No one moved and you could have heard a pin drop for at least 3 minutes. Then the applause came. That was the only time I ever wanted go immediately to the lobby and buy another ticket and watch the movie again. -V95Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19623437.post-5275706016267407682007-06-20T13:33:00.000+00:002007-06-20T13:33:00.000+00:00"Without missing a beat we both whispered, "I got ..."Without missing a beat we both whispered, "I got no place else ta gooooo!" <BR/><BR/>LOL!BernardLhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09722619048888613647noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19623437.post-39627438766762822542007-06-20T10:08:00.000+00:002007-06-20T10:08:00.000+00:00Sure does!

Even when I worked at a theatre (which is why I spell it that way, as the company I worked for spelled it that way, and it stuck) we used to have movies for months and months, and it wasn't THAT long ago. We had Ghost, for example, for like nine months.<BR/><BR/>I love Jaws. The hubs and I are big into Jaws. We watch it every Thanksgiving (long story.) And Speed...just awesome. <BR/><BR/><BR/>Love The Stand, Bernard. One of my absolute favorites. Hubs and I joke about An Officer... all the time, it's so quoteable. When we were doing lamaze classes when I was pregnant with out first, the teacher mentioned this "Boot Camp" class they had for new Dads. Without missing a beat we both whispered, "I got no place else ta gooooo!" and lost it. The rest of the class must have thought we were high or something.Staciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07969399927758009095noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19623437.post-71404394040214243032007-06-20T00:27:00.000+00:002007-06-20T00:27:00.000+00:00Anansi Boys by Neil Gaiman, Watership Down by Rich...<I>Anansi Boys</I> by Neil Gaiman, <I>Watership Down</I> by Richard Adams, and almost any Georgette Heyer Regency.Camille Alexahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09031841106283355784noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19623437.post-42637158919264830482007-06-19T22:32:00.000+00:002007-06-19T22:32:00.000+00:00There's about a billion books I'd applaud - but, i...There's about a billion books I'd applaud - but, in particular, I'd like to applaud Cat's Eye, by Margaret Attwood.

I'm not sure what movie it was but I was 11 or 12 and at the theatre with friends who looked at me like they'd never seen anyone do anything of the sort before. <BR/><BR/>I wonder why it stopped. It seems like it happened so suddenly. Was there a memo? An announcement on the evening news?<BR/><BR/>The Man thinks the lack of applause has made movies seem like somewhat less of an art and more of something to be consumed, gulped down before we dash off to the next disposable treat. <BR/><BR/>I love sending authors notes about their books. That's part of the reason I love ebooks; the authors seem so much more accessable. I think my first email from a reader will feel like thunderous applause.

The first time was at a screening in a small theater of the 1969 version of Romeo and Juliet. The second time was a screening of John Wayne in Big Jake at the Navy Base, and all the guys started cheering at the very beginning, when he's shown looking down the sights of a winchester rifle. The third time was when my wife and I saw An Officer and a Gentleman.<BR/><BR/>Stephen King's The Stand is the only book I ever read cover to cover twice in a row. When someone reads your book through once, and then starts it right back over again, that's applause. :)BernardLhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09722619048888613647noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19623437.post-18541373840767574292007-06-19T16:42:00.000+00:002007-06-19T16:42:00.000+00:00There are a lot of books I'd like to applaud for! ...There are a lot of books I'd like to applaud for!

And I love Speed too.<BR/><BR/>And yeah when I was younger we used to applaud for movies too. I don't think movies are that good anymore - they don't even last that long in the theater.
