I feel really guilty, I think I'm a very bad mannered movie goer. It's just that I get so excited that I want to shout things out. During the battle scenes at ROTK, it didn't matter because everybody was calling things out and laughing and cheering. In ROTK no one clapped especially at any part but the beginning(we were anxious). But at FOTR I destinctly remember everyone in the theater(Canadian, by the way) bursting out in enthusiastic applause when Lurtz got his head chopped off. It didn't feel planned or forced at all, I think people were so into the movie it was just a reflex.<P>I don't know about the American stereo type, I clap at movies when something really great and <I>unexpected</I> happens.
