Sometimes you have to or else you'll never see it in theaters. I'm kind of worried that I'll start laughing excessively like I usually do and people will think I'm insane, though. But I guess that will be their dilema. Graveflower 09-15-2002, 07:37 PM Yes. It is incredibly depressing, but so is everything I do, so it balances out.

Irrelevant 09-15-2002, 08:14 PM i actually went to The Good Girl with someone, like, besides my dad or brother. but it was a girl, and the guy at the ticket counter tried to make me pay for both of us. i was like "what? no."

Samsa 09-15-2002, 09:16 PM mjl does i don't know if that's a secret or no i simply don't go to a movie. last movie i went to i went with my parents. we saw signs. it was good cuz you can bury your face in your mom's shoulder but you can't really do that with any girl friends. Eulogy 09-15-2002, 09:21 PM I probably would occasionally if I could drive and stuff. Only if it was something I really wanted to see though. Crono 09-15-2002, 09:50 PM being that i haven't seen any movies in the theaters in a while... no... but when I used to work at one it was like, off of shift, into the movie. But then again, i never had any trouble getting someone to go with me because w/me=free movie, pop, and popcorn. PauL Salena Child 09-15-2002, 10:36 PM i have gone to the movies alone. i felt like everyone was staring at the back of my neck. Like they knew. so i pretended that someone was supposed to show up by putting my jacket on the chair next to me, so when someone asked if they could sit there i would say that it was taken. it's sad. i had no one to tell if i thought the movie sucked.

I like to go to the movies by myself and I think I've already made a post about that. It's certainly nothing to be ashamed of. ------------------ http://mywebpages.comcast.net/mledrew/shiggy.jpg In-Valid 09-15-2002, 10:46 PM my movie etiquette: * never alone * with 1 other person only if it's a date * with 2 or more, always OK. clauses/amendments: * usually going w/ friends means going to watch the current week's most marketed movie which usually means you walk out feeling ripped off even at matinee prices (ex. any jurassic park movie after # 1, tim burton's planet of the apes, star wars prequels, hot shots, any batman after 2) * movie date usually means giving in & watching a "chick" flick (ex. yes I watched a walk to remember ...twice...& I liked it....shoot me). * many movies I really like I have only watched on the small screen (TV) since it was impossible to get anyone to watch it when it came out on big screen (gattaca, the others, etc) watching a movie alone at home is always best if you really want to get into it....watching with friends you just end up talking shite throughout the movie & end up watching it after their gone anyways. I just can't bring my self to go to a movie theatre alone....i'm a social conformist ! Delta 09-15-2002, 10:47 PM ive got no problems going alone. its the only way i can get out to see any independent or foreign films, since all my friends ever want to see are the summer blockbusters and action flicks and i notice a sizable portion of indie theatre audiences are alone anyways, so its not like you stand out at all Mr. Rhinoceros 09-15-2002, 10:54 PM <font color=#007AAA>I'd rather see a movie I don't want to see with other people, but if it's something I've been looking forward to, I'll go alone. I don't want people asking me "What's going on? Who's that guy? Why is his wife going to jail?" when I'm trying to watch a Coens flick. ------------------ Sometimes I think I'd be better off dead. No, wait, not me, you.

Mr. Rhinoceros 09-15-2002, 11:13 PM <font color=#007AAA> I hate watching the Usual Suspects with people who have never seen it before: "Who's that guy? What's he doing? Who stole the van?

I do lots of things alone, what's the difference? sleeper 09-16-2002, 09:25 AM <font face="Arial, Verdana" size="2">Originally posted by DeviousJ: </font> alot of people feel like a loser going to something like a movie alone. i think movies have become more of a social event than about seeing the movie. so being at it with out anyone is almost "out of place" now. its like eating at a restaurant. its there to provide food, but it ends up being serving more of a social purpose than a food one. i would go to a restaurant alone but i have to admit, id feel weird about it. and i hate that. TiaraGurl 09-16-2002, 10:01 AM 1st movie I saw by myself -Listen to Me (1989) Most recent movie I saw By mysself-my big fat greek wedding (last saturday) I will see either of these two movies by myself sometime today: igby goes down or read my lips. ------------------ Once reserved for royalty, brides and debutantes, tiaras became a popular accessory in the early 90's for fringe celebrities. Now the glittery adornment has been adopted by a new generation of party girls. Samsa 09-16-2002, 10:54 AM eh. i've never b een to a movie alone. i've gone to a movie with my parents a couple times and gotten mad at them and sat alone (life is beautiful, ghostworld) but never gone alone. i dunno why. renting movies and watching them alone is da bomb though. |
