I'm already aware that I'm a loser. If I go alone then I won't even watch the movie. I'd just watch the seat next to me and Imagine i brought a girlfriend along.
Going to the movies alone?

I can not remember the last time I went to the movies, but I'm pretty sure I've never gone alone. I've considered going alone before, but never have.
I hate going to movies with anyone but my sister; she appears to be the only person who understands that, although sometimes talking is acceptable, IT USUALLY ISN'T.
But I do like going alone, especially in nearly empty theatres (I once had a completely empty one, for Smart People.

I've been going alone for several years now to the point going with others feels as awkward to me as going alone would feel to some of you guys. I go to watch the movie, take in the sounds, the sights, the story. Then again, I love movies, I try and watch as many as I can regardless of genre. Especially with the price of tickets now (£7,50) I don't want to spend my money to get interrupted, or have to explain things to anyone.
It may look weird but that's just how I work now.

I stopped going to the movies when I realized I get a better experience on my 42" than on some shitty looking screen (unless I'm paying out the ass for IMAX, which I've only ever done in the south cuz they serve beer).
That's a lie, I just went to see Inception. But for the most part, fuck da theatre.

This is the case for me. I usually only go to the cinema when my friends want to as i don't prticularly like going to my local cinema. My interests vary with theirs so I rarely do go and when I do it usually is rather boring for me. I'm supposed to go see Toy Story 3 soon, which is actually something me and my friends both want to see. Is it worth paying extra to watch in 3D?silver wolf009 said:
nope, never have, never will
Off Topic: last time I went it was a mate of mine who tricked me into seeing Eclipse. Feels bad, man.

I almost always go on my own. I finish work at 4 and there's a large cinema opposite so if there's a film I fancy seeing, I wait until it gets an early showing (between 4&5) and go then. Because its relatively early in the day the cinema is usually pretty empty so there are minimal distractions.
This is one of the reasons why I go alone. I have very different taste in films compared to my friends and so if there's a film I fancy, but no-one else does, I go alone.Hudson_sir_he said:

I like the idea of going alone. That way I won't be distracted by idiot friends and quietly enjoy the movie while other people deal with their idiot friends.
yeh i go to the movies by myself occasionally. I mean, while you're watching the movie, it shouldn't make any difference whether someone's with you or not, because you'd both just be watching the movie. Unless the person was annoying and distracted you from the movie, but why the hell would you go see a movie with them?
I don't go to the movies by myself often, but often I'll actually enjoy the movie more if i do so. because there is no one sitting next to me, i can take up more room, fart, do whatever.
