Does anyone actually read the end credits in Movies?

[R.E.N. Spells Ren]

Here's the difference though: the contributors of a textbook are doing what they do in order for the teachers to get props and get love and most people don't even thank them. The guys and gals working on a movie set are all working on one accord and not just for the glory of one person or one group, it's for the entirety of the team and without one of them, the show doesn't work. Now whether you want to do it or not is one thing, no one's judging that, but to say sitting there to show these cats some respect and show them some love is antiquated? I don't see it

There's a whole section thanking the contributors to textbooks, don't know what you're talking about. Many contributors are professors, and having gone through a couple high ranking research institutions, I assure you they DEFINITELY want props.

'sitting there' =/= respect. You're just sitting there out of custom from yesteryear.

And if we're talking on that level of academic book vs a math book in high school or elementary, yeah I agree with you completely but at the same time, most of those guys do get their props from professors, at least the ones I've had. I've never had a professor sit there and say "these are my ideas and my thoughts and I know everything" the entire field of academic research is based on giving someone else props and building off of someone else's hard work, so whether I'm having their names read to me in class or not, I'm hearing about them one way or another. And chances are, I'm writing about them or citing them and can't do a paper without them.

 

[R.E.N. Spells Ren]

For real. That would be like walking out of a Broadway play before the actors came out for the encore.

Completely different. The grip ain't in the room when you watch the movie. I've already acknowledged that at a premiere with the cast, crew, their friends and family present, of course you sit til the end. That's def showing respect.

Do you guys show this 'respect' everytime you watch a movie or is it only required the first time?

Most high school, even middle school text books use professors as contributors. Yea those professors get their props from their peers, but so do the crew of movies, that's how they get other gigs and such and they have awards and shyt.

We're discussing whether layman need feel required to show them that 'respect.' I'm not in the industry, and not a film nerd, me sitting there waiting for the credits to stop is showing no one any respect. I'm just sitting there.

And that's the difference. That's what the homie @Uncle_Ruckus was getting at: is this something only film nerds do? and if you don't classify yourself as one then it would make sense for you to have the stance you have breh, there's nothing wrong with that. To most film nerds and obviously people within the film community, it is a sign of respect, as I've heard directors and writers say that sentiment. If you don't do it, cool, no one is saying you have to or forcing your hand and you would have effectively answered the homie's question

I voted no breh. Personally I used to read the credits when I was younger (just out of curiosity), but now I am ready to dip as soon as the movies done (Unless its some Inception type ending). I just wanted to find out who still does it and why. We all have different reasons. When I was doing it, I never thought it was out of respect. We had a thread about people clapping at the screen when the movie is done. I clap. If its a great movie, that is my way of showing respect. Other people do it by sitting through the credits.

[Kermit, Gonzo, and Fozzie are in a hot air balloon, flying through the opening credits]
Fozzie: Nobody reads those names anyway, do they?
Kermit: Sure. They all have families.

Gonzo: Gee, a lot of people worked on this movie!
Kermit: Oh, this is nothing. Wait till you see the end credits

 

[Dirty Mcdrawz]

Not at the theater, but, I feel bad if I cut a movie off without reading 'em. Games, too.

i hate video game credits. i don't skip them anymore because sometimes they'll put something at the end of them that you'll miss if you skip the damn credits. so annoying

forcing me to watch credits... was my $60 not enough respect

When I started to respect the art of filmmaking I began to pay more attention to the credits

what if instead of album liner notes, you had to audibly hear them at the end of the cd?

just a random thought to contribute to the discussion

I do read those though mostly to see who produces what, samples, and to see if someone isn't being real about their pen games

Most people do...but i'm saying what if you couldn't read them. You could only hear them at the conclusion of the album. Would you listen to the credits?

(just a hypothetical)

Closest anyone has done that imo was My 1st Song on The Black Album. Hov goes off on a shout out spree at the end.

only if there's a sexy actress that i've never heard of before.
