Cinema on your own : Sad or Independent?

Went plenty of times on my own, when waiting for a bus/lift etc, or goddammit I just wanted to see a particular film that none of my mates had any urge to see.....I remember doing this for Armageddon, Saving Private Ryan, The Truman Show....oh those were the days, and more recently the last Star Wars film....middle of the day, cinema empty cept for me, heaven! Dont go anymore, oh the joys of illegal downloading :cool:

What really gets my goat is when I say to people I was at the cinema, and they reply "Oh? Who is she?!", as if they presume it was a date. Muppetts, as if the cinema is ONLY for couples. :rolleyes:

Anyone ever hear of DLP?



Im just wondering if its worth the extra $3 to see it in DLP than an old fashioned matinee.

Sounds like what you've got in your standard home or office projector???

I reckon all modern cinemas are using this technology no ???

I went to see Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix on my todd. The guy at the counter even made an attempt to joke about the fact that I was on my own. It was the night before my mother`s funeral, I didn`t want to talk to anyone, I`d drunk so much tea over the last few days I was beginning to perspire the stuff, I`d had it with the whole world and it`s dogs feeling sorry for me, and the film itself was coming up to the end of it`s run, so the cinema was mercifully empty. It was such a liberating experience, to sit there alone, in the dark, unnoticed. That being said, i`ve not been to the cinema alone since.

Going it alone is fine.............not getting Nachos is SAAADDDD!!!!!

A few years ago when I was about 12/13, and before anyone had mobile phones, myself and 2 friends from school had been going to the cinema together every few weeks.

One Saturday we were supposed to go, but 1 of them wasn't given any money or something like that, so the 2 of us were still going to go. I knoked in to his house and his brother told me "he's already gone, are you not meant to meet him there?"

Cue little Stevie hopping on the bus and running to the cinema.... no sign of the friend. I thought - "maybe he's already inside" so I bought my ticket and went in. No sign of him inside either, so having paid I decided to stay. I think it was one of the Star Trek films that was out at the time.

I got some slagging once people found out I went to see Star Trek on my own. When I saw said friend in school the following Monday he told me he had been taken to visit his granny by his parents. His f**kin' brother was acting the cnut and knew exactly where he was! Baxtard!

depends.

I went to war of the worlds on my own cause my friend cancelled on me and I really wanted to see the movie. That's independant.

However when I went to see high school musical 3 with friends and there was a man in the corner by himself that's sad...........and weird I also know of a late twenties guy who went to see the hannah montana movie, by himself.
