Uproarious George! What was the last movie you saw in a theatre where the audience applauded and cheered at the end? How is a great movie that gets applause at the end different from a great movie that doesn't? Because I've been to a lot of great movies, but only a few where the audience reacted so spontaneously and with such comraderie. I saw "Shaun of the Dead" last night, and it got a full house applauding as the credits started to roll. With this particular movie my theory is its freshness; an all-English cast essentially unknown over here, and an odd genre - the Slacker/Zombie/Boy in Doghouse with Girl/Comedy/Buddy Movie genre, to be exact. What are your The Audience Clapped at the End movies and theories?

Anti-Corporate George Hello Monkeys! I don't know if this is kosher or not to put on monkeyfilter, but have a favor to ask. Peet's Coffee is trying to put a new shop in on the real estate of what is one of the best vintage hamburger stands in Los Angeles, Irv's Burgers on Santa Monica and Sweetzer. If you live in the greater Los Angeles area and feel like writing an email of support to West Hollywood city hall, I'd appreciate it. more inside
