Do you go to movies by yourself?

[Sorce]

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.

I don't go to movies at the theater very much anymore, but I have gone solo several times when I do.

A long time ago, I went to see a matinee of Die Hard 2 and I was the only person in the entire theater. They showed that movie to me and me alone.

What if I accidentally see a children's movie?

I'm going to see it, still just feels weird .

Yes. Love it. I like going during the day when most people are working or on a Sunday afternoon. Especially after a bad chiefs loss to take my mind off the game.

Yeah....when I have gone....it's been to a matinee during the middle of a weekday. Way cheaper and not busy at all.

Plus, you can let rip a loud fart in a midweek matinee and nobody will hear it and/or care.

If its a movie I really want to see, and cannot find anyone else to go I do. Yes it does feel a bit weird, but once the movie starts its all Bantha Fodder.

I go to the movies by myself all the time. It's convenient because my gym is right next to the theater I frequent. I run to the gym with a bag, work out, take a shower, and head to a quick matinee for half the price.

It's not like you can talk to whoever you're with while you're there anyway so I don't see why it's viewed as weird.

Only very rarely, I always feel like an oddball sitting there by myself, same thing for restaurants.

That's what I love about weekday matinees. Plus being self-employed.

I used to have a problem eating alone in restaurants but not anymore. Have to do it from time to time when I had to work late in the city or travel so I got used to that early. That plus waitressing in art school and seeing others doing it.

One time and I never did it again, it was lame

I have 3 or 4 times. Mostly matinee. I felt self conscious for some reason when I went to a evening/night showing and the theater was packed. But for a matinee, it's pretty cool.

[Fire Me Boy!]

I've been by myself quite a bit, both while I was reviewing and for pleasure. Mainly if it's a movie I want to see and wife/friends aren't interested, but occasionally just because I wanted to. I particularly like that it's a very peaceful, pleasant experience by myself.

[Lonewolf Ed]

I generally do, and it is great when the kiddies are in school to catch a movie during the week. Sometimes, I have the entire theater to myself. No one texting and yapping... ahhhh, nice.

[Donger]

No.
