shouting Rocky Rocky Rocky 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MEADOWXI Posted October 27, 2015 Share Posted October 27, 2015 I remember seeing Rocky IV the whole cinema was standing on the seats shouting Rocky Rocky Rocky Saw Indians Jones and the Temple of Doom in Dublin when it first came out.There was an intermission and everybody clapped. And as the final fights and scenes built to the end everybody was clapping and cheering the fights and the chase in the mining carts.

Bobby Skidmarks Posted October 27, 2015 Share Posted October 27, 2015 The only time I've seen people applaud a movie was after the last Twilight movie. B'JESUS That's almost as bad as going to see it in the first place. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ira Gaines Posted October 27, 2015 Share Posted October 27, 2015 Depends if you're getting dragged along to see it by a mate. Although I did wind up enjoying it anyways. Not enough for a standing ovation or anything, but it wasn't bad. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BFTD Posted October 27, 2015 Share Posted October 27, 2015 There was wild, rapturous applause at the beginning of the showing of Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back that I attended. There was no applause at the end. A fight almost broke out when I went to see A.I. - half the audience had spent most of the running time stifling giggles at the mawkishness of the whole thing, but towards the end it became obvious that the other half were dewy-eyed and OMG SO affected by the ridiculous storyline that they began standing up and yelling insults at the rest for being so hard-hearted. That just gave them carte-blanche to laugh openly, which led to some nasty-looking spittle-flecked confrontations. I believe the manager was called for, but the credits rolled before he could come through with the banhammer. Was a damn sight more entertaining than the film, actually. Oh, and I'm sure I've mentioned this before, but the best crowd engagement I've seen was at a showing of Young Adam, a film in which Ewan McGregor shags absolutely anything female that appears, and whips his boaby out with impunity. Everyone had cottoned on to this by the halfway point, so there were a lot of giggles whenever a woman appeared on-screen, and by the end people were just flat-out catcalling and yelling stuff like, "get wired in, Ewan son!" T'was most entertaining 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hedgecutter Posted October 27, 2015 Share Posted October 27, 2015 Folk complaining about 'women only' swimming sessions. These are evidently excellent for filtering out the fat, overly subconscious whales afraid of men seeing their cellulite, leaving fit tidies at the regular sessions I attend. Either that or I just live in the Monaco in the North (where there's a Coral in place of a grand casino). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Bairn Posted October 27, 2015 Share Posted October 27, 2015 Worse than cinema antics, what about those absolute cretins that applaud the pilot when a plane lands? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sergeant Wilson Posted October 27, 2015 Share Posted October 27, 2015 I don't applaud the pilot because my nails are usually so far embedded in the chair or other passengers to be released. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boostin' Kev Posted October 27, 2015 Share Posted October 27, 2015 People who clap when a plane lands. It's the pilot's job to land the plane safely, why applaud? Are you applauded for completing a word document? Cretins. Never happens on a flight leaving Edinburgh. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P45 Posted October 27, 2015 Share Posted October 27, 2015 Who are you applauding at the cinema? The guy that loaded the reel? What is really bad is those idiots that clap when a plane lands. Cretins IMO. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hedgecutter Posted October 27, 2015 Share Posted October 27, 2015 When you are participating in a facebook hill/mountain identification quiz ( f**k off, I'll live my life how I like)and someone posts the answer you already posted hours ago.
