where we at with the people who go to the movies by themselves?

[NortheastPhilly]

I did it once to see the most recent Tarantino movie. Was pretty new to San Diego and didnt really know anyone yet and I wasnt gonna miss it.

Being too awkward to do things by yourself, is the most gay zoomer shit I’ve ever heard

 

[AntSucks]

You are never in the theater by yourself... You are surrounded by friends... Peter Parker... Bruce Wayne... Diana Prince... Rey Skywalker.... they will always be with you.

There's no movies worth seeing that would get me to a theater in the first place. I used to think it wasn't gay to go to a theater alone but it's not normal. I'd rather torrent it and watch it on my big screen anyway without all the fat dirty cold faggoty theater atmosphere around me.

 

[Cuphead]

I do it and honestly who gives a fuck? Honestly there some movies I'd rather to see bymself and not drag my girlfriend or someone who I know isn't going to like it. I'd rather to see something like The Lighthouse by myself so I don't have to listen to dumb fucks complain about how it was too weird for them.

I saw Lawrence of Arabia by myself. An old lady sat beside me with her knitting.

The idea you can't do things alone is probably some primal fear response to being without the safety of your tribe.

When I was a kid, the town movie theater was in walking distance, because I lived in a Bumfuck, Middle of Nowhere. After my one friend moved away, I'd go to see a movie by myself every once in a while. Town had a curfew, so I'd feel like a badass walking home by myself after 10.

Watched Batman Begins with my new friends, but when Dark Knight came out, I had a night job, so went to a day screening by myself couple of weeks after it premiered. Was the only person in the theater. Watched Dark Knight Returns at home, what a piece of shit.

That's my story and I'm sticking to it.

I use to do it all the time, but only during the day.

My women didn't want to see a particular movie? Cool, I'm going to the 1pm weekend showing by myself. Didn't even think twice, but I wouldn't go alone on a Friday or Saturday evening.

 

[TheNanaDook]

I went to the movies quite a few times when I was a lonely, autistic sperg. Sometimes I wish I still could, my girl asks dumb fucking questions when we go, and I miss just going by myself and drinking too much.

 

[WhereWeAt]

I've done it a bunch of times when I'm traveling for work or when I just felt like watching a movie at 3 on a weekday afternoon before I was married. It's great and everyone's so in their own business that they aren't sizing you up or anything.

Why would your town have a curfew?

I went to the movies by myself once and it was embarrassing. It was to see Matrix Revolutions because I wanted to see it in IMAX. Boo.

My city had a curfew at one point. An actual horn would go off at 9PM. No joke.

It was never really enforced even when I was little, but I guess at one point if you were a juvenile out past 9 you got into trouble somehow. I'm pretty sure it had to do with crime.

I'll never forget the fucking 9 O'Clock horn.


Lol here's some FB boomers talking about the horn. I didn't know it was originally for wartime.

Who cares? No one's looking at you, they're in a dark room looking at a giant screen. Come on, man

I just think it's a group activity. I went to movies because a bunch of people had an excuse to hang out.

To me, it's like dining in a restaurant alone. I have done this, but only out of town. It feels pathetic and I wanted to kill myself.

You're too worried about how others perceive you.

You can eat alone because you feel others look at you funny?

 

[Wobelt Mewlel]

Call me old fashioned, but I always need someone else to watch.

 

[Mc.Faggot]

Doing stuff alone because you want to

Is different than doing stuff alone because you have too




But even if you have to do stuff alone, it’s cooler than not doing anything

Look, now I feel fucked up.

Then again, there's another thread going about people's shampoo fucking their lives up.

 

[SoloJoeAcousticShow]

I'd rather put on Alfred Hitchcock at home i bed with a twix bar and have a *perfect night*

 

[Chive Turkey]

I prefer not to go to the theater at all to be honest witya. Watching movies at home has never been easier. Can set up the audio so it's not too fucking loud, seat right where I want it, can eat and drink whatever I want, don't have to deal with random faggots giving me dirty looks for whacking my bag. The future is now, brothermen.

 

[Dani's Thick Legsters]

I went to a matinee of that shitty Tim Burton Planet of the Apes remake with Marky Mark by myself when I was a kid. I was the only person in the theater lol. It was weird as fuck but I watched the whole thing and considered beating off to Estella Warren at one point but didn't.

It only rules when you're the only person in the theater. Then it's like you own the place
