[Eomer of the Rohirrim]

I have heard of numerous occasions where a crowd (noticeably American crowds) burst into applause in a cinema. Being a Scot (and this could be seen as rather different to being a Brit) I have never even once heard applause during a film in a cinema.<P>And I appreciate it very much so. Even when someone laughs loudly during a film it irks me no end. A huge burst of applause would infuriate me.
