I've never been to a theater by myself. It seems to me that it would be more boring. The road home would be killer because you wouldn't have anyone to talk to the movie about. I just have to talk about a movie after I see it. xD Especially if it's a good one. However, if something that looked really good was out, and no one wanted to go, I'd probably just deal and go by myself. It would be weird, and I'm sure quite a few people would think I was creepy, but I'm good at ignoring things.

I don't really go to the movies with friends. Partly because I lack many real life friends. xD I need to join some club or something, I guess.

When I go to the movies I usually go with my mother. I don't like going alone because then you don't get to gossip about how awesome/sucky it was and say how that one person kept coughing and everything. 8D;

I'd feel self-conscious going alone, but I don't see anything wrong with it. However, I don't think I would mind if I knew that the theater wouldn't be busy. I just really hate having to sit next to people I don't know. XD

I can't even remember the last time I've gone to the movies, I'd rather wait to rent it on DVD or watch it on TV instead of pay outrageous movie theater prices.

I don't go to see movies unless someone invites me along. Movies aren't something I really care about, so... no. I really prefer to just watch it at home. So I don't do it for social reasons, just because I never think to go to the theater (not to mention I almost never feel motivated to see a movie)...

Also not going to the movies and waiting for it to come out on DVD saves you some cash and from a crappy movie.

I've never been to the movies alone. I think I should try it. Sounds like it would be extremely relaxing. Now I realllly wanna do that ... hmm. *ponders*

I go alone sometimes, but not all the time. I don't go the threatres that much these days, since tickets cost so much.

Rheks 05-11-2008 09:24 PM

No, I wouldn't particuarly want to anyway, it's fun to have a friend/my sister with me. x3

I go to the movies on my own at least once a week. There are a lot of movies that I want to see and very few people to go with so I just go on my own on a weekday when there is no one else in the theater usually and enjoy the day. I find it a lot nicer actually than going with a bunch of people. It becomes relaxing alone time rather than an outing that you have to prepare for.

Not normally because I woudn't have any way of getting there if I went alone.
I actually just went to the movies last Friday with my boyfriend, and only paid 2$ to see 10,000 BC. I've wanted to see it for awhile. Surprisingly one of the movie theaters here was still showing it.

Sethirius 05-18-2008 08:35 AM

Well, I've really only ever went to the movies alone once, but that's because I was in a new town, and didn't know anybody. Ahaha.

Though, now I'm back in my old city so...

I would go to them alone more often, if the theaters weren't so far out. xP

Kiwii Yamz 05-18-2008 10:18 AM

I hate going places myself so i usually go with my husband

Ritz 05-18-2008 02:08 PM

I've never gone to the movies alone, but I have nothing against the idea as my friends are rarely in town. It's moreso just timing that has prevented me from doing so. Buuut, that's a good idea and I might try to find some time to do so soon if something strikes my interest.

RAPsody 05-18-2008 04:41 PM

Until they had VHS and now DVD people didn't have a choice... either go alone, or miss out. (if you had no option, as someone to go with) But still I really love the experience of going to a theater... so I don't mind going alone if no one is available. You can't worry what people think or the 'looks'...just like anything else in life, you just do it. Sometimes it's really nice to be alone... to have that experience to yourself.

NovaStar 05-26-2008 06:49 PM

I don't really like going to the movies by myself, i usually try and ask one of my friends to go with me to the movies. If not then I'll probably wait til it comes out on DVD being as I don't really go out to the movies that often anyway.

For-Chan Cookie 05-26-2008 08:42 PM

I've gone to a few movies alone. They're usually ones I really really want to see and know that no one will go with me. There was no way I would have been able to drag a friend with me into the Digimon movie XD

The last movie I saw alone was Brokeback Mountain.

I don't go to the movies alone anymore because I hardly ever go to the movies and lately, nothing has come out that I needed to see and no one would go with me. My mother is a shop-a-holic and buys like every movie in existence so I don't need to go see them when they just come to me. XD

Lips.Like.Morphine 05-27-2008 05:11 PM

I have never gone alone but I'd love to.
I find it kinda awkward when I go with friends... I don't know why. :XD
But yeah, I think it would rock to go see a film all by myself. =3

iAlkemy 05-28-2008 02:03 PM

If there's a film I really want to see, but none of my family or friends want to see it, I'll go alone. It doesn't bother me, because most of my friends like to chat during the movie, and I prefer paying attention to the plot, and not some hot guy in the middle row. |:

Blackout 05-28-2008 04:08 PM

Ive only been to the movies alone once or twice but when i do go alone, I find its cheaper!! haha

smolder 05-31-2008 07:13 PM

I never have gone to the movies alone but thats mainly because my sister and I have similar tastes so if I want to see a movie chances are she does as well so we just go together, makes it more fun.

TelstelNSG1 06-13-2008 03:37 PM

hey there
i go to the cinemas alone
i don't care what people think, if i want to see the movie badly enough i'll see it lol
but the last few movies i saw i watch them with friends
movies these days are getting way worse than they use to be
nothing is tasteful anymore, i don't know it just me i suppose

Junnith 06-13-2008 04:02 PM

I don't think I've ever gone to the movies alone.

I wouldn't be afraid to or uncomfortable to or anything like that, but I normally don't plan to see a movie unless I have someone to see it with. It's just more fun that way, for me. O:

Kannon_San 06-21-2008 06:41 PM

Ack. not when i watch scary things, then i get all paranoid. xD.
so, i guess i will, just nothing horrid or anything like that! :).

Violet_Beauregarde91 06-24-2008 03:13 PM

I don't go to the movies alone. I'm too young to drive, so I go with my parents, maybe a friend or my siblings if they say it's ok.
