Misc Do you go to movies by yourself? - Page 6

Sorce · 08-01-2014, 02:52 PM

I normally go with my wife or friends but my wife is out of town and friends are all busy tonight. I really want to see Guardians of the Galaxy tonight, just feels weird going alone. I guess it's because most of the time I go with other people but you aren't really interacting with the people you go with so it shouldn't seem strange.

I know some people go to movies by themselves all the time. So do you think it feels strange or no big deal.

Going to the movies solo is no big deal. Going to a restaurant, I wont go unless I sit at the bar where I can always make friends. I don't get the whole dinner and a movie thing. Why would you take a date to a movie? You can't talk, after dinner and its clicking. The last place I want to go is to a movie.

the only time i've ever gone to a movie alone was on a sunday afternoon in the summer.
ended up watching spiderman 3. it was 3 or 4 weeks after the premier. and there were like 3 or 4 people total there.
because, well i'd seen the other 2, so i had to watch it, right?

pretty sure there was a "how i met your mother" joke made about my situation.

Yeah, a good date is an exotic trip where you can talk on the plane for a few hours first. It's a good first date as well. Then you don't have to waste time dating for months because when you live and travel with someone for a short time and tells you a LOT!

I draw designs all over a bunch of napkins. I read Steven Speilberg does that too. Great people are alike I guess. Alone in a restaurant is a great idea generator for some reason. The Laffer curve was drawn on a napkin too. It's essentially Selfie-Brainstorming on Napkins. There ought be a "How To" book on it.

I don't know what sort of men you're dating, but there is NO ****ING WAY I'd drop that kind of cash on a first date. There isn't a woman or man on earth worth that much investment to "get to know". Maybe I'm too young - is this something desperate old men actually do?

Incidentally, I've decided to hit up an IMAX 3D showing of GotG later this morning. Seems like it'll be a nice segue into grocery shopping and lunch.

I go alone a lot....my wife shops while I sit through a movie and then we meet up after the movie to do lunch or dinner (depending on movie time). It is a win for both of us.

Men who let their women shop are good men. I shopped for 7 hours yesterday and I was exhausted. It's hard work ya' know.

The first movie of the day is 5 bucks no one is there but me. I can't troll people, but it is still.fun.

I saw Passion of the Christ by my self.

I remember it..

Jesus was like 'My name is Jesus'

Master Reynolds was like 'Your name is Toby' and whipped Jesus good.

Jesus was like 'My name is Jesus'

Master Reynolds 'No your name is Toby' and whipped Jesus some more

Jesus was like 'No Mother ****er my NAME is Jesus' in Samuel L. Jackson voice.

Well Master Reynolds took Jesus to Pilot and they turned him over to the Jews and they beat Jesus to a pulp and hung him on a cross but he still called himself Jesus and forgave them for they knew not what they were doing.

Sorce · 08-02-2014, 03:42 PM

Well didn't go last night but made it to the matinee today. Wasn't weird at all once I overcame the initial weirdness. Best part was after the movie I didn't have to stand around in the lobby waiting for people to use the restroom, I just got in my car and left.

The movie was awesome by the way.

That is the best movie review I have ever read.

I wear a long rain coat when I got to weekend matinees. Just to freak the kiddies out.

Just Passin' By · 08-02-2014, 08:12 PM

Went to GOTG by myself this afternoon. I met some nice people beforehand, enjoyed the movie, talked about it with the people I'd met and went home happy.

No worries.

GloryDayz · 08-02-2014, 08:14 PM

I often times leave "the movies" for times I'm on the road, so I don't mind at all going alone.
