    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.
