No offense, flatey, but up yours. I like to show appreciation for something I like when I'm finished watching it. Not for the filmmakers, and certainly not for the ignorant theater staff, but for myself, because I am a selfish prick who likes letting people know what I enjoy, of course.
Up yours, too, Mikey. People have reactions to movies when they're done watching them. You know what I did when I finished watching "Eternal Sunshine?" I threw my fucking seven-dollar coke at the screen, because when I'm finished having brain thoroughly screwed by a bunch of annoying twats, I like to douse them with expensive carbohydrates.
I'm sorry for the outburst, but the standards of theaters, especially those of movie theaters, are things that I'm fairly concerned with.
