I love going to the movies alone, always have, and I have to hear shit about it all the time. You're watching the movie, not paying attention to your friends, who gives a shit how many people you're there with.

EATING alone is for fucking losers, though.

I will ONLY go to the movies by myself, same with vacations/holidays.

The older I get the more I cherish some "me time", not to mention that getting people on the same schedule is hard these days.

Ain't no big thing, op. ;-)

Just purchased my matinee ticket for Covenant. Going enjoy a nice breakfast at a local family owned coffee shop before I head over.

Before we had kids my wife and I would sometimes go to the theatre and watch different movies. I hate being talked to when the show is on and if we don't fully agree on a flick why force a compromise? After we'd go eat or something and take about our movies, good times.

I've done this before. Especially with Marvel movies because I hate explaining who everyone is while trying to watch. Go watch Fifty Shades and let me enjoy my superheroes!

Just arrived at restaurant/ bar


Alone.


Good times
I prefer going alone, people are usually a little bit interesting the first time I meet them. Most people bore me within 5 minutes, then I make them uncomfortable and we tend to part ways.

I took my anniversary off this year to go see John Wick 2 by myself. It was a great decision.

Truth be told going to the movies with others is a pretty terrible idea. Especially when fucking stoners insist on getting baked before the movie.

There's only 2 vehicles in the parking lot, no one in line, concession counter empty, and I don't have to share nachos with anyome. This is the greatest movie theater experience I've ever had!

Just wait until you can watch the movie in peace and quiet.

More than anything, I walked right to my favorite seat and no one was there.
The theater here is all preassigned seating now. Even in that environment going solo is a huge because when people buy their pairs they always leave a one seat buffer between the nest set of sold seats.

We don't have that here yet, but it's coming. We go to Baton Rouge's Movie Tavern often that has pre-seating and you order food that they bring to you.

My other half had an all day interview out of town but I still wanted to travel with him, I did some sightseeing and went to see The Revenant on my todd, it was the longest movie there thus killing the max time and there were only 3 of us in the cinema. It only felt weird to begin with really.

I travel for a living, so being alone is no big thing for me. I don't mind going to movies alone, but my wife and I like the same type of movies, so I usually wait till I'm home.

I'm off tomorrow and want to watch Guardians and Covenant. Apparently my 5 year old isn't allowed to watch Guardians, according to his mother, and he isn't old enough for some good ole Alien fun.

We're going watch Baby Boss today and I was just going to watch the others tomorrow lol.

I have two good friends, but both are offshore for a well head inspection for the next week or so.

I keep my circle small...
Holy shit bro
Same predicament.
Gonna go see the new alien by myself.
Pretty sad.
I like to go see movies with my gf or buddies. So we can share our experience afterwards.
