Do you go to the movies alone?

inspired by the movies thread in social

[snoodmonger]

Yes. I'm not a pathetic panty-waste who's ability to enjoy himself lies solely in my association with humans.

[abuck1220]

yes, i'm not so insecure and worried what strangers think of me to prevent me from seeing something i want to see.

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

I have gone alone. I prefer not to. I really don't go very often.

[Derwood]

Yes. If the options are a) see LOTR in the theater alone or b) not see LOTR in the theater at all, it's a pretty clear choice. After 11 years of marriage, you stop trying to make your wife go see stuff you know she won't like.

[NewUserName]

I wouldnt go to just any movie alone. I like to see movies like "No Country for Old Men" alone.

[C.C.]

Going alone and seeing what you want to see or endless hours debating what movie to see with others.

 

I don't have the patience.

[Banedon]

I'm just throwing this out there, but maybe some people aren't insecure or worried about strangers judgements of them, but maybe they just PREFER to go with others?

 

I don't order pizza with mushrooms on it. That doesn't mean I'm afraid of mushrooms, or hate mushrooms, I just don't prefer my pizza with them.

These answers probably say more about you than those you are attempting to distance yourselves from.

[abuck1220]

and what would that be?

[jersey cubs fan]

and what would that be?

 

that you're paranoid

The only time I really did was a few years ago when I was taking classes and I had a 3+hour break between my aftenoon class and my night class, and I lived about an hour away. That semester, I saw I dont know how many movies that I never would have had any intention of seeing otherwise.

Am I the only one suprised that goony of all people won't go see a movie alone?

Actually, he hasn't said that. And the question wasn't "Will you go see a movie alone?" It was "Do you to the movies alone?" Those are very different questions. I answered no for the second question, but I'd answer yes to the first.

[SouthSideRyan]

Maybe you just don't have any friends.

[sweetpeteman]

No, but thats mostly because I don't go to many movies in the first place, so unless other people are already going and invite me, or a friend suggests it, I probably wouldn't go anyways.

I did say "never have never will" in the other thread. Although I probably shouldn't say never will. I doubt I ever will though, at least until I'm an old man. I don't go to many movies as is though, so when I do it's with at least my wife, if not some others as well.

[bukie]

To me, comedies and romance stories are movies never meant to be seen alone. Superhero films? I can and will see those alone.

[rawaction]

I have gone to the movies by myself a couple times. A couple more times I have gone to see one thing while the people I'm with go see something else (usually happens when kids are involved). But it's been a while. I don't really go to movies much at all unless it's a drive-in and those are definitely no fun alone.

[wolf stansson]

I actually really enjoy going alone.

[Sammy Sofa]

I tend not to go alone, only because I enjoy talking about the movies afterwards wih my friends.

I've gone to a couple movies alone but it was usually during times in college when a majority of my friends were out of town. I remember going to see Rocky Balboa alone because I was so bored at my apartment a couple years ago. If I can go with someone else, I prefer that. But if nobody wants to go or there's nobody to go with, I'd go by myself.

[TruffleShuffle]

no, if i want to go to a movie i will usually just ask a few people until someone wants to go. i think "the kite runner" was the last movie i did this with.
