Embarassing customs, behaviours and habits of your compatriots?

[Zoupa]

About as retarded at clapping at the end of a movie.

I think the last time I recall seeing that was at the premier of the original Independence Day.  The crowd was really into the movie.

Wtf

That was the right movie for the right time. It is so 90s it hurts, which is part of the reason I thought it was incredibly silly to do a sequel so many years after it was culturally relevant.

Our pre-9/11 innocence.

Yep. It was that short period of time when we thought we were awesome. I miss those days.

Go watch Fight Club and let it wash over you, like a nice warm pre-9/11 blankie.

My country men have an annoying habit of going completely bonkers and shooting up schools, offices, and businesses.

Swedes probably clap on charter flights, at least they did in '82 the last time I flew charter.

The audience I saw it (the 90s one) with clapped at the end of Pullman's speech. Although it was ironic.

Last time I remember a crowd clapping in a movie theater was actually during the previews.  They ran a preview for the Terms of Endearment sequel, and the crowd applauded when Jack Nicholson's character showed up on screen.  It was a bit odd, really.

Last time I had clapping in a theater - outside film festivals where that happens a lot - was on The Force Awakens, when the "A long time ago..." caption showed up.

[Duque de Bragança]

Same here. Happens a bit more often at the Cinémathèque though.

I remember clapping at a midnight screening of Phantom Menace when the green Lucasfilm logo showed up.

Of course at that point we hadn't seen the movie yet...

People started clapping during Last of the Mohicans when Daniel Day Lewis showed up in the opening credits.  Might have been a chick thing.

Hopefully you remember *the* clapping and don't remember that you clapped

But yeah, that happened in my theater as well.  The only other time I can remember is the final scene in Karate Kid.  Several idiots got up and clapped, including my older cousin.  Never looked at him the same after that.  And he had seen the damned movie already
