Cinema on your own : Sad or Independent?

sitstill · 19-05-2009 10:21PM #1

What do people think? Going to the cinema on your own during the day? Is it a bit sad?

Mena · 19-05-2009 10:22PM

Who cares? Go alone if you want, nobody is watching you.

AlmightyCushion · 19-05-2009 10:22PM

About as sad as having a **** in my opinion.

GhostInTheRuins · 19-05-2009 10:22PM

No, I've done it a few times myself. You're hardly going to the cinema to socialise for two hours.

Max Power1 · 19-05-2009 10:23PM

i'd normally consider going to the cinema for dating purposes only - but then again im not really into films

whatever youre into tho - its no worse than going to a bar on your own!!

i do it all the time.who cares really?

galwayrush · 19-05-2009 10:24PM

Yes when the wife doesn't like the film i want to see and vice versa.

Personally, I go to the cinema with my friends. As opposed to watching the movie I spend two hours looking around the cinema judging other people for being on their own.

What a ridiculous question. Anyone who suggests this is sad has serious emotional problems.

If I'm out shopping and get tired, I'll often go to a flick to sit down for a bit :pac:
Some films are good to watch in company, but there's plenty that are grand on your own.

I used to work near Screen, and my shifts used to finish at funny times. My bus (the 84, before they moved it) was near the cinema too. Sometimes the next bus wouldn't be for an hour or so, so I'd just go to the cinema.

I like going to the cinema on my own, total escapism.

phasers · 19-05-2009 10:32PM

Depends on the film.

Rom Com/Chick Flick = ghey or loser
Anythig else is grand.

Captain-America · 19-05-2009 10:33PM

It's the most anti social activity friends do. Go on your own.

What about a porn flick?

Zaph · 19-05-2009 10:34PM

If I'm going to see a film in the cinema I'm not going to spend the two hours chatting to the person next to me, so it doesn't really matter if I'm with someone or alone, but either's fine by me and going alone definitely isn't sad.

That makes you AWESOME!

Unless it's ghey porn

dotsman · 19-05-2009 10:36PM

Have done in the past if it's a movie I want to see and all my friends have either already seen it or have no interest.

Nothing wrong about it at all. Do you watch tv alone or do you always need company?

Ultimately, the only time 'going with friends' would be a big plus would be if you are watching a comedy or something similar as laughing out loud on your own might be a bit weird!

Shacklebolt · 19-05-2009 10:36PM

I wonder if the OP also regards watching DVDs alone as being sad or unusual.

GrumPy · 19-05-2009 10:37PM

There's something sexually arousing about someone on their own in a cinema.....

Its no more sad than going and trying on wedding dresses when your single ... on your own.

And is that something you did regularly when you were single?

Vinta81 · 19-05-2009 10:49PM

Well sometimes my mates don't want to see a particular film so I'll pop along by myself one night, I don't mind. Besides I'm not going for a chat/gossip and sometimes girls tend to do that and oh my godding at this and that part. I probably would of had the same reaction had you let me watch the bloody scene with your bloody tapping of my arm lol.

I feel sorry for people that feel as though they can't go alone...

It's so much better.. you don't jave to share your coke, you don't have to share your popcorn, you don't have to share your m'n'm's.. you don't have to hold hands..

I've also developed a technique for making sure i'm not sitting beside someone.. basically i take the 2nd seat in from the isle, if anyone asks about the isle seat, i'm waiting for my girlfriend.. movie starts and i move out to the isle seat ... hahah suckers.

Not sad at all.

Sit in one of those double seats* just to piss off potential groping couples.

/*do these exist still?

Not a bad idea at all

Also dont forget to buy any kind of snack with really crinkly wrapping, and make calls on your mobile.

Sometimes its nice to go see a film without having someone lean over to you and say, "Is that teh fella from the start of the film?"
