Going to the movies by yourself (3 Viewers)

well, was it better than going with friends? I think it really depends on the genre.

well im going to keep comedy movies for when i go with my friends (for example the dictator). but action movies i will probably watch alone.

bro sounds like you have some serious issues.
i would recommend a shrink.

Possibly. Truth is I'm secure enough about my friends and myself not to care for the petty social conventions that drive your life. If you want to socialise go to a party or talk to someone in person- sitting silently next to someone in a movie to connect seems kind of ironic to me.

Going on your own is awesome - genre specific though, as has been said.

People who criticize you for going on you own have issues with their independence. Confidence/social dependence/identity problems are also possible.

well one of the reasons i made this thread was because a couple of times when i have managed to persuade my friends to come with me to a movie i have had to pay for part of their ticket. and then the actual persuading part was so annoying, like for example i wanted to see 21 jump street but my friend said he wanted to watch this means war. wtf thats a chicks movie, im not paying to see that.
i really just got sick of going through all that.

Nothing wrong with going to the movies alone, I go by myself all the time just because I can't be screwed to organise with other people.

Nothing wrong with it! It's not like your attention is on them for majority of the time anyway

I get so paranoid when I do it. looking over the shoulder and shit.

bos movie club

we meet up every wednesday night

but we don't sit together - see you there, don't be a square!

Start a movie blog and convince yourself and others around you that you are going to the Cinema by yourself to write reviews for your readers!

Bit late, but I did find a relevant news article:

 

[mirakon]

That is a pretty stupid article tbh

 

[thrillkiller]

"strait after work" ? what the heck kind of magazine is this

 

[Shadowdude]

It's from the... "Eastern Suburbs Leader" or something like that.

I picked it up at the maccas near UNSW yesterday. There was a big pile of them so I took one.


I mean, the spelling mistakes just ooze a sense of 'community newspaper'...

 

[mirakon]

depends on the movie

if its a comey or mindless action flick or something then yeah, thats pretty sad

but if its actualyl a serious movie that you might really enjoy then fuck your friends they'll probably fuck things up and be annoying cunts

agreed

like when I went to watch The Avengers it was really fun witrh friends.

But I cannot imagine watching movies such as No Country For Old Men, There Will Be Blood etc. with friends.
