WTF de Jour

[howeird]

scendan and leatherapron are ranting today about the sad state of etiquette in the movie theaters these days.

I share their pain.

But the part of me that lives in a parallel universe had a tangentially related WTF:

Why do people applaud after a movie?

Nobody who has anything to do with the movie can hear you.* Save it for live theater.

I have the same WTF for people who are introduced on a TV show or maybe an awards event, and they applaud for themselves. Sheep.


*Yes, it's fine to applaud at the end of a movie if it's a premiere or preview or you otherwise know someone in the cast or crew was in the audience.
