I am the exact same way (my other half HATES scary movies).

I've only been to one movie alone. Event Horizon. Perhaps that is why I haven't since. Fucked up movie... even worse when there are only a few other people in the theater at that time.

Originally posted by tubularbills Do you go to movie theatres (or "Cinemas", if you want to call it) by yourself? ever seen a movie you wanted to, but no one else did so you just went alone? my housemate just got back from watching Beowulf. i kinda wanted to see it; but he didn't even ask...he just upped and left, and came back some 2-3 hours later and said he did. I thought it was a bit odd that he went by himself. considering he's living w/ someone of the same age bracket. me personally, i've never gone to the theatre by myself; and i don't really want to. it's much more fun/enjoyable w/ people. isn't movie going supposed to be a social event? thoughts?

I've been going to the movies alone since I was like 12...since when is sitting in a big dark room not talking to anyone a social experience? I hate waiting to see something because I have to coordinate things with other people also why wait until something comes on DVD to see a movie because nobody will see it with you when you can see it in all it's glory in the theater?

I think you need to stop worrying about what your roomate does in his free-time, Tubularbills.

If I am presented with the opportunity to go to a movie with somebody, I will. For the most part though, I go to movies alone and look down on the people who are so socially inhibited, they just couldn't bear to be seen ... alone!!!!

hell yeah ill go alone. going to the movies has to be the most unsocial social thing you do anyway.

i went to multiple viewings of THE prequels by myself.

i suppose. it really doesn't bother me that much. i was just curious if other people did too. especially if the opportunity to go w/ someone was there. i mean, if a buddy of yours said, "hey , wanna go see [whatever]?" would you answer, "no, i think i'll pass. i want to see it alone."

meh

Well, I mean, between this and his video game playing, I just don't see why you seem to talk about him so much. >.>

guess its cause i haven't really had a roommate in quite some time (may of 06 when i moved out to shreveport).

we're all different people....guess it just would have been nice to live w/ someone who has more in common with me.

Well what's he doing right this moment on a Friday night?

playing the video game...

Yeah, but you're in the other room, sitting on TA, beer in hand, no?

right.

but earlier in the afternoon, when i was around, he didn't ask if i wanted to see a movie or anything with him. i asked him when i went to the casino if he was interested, and he said no and went right back to the game.

i guess its just not the same as it was in college....when you lived w/ someone, you did stuff together....i'm not sure if you've ever had roommates or not; but i always tried to do things w/ mine. it just made the living situation more fun, you know?

i'm not saying he has to do *Everything*; but this movie incident i guess kind of disappointed me.

Yeah, it sounds like your experiences with share housing were quite similar to mine. In most (I stress, most ) places I lived with other people, the household would almost function as a social unit of it's own. I mean, everyone had their own friends and schedules and so forth, but it would always be like "Hey, me and some guys are heading out to a club/whatever later, you guys wanna come too?" Everyone was always let know if there was something/anything happening, and the people in those households grew close very quickly. I'm still friends with a load of people that I randomly met through moving into a spare room.

Me too.

I went to see The Da Vinci Code by myself. I loved it. Let me have some time to chew on it by myself... it was peaceful and relaxing. I like to do a lot of things by myself.

A lot of things by yourself eh? Like what?...

lol, wut?

I go to movies alone a lot. After you get out of school the pace of life slows down a lot. Most of my friends are married now or in serious relationships so calling them up for a movie doesn't work out most the time. Also my theater is a ways away so I never go at night, I usually go for a cheaper time while I have chores to do in the city. Spending $10 for a ticket at night is ridiculous.

I never did jack shit with my roommates. I did a bunch of stuff with my friends, but to me my roommates were just randoms I was forced to live with.

I think it helped with respect issues. I know damn well they hated living with me but they didn't give me grief because we weren't on that friend level.

I relish time by myself, so I have definitely gone to a number of movies on my own. Whether it was because no one I knew would want to see it or just because I wanted to, it's just something I've traditionally really enjoyed.

Originally posted by l�cid i used to go to movies by myself all the time. when i had my studio downtown, i was about a mile down the street from my favorite movie theater, so on Saturday or Sunday afternoons when i had nothing to do i'd walk down there and see a movie by myself. as for movies being social events, i think that's kind of bullshit. you sit in the dark and pay attention to a screen in front of you. sure, it's nice to have someone to go with and talk about the movie afterwards, but if i want to be social i'll go out for food or drinks at a restaurant/bar/club/whorehouse.

+1

I have a little movie theater directly across the street from my apartment, and though I haven't fully taken advantage of it yet, I have no problem catching a movie on my own. That way I'm guaranteed to see a movie that I want to see and not something that "the group" can agree to. I used to work in a movie theater, and would sit in on a bunch of movies on my own after I got down with my shift. Not a big deal at all.

Now that I think about it, I should probably go to the movies alone so I can have the large popcorn and the motor oil heart-attack butter all to myself
