Are you "sad" to go to the cinema on your own?

[Lamp]

Are you - sad / wierd / a loser - to go to the cinema on your own?

 

[Dudley52]

I've never been to the cinema alone. But I don't see anything wrong with it lol. You go to watch the film, not to chat to someone the whole time.

 

[Naetha]

I've never been to the cinema alone, but I certainly would. I suppose it depends if you go to the cinema as a social event, or if you go to see the film

 

[Samaroon|Terracotta]

Like Dudley said, I've never been by myself before, but I would.

 

[CorNokZ]

Nothing wrong with it imo, but I just wouldn't do it.. I like to have someone to talk to about the movie afterwards

 

[Lamp]

I'm surprised no one's mentioned about going to see a porn movie on your own

Nothing beats watching a good movie with a good friend

I agree.

 

[Lamp]

I like going to the movies with friends, but there's something luxurious about going to the cinema in the morning with the whole theatre to yourself soaking up the movie all to yourself.

 

[Overdriven]

I've gone a couple of times alone, only because I actually like going to the cinema and I couldn't handle people I knew talking all the way through the movie. (After seeing The Island (iirc) I didn't go to the cinema for like 5 months because the people I was with never shut up)

I think it really depends on the movie though. I mean, I wouldn't go and see something like Ice Age on my own, as it's a group sorta film.. BUT I would go see something like.. Grindhouse on my own, as not many people I know actually like Taran or the sound of the movie.

So.. "Depends....maybe...other reasons"

never been on my own, but seriously been considering watching the new harry potter on my own, just becuase i think my mates will laugh if i suggest going to see it with them

They'll all have the same idea, and you'll all end up seeing each other in the theatre anyway

well i was gonna go as dumbledore....

 

[old.Tohtori]

First time i saw Die Hard III, was with brother and friends.
Second time around, was with another friend.
Third/fourth and fifth time around...just couldn't get any more friends

No, going to cinema isn't wrong.

It's cool to go with people(who you know can SHUT THE F*CK UP! ), but it's cool to go alone too. More "intense" as an experience. You can really dig into the world without distractions.

If you go all the time alone 'cause you don't have anyone to go with, it's a bit sad, but only in a way that "Well, kinda saddening that someone could be so lonely." Not sad as "pathetic".

 

[Basic_X]

Done it a few times, ofc its disappointing, but i really wanted to see the movie and none of my friends wanted ;P

 

[Lamp]

Agree with Toto's last comments.

There is a DEFINITE plus side of going on your own: no one pinches your popcorn !

 

[Chronictank]

wouldnt go myself, as i only go cinema as a social thing
I have a projector in my room so dont really need to go out for the experience

 

[Wazkyr]

doubt many ppl care about other ppl going alone. Only the first 5 min you there's light anyway.
Never been there alone myself thou, and doubtfully i ever will, just need to express myself after a good movie to a m8.

 

[Solo]

Agree with chron, if im alone i'd rather watch it at home with my own comforts and control.

Although the act itself isn't that social as you keep quiet and watch but going out to meet friends before and going for a chat / drink after is the reason why you go. Its nice to go with a partner as you can be together but can have a break from talking if you've been with them all day.

Maybe when I'm an old git I might go on my own but to be young it just seems so abnormal.

 

[phade]

I go with my mate some time if there is summit we all wnat to watch. But i can never take my Gf all i get through the film is 'who is he?' 'what happens now?' 'is he the bad guy?' so i go alone to be able to enjoy the film in peace.

 

[GReaper]

I'll go to the cinema with friends to see a film, but if they're not particularly bothered then I'll wait for the DVD release to watch at home.

 

[Wonk]

!!!!

that's so fucking annoying. I've got a mate who keeps asking when we're watching movies. Especially if it's horror movies

"What happens next!??" "Why is his head cut off?!" "Is that the sister of the dogs brother!?!?"

ffs!!!!!11

 

[echome]

Hmm... yeah I always go to the cinema alone.
This cinema also just got one chair for each movie screen... But I can hear the person next to me, so not feeling that alone anyway.

 

[haarewin]

i've never done it before but lately i can't find a time thats good for other people to go so i might just go alone on friday daytime

 

[leviathane]

ye i go on my own, treat myself to the big comfy chairs But if a mate wanted to go see it aswell i'd go with em. Don't see why ppl get the impression it's sad to go alone, heck i much prefer to watch a good movie on a massive screen than my own tv.

 

[Maeloch]

ofc, mostly. Not that I go to cinema loads. Often want to watch something no one know one I know does, wtf or would only end up watching films ur mates like. Suprised tbh so many peeps don't even really consider it.

 

[Ctuchik]

I've never been to the cinema alone.

i rarely go to the cinema. its hot, crowded and the kids cant fucking shut up. mobile phones ringing, some random jackass keeps talking to the movie like he was in it etc etc etc.

no, give it on DvD and stay the fuck away from my apartment so i can enjoy it in peace.

the few times i go to the cinema with friends/gf they know that if they try taking any of MY popcorn they risk loosing their arm

if they want it that badly they can bloody go buy their own

People wonder why relationships become rocky..

 

[Aada]

Gone plenty of times during the day on my own when i got the day off and GF is at work.

You will be suprised just how many ppl are on their own in the day and i think its because they just want to chill and watch a film without anyone talking.

Quite relaxing to tell you the truth.
