    no, it's impolite to make noise at the cinema. the only time it happens is when people don't care about the movie.

    Laughing during a movie is impolite? That's insane. So if somebody makes a joke you just sit there stonefaced like a psychopath?

    it's not insane, it's just the norm. scandinavians are very reserved people.

    Not laughing isn't reserved, its repressed.

    you can think something is funny and not laugh. PHM isn't really a comedy anyway. comedies tend to get more laughs in the cinema because people are primed for it.

    You said you never laugh though and that its impolite, thats a big difference.

    no, i said people in general don't make noise at the cinema. i don't know why people focused on laughter specifically.

    In response to being asked if people laugh, you said no, its impolite and that people only do it if they don't care about the movie. I don't know why you're arguing that you didn't say people don't laugh at the movies. Fucking a dude.

    It sounds like a sad state of things when it's polite to stifle laughter when humor happens in front of you, but I'm sure there's a sane reason for it.

    the reason is you care about the people around you. every time i've seen an american cinema it's looked like a nightmare.

    The ones near me have been pretty well-kept, but I imagine it varies by site. Either way, I fail to see how laughing at jokes means we don't care about each other? I usually feel a sense of ease and connection when a theater collectively laughs quietly at a funny moment. A messy theater existing somewhere doesn't change that moment into a bad one.

    it's just a matter of different atmospheres. people here want to be completely immersed in the experience and someone making noise around them ruins that. even children's films tend to have completely quiet theatres because everyone is so focused.
