only on occasion
most of the time other people want to see the same stuff you do anyways |

agreed. although it does give you something to talk about later over a coffee or something |

yeah thats the reason couples used to go to movies together. had to keep quiet for a while then it gave them a lot of stuff to chat about later.
I've been to a cinema alone more than once. Nothing wrong about it. If you're bothered about what others will say if they see you there alone then you don't deserve to be living among civilized people - just get over it. |

I don’t know how it is around the rest of the country, but down here (south Florida), going to the movies SUCKS now. It’s like the drop off for all the little punk ass kids whose parents don’t want to deal with them, or don’t give a crap where their kids are or what they’re doing. It never fails...every time I go to a movie, there is always a big group of roudy teenagers making so much noise during the movie and they get kicked out. I don’t understand it. There are also cops everywhere now at all the movie theaters. How ghetto is that! And this is at the nice movie theaters too…not crappy ones. All these little thugs are taking over, it pisses me off. I swear I’m gonna end up in a fight one of these days with one of them, because I can’t hold my tongue and I’m always one of the ones going, "SHHH"! hahahah they hate me. |
dude you're not alone...the garbage that you have to deal with is EVERYWHERE...here in the bay area its the same punk high school/junior high school delinquents who act like they own the place...i seriously wish i can beat the living out of everyone of them cuz they suck |

| I used to work in a cinema. One good thing about the job was that I could go to see any film I wanted, at any time of the day or night whenever I felt like it, and could also take up to 4 friends with me for free. I never went by myself, but I would on my lunch break sometimes just go and watch a film for an hour or so. I guess that counts as by myself, but that's just because I happened to be in the building. Sometimes i'd just sneak in while I was meant to be working too and sit at the front hidden in my chair. I'd have my radio turned down, and could hear over it the managers going "where the s mike." :toothless |

i dont know about your experiences but i hated working in a theatre...the customers especially when you work in concession are so ing stupid and rude it pisses the out of me...you have people ordering 10 different items and all of a sudden changing their minds and making you take everything back and you have to completely change the order and restart...and we were only allowed to let one other person along with yourself to watch a free movie...and its especially ridiculous when people after walking out of a theatre they'd toss all their trash on or under the seats instead of taking it out and properly throwing it in trash cans right outside making our jobs more of a bitch
oh yeah and our pay was too...minimum wage suckers |

Of course i have been to the movies alone.Even when i have a girlfriend I sometimes watch alone anyways.(girls are just irritating in the cinema)
Also, I dont go to the movies on weekends..(the tickets are way to expensive and the crowds make the whole experience ty)thus..not many people are free on weekdays and I usually end up going to the movies alone.
Its fun and u dont have to explain to ur stupid friends about the plot.:D |

damn... can't believe some people still think that way. my general answer when i go to movies, clubbing, events, is mostly "alone" because it's the truth, and i don't mind it. don't have any friends to go to most places, have made a group of clubber friends recently though, but i normally fly solo to mostly, everything. |

I usually go by myself, mostly cos I'm usually seeing independant/non-hollywood movies that most people never bother with. I don't really see what the trouble is, frankly I prefer to go to the movies by myself, since:
a) you get complete freedom to choose what you're gonna see
b) it's not like you're gonna be talking to your friends while the movie is on (and if you do, shut the up, people are trying to watch a movie)
c) when you're alone it's easier to reflect over what you just saw and let the impressions sink in
d) you get the popcorn and/or candy all to yourself
It's always nice to sit next to someone you care about in the cinema and exchange views and reflections with them after the movie though, I'll admit that. |

| I go to movies by myself... not us much as i used tho. all my friends think its weird but i totally don't see their point. when i go with my friends, its like this thing when you have to dress up and make plans where to meet,what to do afterwards and that always falls on me :o . annoying. sometimes you just wanna go see a good quality movie and have quality sometime to yourself. i really don't see whats so wrong with that... oh well. |
