When I went to "Sicko", at the end, the whole theater applauded. Mostly, though, my theater experiences have been...less than magical. I would miss them if they went away, but it's been ages since that "gotta see it!" feeling.
Buffy: A Guide, but no water or food. So it leads me to the sacred place and then a week later it leads you to my bleached bones? Giles: Buffy, really. It takes more than a week to bleach bones.

Buffista Movies 7: Brides for 7 Samurai
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

Just started watching The Voyage of the Dawn Treader. What a fabulously irritating Eustace.
I think Eustace was pretty much the only good thing about that movie. Okay, and maybe Caspian's pants. And the fact that Lucy got to use a sword without comment.
Well, okay, it was in general fairly pretty. Just it made no sense.
But the kid who plays Eustace is awesome. I'm rather disappointed they're not going right into The Silver Chair: reports are that they're going to make The Magician's Nephew next--maybe they have to use Tilda Swinton immediately?

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Someone should have prepared you.
Ahem!
AVC: There are two kinds of people: People who weep during the “When She Loved Me” montage, and people who lie about it.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."
Yeah, but that's not enough. You need hand-holding. And a squishy toy.
Suela, I pretty much agree, though that's weird about Magician's Nephew. They obviously needed a plot, since the book doesn't have much of one, but they didn't quite get there.

assumed that there was a third kind of person, who hadn't watched the movies!

Dear Sophia,
The first ten minutes of Up (also Pixar) will destroy you. You are forewarned.

p.s. Also the last thirty minutes of Toy Story 3 is nothing but crypoints.

I possibly should have known I would cry, since I once bawled over someone describing the Futurama episode about the guy and his dog. I have never once seen Futurama.

In fairness, that is the cryingest episode of Futurama and a total sobfest.

Hec, LOOK AWAY NOW I AM WARNING YOU.
I think the applauding-est movie I've seen in a theater was The Goonies. As it rightly should be. (Sloth = AWESOME.)
I also remember the audience on opening night of Batman Begins applauding at the end of the film.
I pretty much don't like going to movies in the theater, though, because I don't like other people intruding on my Special Magical Bubble of me and the movie. I mean, that's WHY I go see movies. Special Magical Escapist Bubble.

coincidentally, I read that post while listening to Conan talk about "The Goonies."
