I don't go to the cinema, but if I wanted to see a movie then of course I'd go alone. Why would you care what anybody else thinks anyway? :shrug:

I prefer going with people so you can talk about it afterwards but I've gone on my own for films that my friends aren't typically interested in. I think the last films I saw on my own were Isle of Dogs and Love, Simon.

Amy Jade 12-06-2019 06:15 PM

I don't like going on my own, I like someone to talk about it with after but nothing wrong with going on your own at all.

This is kinda random but once I accidentally booked the disabled seats which are up a lift and you go down a narrow corridoor and into a closed off box with 2 seats and it was just me and my boyfriend watching a horror (iirc The Nun) and he went the toilet and I was ****ting myself all on my own so I'd be scared to see a horror on my own!

I haven’t done it before but I wouldn’t say it’s sad, no

Cal. 12-06-2019 06:24 PM

I’d be far too self conscious omg

It's literally sitting in the dark watching a movie, nothing wrong with going on your own if there's something you want to see . they'll always be some other people going on their own .

sleleen 12-06-2019 06:43 PM

I wouldn’t care sitting there on my once you get there but all the queuing up and if you see someone etc would be so awkward

What about booking online?

Vanessa 12-06-2019 07:22 PM

With my taste in movies not many people want to come with me. I love horror movies :joker:

It's like people who think it's weird to go to a restaurant on your own

You know, take control of your life! Live it! Do what you want, find new experiences bcos you never know whats round the corner

New Italian restaurant round the corner? Visit it! Don't wait for the opportunity to pass you by

Well said Underscore

I go to the cinema maybe 6 or 7 times a year and it's usually alone :joker:. I like it! Especially on quiet days. But I like my own company because I'm awesome :shrug:.

My wife has been with me three times in the last year and that's an unusual amount :joker:... she wanted to see Bohemian Rhapsody and Pikachu and I managed to convince her to come to Captain Marvel :hee:. In general though, I only go to the cinema to see action / blockbuster type films and no one else in my family is a fan. We watch plenty of movies together but for "quieter" films we all prefer watching at home :shrug:.

Go on like a Tuesday lunchtime and you'll only see 3 or 4 other people the whole time :laugh:

It's so true though, like I myself would feel uncomfortable going to the restaurant/cinema on my own but at the end of the day it shows real strength if you can do that...

I went on holiday once and met this old woman who travels around on her own (and this was to Mexico), and so so so much kudos to her...

Braden 12-06-2019 07:44 PM

I adore going to the cinema by myself. There's nothing better than being in that environment and atmosphere by yourself, and getting into a really good film.

When I was at university I went by myself at least 15-20 times. I used to go the Silver Cinema screenings a lot where tickets were only £3, and it used to be me and a theatre full of pensioners :joker:

They built a new ODEON while I was there, which was gorgeous. The IMAX theatre was enormous.

...we can so much live within our own restrictions and when we break those restrictions down...?...they mostly don’t make sense and there is no reason for them...so you’re so right, Underscore...it’s a liberating feeling to take control of yourself with lots of things that you want to do or try, you know.... because as you say...?...otherwise perfect moments can pass you by and things can’t always be revisited...

...you are most wise, Underscore..:flutter:...

Tony Montana 12-06-2019 07:50 PM

I’m at the cinema right now by myself about to watch Godzilla 2. :D

i've been away from home on business loads of times, many of which were on my own. You have the choice of sitting vegetating in a hotel room or getting out, seeing the area, eating, drinking and sampling the entertainment. Loads of people do their own thing, on their own, every single day.
