Would you go to the cinema on your own?

[Callum]

Just a random question because all of my friends are on a school trip to France, and I want to see a film but would you say it's 'weird' to go and see a film on your own?

I have never been on my own before, so personally would you go to the cinema on your own or is it just to uncomfortable for your liking?

[PrimaryObjective]

I would go on my own. Lots of people do.

[Lauren]

I haven't been on my own, but I would. It's not like I sit and chat throughout the film anyway, and when I watch films in my house I do it alone...

[xDramatick]

I wouldn't enjoy the film as much, but I would yeah.
My mates always find something funny to laugh about, films cause us to make personal jokes and we are guilty of chatting through films [quietly; i might add]

[MarkWaldorf]

I could never go on my own.
I need the company lol. Itd be really weird walking about on your own, when everyone else is like a couple/group etc.

[PrimaryObjective]

Out of curiosity: Why aren't you in France? And what film do you want to see?

[Spike]

I wouldn't because I like someone to go so I can steal their popcorn and then throw it over them
It would feel weird on my own and if the film is boring you can't talk through it.

[Billy]

I didn't want to go, I've been twice before and it was only a three day trip. I want to see WALL-E :blush2:

I was about to say that :tongue:

[PrimaryObjective]

Beat you to it. lol

I want to see Wall-E too! Don't you have young relatives you could take. A kid sister/brother/cousin/niece/nephew?

[Lauren]

Wall-E looks surprisingly good actually, I usually don't like animated films but I might make an exception...

[PrimaryObjective]

I like the pixar ones. Yes, I confess. I'm a big kid.

I have two young cousins who'd probably go and see it but I don't think my mum would allow me to take them on my own and I can't really imagine my mum sitting through a talking robot film if I'm being honest. :joker:

Nope. Never have done and never would do. The only point of going to the cinema is that it's a social event.

[PrimaryObjective]

Why don't you get your mum to drop you all off at the cinema and pick you up afterwards? That way you are only responsible for the kids during the actual film.

I agree, I'd be too embarrassed.

That is a good idea but if you knew my mum you'd know she's the type of person who worrys about everything. If she agreed on that, I bet she'd end up turning up in the end.

But if you really wanted to see a film and nobody was there to go with you - wouldn't you consider it then?

Well you could surely put up with your mum for a couple of hours if you got to see the film. After all, it's not like she's there with you, she'd be there with the little kids. So you save face and get to see the film.

Suppose but she always wants to know what's going on and that, you should have seen her in Mamma Mia dancing in the aisles and everything. :blush:

[Legend]

Gladly. Last time I went I went with a mate who chose the film, which was rubbish and then spoke throughout. If I wanted to see a film and nobody would go with me, I wouldn't really care, it's dark in there anyway. :whistle:

Nope. I'd wait until it came out on DVD.

[PrimaryObjective]

Oh dear. haha.

Well, my advice to you is to ensure that you are seated at the aisle, and then the two kids are between you and your mum. That way you can plausibly deny any association with her if she tries anything embarrassing. lol

Yes oh dear LOL.
I might try that idea or I might just go on my own.
Thanks for all the advice though :)

:laugh2:

I'm with PrimaryObjective on this one. Place yourself where you can cut association, LOL.

[Sarah.]

i have been on my own once and it was weird and i didn't enjoy it. it's loads better with someone else there.

You're the person I'd throw it back at and tell you to "not tell me to shh". LMAO.

[MrGaryy]

I could never face the shame! I get uncomfortalbe when the person I'm with goes to the bathroom! Plus, I HATE having to sit beside someone I don't know! This 1 time I went with some friends and we had a big popcorn fight, made loads of noise but still didn't get kicked out. Meh, Shrek 3 was **** anyway.

[Gemmer-x]

No i wouldn't.

[BigSister]

im going tommorow on my own as my friend doesnt want to go and see the film with me

[Ross]

I'd never go on my own.

I'd look so lame! I love going with alteast 1 person or 2. Big groups are ok but not the best.

I'd rather wait till it came out on DVD or wait till someone comes with me to go see a film, I wouldn't dare go on my own.

[Rocko]

For me, going to the cinema is a social thing. It's not about seeing a film, it's about watching a movie with mates. Go Orange Wednesdays - you have to be with someone to take advantage of it.

[Tom4784]

I couldn't go to the cinemas by myself, I like watching films with friends and talking about them afterwards.

[Christina]

Id prefer to be with somone x

[BigSister]

i dont go all the time i just go when my friend doesnt want to see the film i want to see and i want to see it

[melanie]

I wanted to vote no but I accidentally clicked yes. No because last time I was with a friend and she missed the last couple minutes to go to the washroom (she thought the movie was stupid) so when the movie ended I had to exit alone and someone grabbed me and covered my mouth. I turned around and it was this teenage boy and if anybody saw what he did they would of thought we were just playing around. I kind of just bit him, pushed him back and ran out. It was dark, noisy and there was a lot of people exiting so I don't think anyone cared/saw/heard.

[Loukas]

No, i just wouldn't injoy it, it would not be the same.. :conf2:

[XxShortyxX]

Noway, I wouldn't like to be on me Larry lol.

No im in constant need of company

[lookintomyeyes]

I'd never goto the Cinema on my own, that would be a terrible idea. The only positive is that I can eat all the popcorn and share nothing.

[Chrizzle]

Yeah I dont see a problem with it.

I would go on my own if I was upset, and needed to be cheered up probably

I never have, but I would
