Would you go to movies, theater alone!

[ronboy]

I did for many years. It doesn't bother me to be alone. But I much prefer having my man with me.....

Okay, I'm apparently going to be the odd ball. I've never gone to the cinema alone. It's not huge on my priority list because I know everything eventually comes out on DVD anyway and I can enjoy it in the privacy of my own home.

The last movie I saw at the cinema was "The DaVinci Code," and I went with two friends. That episode reminded me why I don't relish the experience as most people seem to do. Too many distractions, cell phones going off, etc. Plus, I've long legs and never can seem to get comfortable.

Next time there's something interesting at the local, I'll try to remember to go alone just to see what it's like.

When I entered college a while back I had to get use to doing stuff alone....like eating, riding the bus, waiting for the bus, shopping for food, going to movies, Magic Tournaments etc.

I didn't want to at first but I needed to and well I don't like going out by myself, I have to, otherwise nothing will get done! So yes I would and have gone to see movies and concerts by myself. Granted it's more fun with friends but there not always available now at my age. Most of them have families and young kids to take care off.

Who the hell cares if you go alone and what the other people there think...

What he said!!!

Although, if the choice was between going out with a "certain JUBber" and going out alone, I would definitely choose ALONE!!!

 

[blooeyz]

I have, I kindof get a vicarious thrill out of it
sitting alone in the dark with strangers

I don't go to movies alone often... but I have done it and it is not a problem. I mean let's face it, you aren't really supposed to talk to anyone during a movie anyway. hehe

If I did not go out alone, I would never go out. It isn't that I don't have friends, but quite often my tastes and thiers is quite different. I also like the alone time. No phone, no conversation, just me getting lost in the movie or just enjoying and savoring the meal.

 

[MRMATTX2]

Of course, if there's something I want to see and no friends are around or free, I'll go alone. I've been to a few concerts alone, although I must admit, I prefer to have someone at a live show to enjoy it with. Movie is not a big deal alone, even dining in a restaurant doesn't bother me, but concert or theater, unless it's something I feel I MUST see, I probably would not go alone.

I used to go to movies by myself a lot, when I was in school. Now, I most often go with other people, but not always. I might go to a movie alone this week.

 

[teh_nathan]

I would never go alone, I wouldn't have someone to talk about the movie with.

 

[justsimon]

I would never go alone, I wouldn't have someone to talk about the movie with.

Lol. I will talk to someone about a movie regardless of whether they've seen it.

 

[teh_nathan]

That's not what I mean, I like the companionship.

 

[SizzlingStar07]

If it's a movie that I REALLY wanna see, I would try to get someone to go with me, otherwise go by myself, but I'd sit all the way at the back/top. Sometimes it gets crowded, and people would sit next to me, so it looks like I'm actually there with people. Haha

 

[blackbeltninja]

I don't like going alone. Yeah you have to be quiet during the movie, but you need to have someone to chat to before it starts and after it finishes.

I went alone once. Hated it.

If a good concert was in town (I'm hearing rumours of Pearl Jam coming in November woohoo!!!) I would go alone if nobody else was keen, though.

-d-

 

[pjlikesporn]

I would definitely go to plays/films/concerts alone. After all, they're not exactly places where I wish to have conversation.

Restaurants are another story. I won't eat in them alone. (I also won't eat with someone in an empty restaurant--feel too much attention from the waiters.) If I see an old person eating alone in a restaurant, I instantly start bawling.

I used to watch movie alone, until I met my ex. We spent many hours in the cinemas together, catching every latest film. We were both movie-addict.

Then, we separated.

I went to watch Superman Returns alone. And before the film starts, the cinema at my place played a track - Out of Reach by Gabrielle.

My eyes went all watery.

 

[smile86]

No i've never been to the cinema or eaten in a restaurant alone. I'd feel like everyone was staring at me. I don't like shopping alone either, it's kinda rediculous but i always like to have someone with me when i'm out. When i'm at home i feel a lot more comfortable with being alone.

I have no problem at all going to the cinema, or a restaurant or other public place, by myself. There is still something about seeing a movie at the cinema that cannot be replicated by watching even the largest plasma digital TV at home. It is probably a subconscious thing, but I think that just knowing I'm around other people who are enjoying the movie - well, it adds something intangible to the experience.

Yes I PREFER going with a friend, but that's as far as it goes. I have never felt reluctance to go by myself, even once, that I can remember. It doesn't happen all that often, but if I'm traveling and I see that they're showing something I want to see, I'll just GO.

In 2006 I saw Brokeback Mountain, Wordplay, and parts of the Ann Arbor Film Festival, solo. I saw Cars, and parts of the Ann Arbor Film Festival, with friends.

 

[confusedboy23]

i've only done that once. it was many years ago and the only reason i did it was because everyone else has seen it except me!

 

[ozguy]

Sometimes I actually prefer it.
