Went to see force awakens alone. Seemed like good idea. It was like day after christmas or some shit. Was a bit hangover and only other people there were like some guy with 2-3 kids.
Thanks for reading my blog
Yeah, all the time back in the 90's. My mom worked right next to a theater and during the summer she'd always take me every friday and buy me a ticket for an R movie.
What's this delusion that theaters are only for multiple people to go to when you don't talk during movies anyway? It's not a good date night, it's not a good friend night, it's for watching a movie. That's it.
The idea is that you watch a movie together and discuss it afterward, probably over dinner / snacks / drinks / whatever. It's a zero effort shared experience.
i talk during movies, i crack jokes and make my friends laugh all the time. people next to me that aren't them probably get mad at me but get fricked i guess
Nothing beats that. Coming out of a good film with friends and getting to talk about it over a drink afterwards. When I watch films alone at home I have to go on fricking letterboxd and read reviews. Not the same.
>It's not a good date night
true >it's not a good friend night
frick no! Nothing beats watching a movie with your pals and having some laughs. Like, there's nothing wrong with going to the movies alone either, but man, come on.
I actually prefer going alone unless I know the theater's going to be practically empty and no one will give a shit if my friends are talking during it.
An exception was watching Get Out with my friends and laughing along to the whole theater (black guys) roasting whatever her name was.
she's at work, she's taking the piss out of you, replying like a corny cringy virgin would be the worst thing you could do. The best thing to do would be to walk off and wait for her to leave work, drag her into a bush, stomp her, sodomise her hard with you wiener, rock or branch and leave her with a lifelong marker like a deep cut spanning her face top to bottom or cutting off 10 10-15mm of her tongue.

Yes i go alone most of the time, sometimes i go with my brother when something big is coming out. I don't have any friends, but i don't think it would be better to go with someone, i enjoy my kinos alone.
Fricking autists. Going to movies alone is kino as frick. Bring a flask and get drunk, even better. Stop being so fricking insecure about trivial things. Maybe the cashier will even frick you then.
Where I am from, you aren't actually allowed to go if the kinema has a "no singles" policy.
Pretty outrageous but I think it's being challenged legally, finally.
>went to see Moonlight after it won the oscar. >none of my friends like kino, so go alone. >am the only one in the cinema, until another man walks in, also alone. >sits a few rows away from me. >don't acknowledge each other for the whole film. >as he turns to leave at the end, our eyes lock and he smiles at me.
Did I have a gay encounter?
>Do any of you ever go to the movies by yourself?
haven't gone to the theaters since 2019, but have i gone alone, yes. i've gone with family, friends, and on dates. it's not that big of a deal...
>no partner so dont have to pay for her as would be expected >no mate asking you to shoot them and they'll pay you back later >no waiting on anyone to get ready >no having to deal with everyone wanting to sit in different areas >no drink slurping or food eating noises next to you >(if with woman) no 'whose that?' "What are they doing?' 'This is boring'
don't go to the movies full stop, it's all pozzed nonsense and if there were anything I wanted to watch, there'd be shitskins talking shit all the way through it anyway.
they haven't got the intelligence to sit down for over an hour without breaking into some Ebonics talking about pussy, drug dealing, shoes or money from drug dealing.
Everyone in the theatre is my friend >sit by the most people possible as closely as possible >get a bunch of food and snacks. Will totally share if anyone asks >huge drink, extra ice >start cutting mad jokes during the trailers >laugh loudly at all jokes >clap at the end
I try to make the theatre an fun experience
>watching the pianist in theaters >it's the scene where they drop the paraplegic man from the balcony >just after he splatters on the ground someone loudly goes "DAMN THAT GOTTA HURT" >everybody laughed and proceeded to side with the nazis all the way to the end
Based enthusiastic movie goer
verbally making a joke and having a stranger that you're not with laugh at it is a really pleasant feeling;
I couldn't imagine doing it when I'm by myself though, if it doesn't land I would probably just look crazy
My favorite times at the theater have been going alone during peak COVID times when they were mostly empty. The movies weren't great, but frick they were comfy experiences.
I go by myself then sit by another loner. now we are together, so we can not be judged by the collective. I'm nice like that, also, I have met two of my ex's this way.
>be a lonely person >go to public places to make some friends >get discriminated because you went to a public place alone
So what exactly is one supposed to do to not be lonely?
Is this really bad? I carry a backpack to and from work and I do feel weird when I see kids with backpacks in the street, but what's the alternative? Should I just carry my shit in plastic bags?
I went to see Bladerunner 2047 alone. I got really baked and munched on maccys before I went in. It was fricking empty except for two other people. I fell asleep because it was really strong weed. I think I might have been snoring because I woke with a jump scare.
all the time. go on days no one else is there like a Wednesday afternoon or some shit. I often attend thursday early showings of big movies like marvel, dc , etc and no one is there. its great.
If I go to a movie, I pick the quietest session, go alone, tuck in and enjoy THE FRICKING MOVIE. If I want to socialise, I'll go raving. The concept of going alone being bad is a meme, and a lame one at that.
I have some weird hang up about being seen doing anything alone. It's insanity, if I'm outside then I avoid sitting down on a bench just to enjoy a nice view or something because I worry about what people would think if they saw me sitting there alone, as if thats weird.
I also never go out on walks in the woods because I'm scared of coming across somebody and them wondering why I'm out there alone.
I tried eating at McDonalds alone once, it was a fricking grueling 15 minutes or whatever it took me to eat, just constantly thinking about the fact that I'm by myself. I hated every fricking second of it.
People care much less about you than you think, which can either be liberating or terrifying. But specifically strangers don't care, and if they do care, why should you care about them? These people have absolutely no idea or context for why you're doing what you're doing. I mean maybe you're eating at McDonalds because you've been on the road for a while and would rather sit down to eat for a bit and relax instead of eating in your car.
Yeah I've realized this but it doesn't help. It's some anxiety thing I can't let go of, it's as if I don't have the right to do things, to enjoy anything.
I have multiple times been out on walks where I'd want to do something, like go up by train tracks, or just imagine literally anything, just anything of interesting you might wanna stop and look at and I don't do it because somehow being seen doing something is bad? it makes no sense and I have a moronic brain.
it's at least better than it was 10 years ago when I didn't even leave my home at all, I was too pussy to literally even go on walks
it's a skill you have to train yourself on, to feel like you have the right to exist out in the world, to not be an observer but a participant. If you take small "risks" like checking out those train tracks, you'll be able to train your brain to calm down and realize that nothing bad has happened.
I might try and force myself to do it this summer.
I've walked past a spot with a bench overlooking a lake 4 times this week, every time I've thought to myself "just sit down and enjoy the view" but I don't.
I'm the same. I'm essentially in self-imposed exile now, where I don't even leave my home unless it's completely necessary cause I can't even stand existing around people in any capacity.
ignore some of these responses, I judge everyone and if I would have seen you sitting alone or walking lonesome in the woods I would have robbed and beaten you to teach you a lesson, eating McDonald's is punishment enough you fat fricker and this is what it really boils down to, your weight you fat frick
My gradma was a baller ass b***h. She taught me the virtues of spending time alone. Going out to eat alone at a nice restaurant, to the cinema, etc. I miss her bros...
Anyway, everyone around me is sort of like you and I can't understand why people have so low self-esteem that they accept living with all that constant anxiety just cause they're scared of being seen as weirdos... Maybe try and make a fool out of yourself in public a couple times, for me it's good sometimes
>Going out to eat alone at a nice restaurant
Extremely underrated as long as you aren't an "everyone is looking at me!" autist. It doesn't even have to be that nice, just like an Olive Garden or something.
Nothing wrong with wanting to see absolute kino in peace. Nothing worse than trying to watch a good film and some fricking moronic ADD friend or family member asking a question every fricking minute.
All the time. It's the best way. No one leaning over talking, no waiting on anyone else, no worrying about who pays when buying tickets ahead of time to struggle to get decent seats.
I've done this. It's actually pretty nice just being able to enjoy the music and not have to constantly worry about if your date is having a good time.
I go like once a week. My local theater is pretty slow these days yet still in business so there's usually less than 10 people in there. There isn't any kino to watch for a few weeks though, gonna see Black Phone, Elvis, or both.
There is nothing more sad that seeing Incels going to theaters alone believing that is part of being adult dont care about others but in reality theaters are for Chads and Stacys that want to frick
I also had an entire theater for myself recently and the homosexual piece of shit who works there wanted to come into the theater so badly to clean or something, made me feel very awkward as if I shouldn't be there, dude couldn't even wait until the movie finished it was Jackass Forever to come in, so he stayed there while I was trying to ignore him
Pisses me off so much, also happened during Kong Skull Island, I was there alone because I was waiting for the final end credits scene and the few people that were there left, see the guy who cleans the place waiting to come in, almost like he's kicking me out
I went plenty of times alone, the only time I went with friends was The Avengers, I didn't know it was a bad thing to go alone until a few years ago but when I found out it sort of got me, I still went and didn't care but it still felt awkward, I promised myself that the last movie I'd see in the theater was Jackass Forever but recently I had the urge to see Top Gun, didn't go because I didn't want to go alone. I really don't think I'll ever go back to the theater now
This is a real story: >in college >go to see lawless(2012) with a girl i just started dating >theater is completely empty >not even one other person >pick some seats and get comfy >previews start >heavy-set dude in a black hoodie comes in >he sits right next to me and starts talking to me >acknowledge him but try to ignore him >he keeps saying things to me throughout the film >don't respond >movie ends and we all get up >he faces me and says the movie was good >follows us out to the parking lot >we drive away
All the time. I don’t need my friends fricking up a movie by chatting asking stupid questions reacting loudly or texting. I regularly watch movies more than twice when they want to see it and I don’t tell them I’ve already seen it, they know I’m not a reactive type.
I watch capeshit with my friends and family and watch kino by myself.
Some of you really need to get used to the idea that not everything you do will be with other people. Do you only go to the grocery store with your friends too?
So what, I got by myself all the time. Often times it's on a whim, I'll buy a ticket the same day I decide to watch a movie, no plan.
It was enjoyable to watch movies like The Death of Stalin, and The Fixer on my own. I only felt sad cause audiences don't know what they're missing by not showing up to watch stuff like this. I can't save a movie's box office on my own. Meanwhile these moron furries are paying to see Zootopia twenty-five times in a month. What can you do?
I watch movies alone only and make sure I have the theater to myself by only booking tickets for empty salons 15 minutes before starting, but then again I have crippling (diagnosed)social anxiety and no friends. Watched top gun yesterday and was screaming during the action scenes, would be impossible with others in the same theater
the theater I used to go to was on the holiday resort so most of the year they were just happy to sell a ninth ticket
haven't been to the new one yet but the ticket price is so cheap who gives a shit
It's the best way to enjoy a movie you really want to watch. Go during the morning in the middle of the week if you can. But some movies are made to be watched with other to get the hype going, like MCU and big blockbusters. I went to the final week of DUNE showings and I was the only one in the room. Shit was great, no damn phone screens popping up, no one walking across to go to the bathroom, not even a single cough.
>wake up early on a Saturday/Sunday to catch the matinee discount for whatever kino is released this week >shower and eat breakfast for once >don't have a car but live within walking distance to the theater >listen to some tunes on about a 15 minute walk >lungs fill with fresh air for once and the light exercise feels good >arrive at the theater >it's nearly empty so no lines at the ticket booth or concessions >usually only a max of a handful of people seeing the film if any at all >sit in the middle of the backety back >feel a slight endorphin high from the walk after barely moving all week >relax into my seat and enjoy this weeks kino >nobody else makes a sound throughout the film and never clap after it's over >walk home without the tunes and use the time to reflect on the film I just watched >still have the rest of the day to whatever I want
I have friends and a gf now and I still choose to go to the movies alone on occasion. It's incredibly comfy and would recommend 100%
Last time I went was for the Fathom Events Ghibli movies and it was fun. Thing is, I don't like the usual normie capeshit etc. and they haven't had anything good enough - but I almost went to see "The Irishman".
If there was a 35mm theater near, you bet your ass I would be there all the time to see stuff on film too.
For the Ghibli stuff, the theater was practically empty save for a few other weebish types (it was the subbed showings) so very chill and cool
Yeah, all the time. I much prefer to go alone than with friends. Apart from like 2 friends they're normies who only want to watch the latest capeshit and get upset if I criticize it.
I've prefered going alone since I was like 13 and unless my gf isn't busy I always watch true kino alone
i went to see "red sonja" and i was the only one in the theater. was a huge arnold fan at the time and, even for back then in my early teens, knew it was a crappy b-movie. they don't make 'em like they used to.
>"red sonja" >My name is Kalidor >and I'm the governor of Kalifornia
idk why, but saying that in Ahnold's voice in my head is always funny. RS is a fun movie, nice Moricone soundtrack too.
i go by myself and go to the latest showing in the middle of the week to ensure that either I'm the only one there or the only other people there are like me and have the same idea.
don't want to be around normies, simple as.
ive never been to a movie by myself but im not against the idea. then again, i havent been to a movie theatre in over a decade.
i do kind of want to go see top gun though, Cinemaphile shilling has affected me somewhat.
I've went to the movies many times by myself, especially when i was in college. Very rarely gave a frick.
But ngl i remember once going to the theater and there was a huge group of younger guys/girls (late-highschool or some shit) and i just couldn't do it. It was going to be me and them on the theater and i just walked away instead.
My wife would be upset if I ever went to a movie without her.
What if you want to watch a kino she doesn't want to watch?
She humors me and comes along. But it goes both ways. I've seen movies I wouldn't see otherwise because she wanted me to.
What about her boyfriend, does he come too?
He tickles your balls with his tongue as you pound her ass.
I'll keep her company don't worry
She's ugly though, and smells pretty bad.
im sure your husband will forgive you because he will never be a woman
>he got married
idiot
Went to see force awakens alone. Seemed like good idea. It was like day after christmas or some shit. Was a bit hangover and only other people there were like some guy with 2-3 kids.
Thanks for reading my blog

What's this delusion that theaters are only for multiple people to go to when you don't talk during movies anyway? It's not a good date night, it's not a good friend night, it's for watching a movie. That's it.
My guess is because it used to be more of an event for many when they were kids/younger so they associate going to movies as family or friend thing
The idea is that you watch a movie together and discuss it afterward, probably over dinner / snacks / drinks / whatever. It's a zero effort shared experience.
If you go out alone you’re a fricking loser that’s just the way it is
The Chad self-actualising "loser" vs the Virgin approval-dependent normie.
cope
i talk during movies, i crack jokes and make my friends laugh all the time. people next to me that aren't them probably get mad at me but get fricked i guess
It’s the conversation about the movie in the parking lot.
Nothing beats that. Coming out of a good film with friends and getting to talk about it over a drink afterwards. When I watch films alone at home I have to go on fricking letterboxd and read reviews. Not the same.
the hype coming out of top gun was incredible
>sit in silence for 2 hours
>walk out
>good movie huh?
>yeah pretty good
>my cars over there
>alright see ya
So I guess you have no friends or gf then. You know how people talk about movies here, on Cinemaphile? most people do that IRL with people they know.
>It's not a good date night
true
>it's not a good friend night
frick no! Nothing beats watching a movie with your pals and having some laughs. Like, there's nothing wrong with going to the movies alone either, but man, come on.

>female cashier asks "just one?"

Yeah she asks this for me too, but i literally don't give a frick, i do what i want.
Based bick dicked chad BVLL.
You can't buy tickets online?
she wanted to frick obviously
You don't have monthly subscription with a card to pick your tickets in the US?
we do. not everyone uses it
Why would I need a monthly subscription when I go to the movies once a year
>monthly subscription
are there even 12 movies in a year?
>not responding with "unless you wanna join me?"
NGMI
Yeah but that doesn't occur to you until you put your head on your pillow that evening
she's at work, she's taking the piss out of you, replying like a corny cringy virgin would be the worst thing you could do. The best thing to do would be to walk off and wait for her to leave work, drag her into a bush, stomp her, sodomise her hard with you wiener, rock or branch and leave her with a lifelong marker like a deep cut spanning her face top to bottom or cutting off 10 10-15mm of her tongue.
who hurt you sweety
I was raped by a trans woman. so women in general.
somebody get this hot head outta here
Yes, because a guy going by himself to see a movie is the weirdest thing she has seen in time as a ticket vendor.
Maybe she was surprised a handsome guy like him didn't have a date
Next time lick your lips a lot, gets women wet. Just go to town.

>hear her say "wooowww" as I walked away
Thought you meant to say "hear hear". Would've been very based.
Why wouldn't you initially say "One for Morbius"
Yes i go alone most of the time, sometimes i go with my brother when something big is coming out. I don't have any friends, but i don't think it would be better to go with someone, i enjoy my kinos alone.
Fricking autists. Going to movies alone is kino as frick. Bring a flask and get drunk, even better. Stop being so fricking insecure about trivial things. Maybe the cashier will even frick you then.
I don't drink.
What a homosexual
Good enjoy the movie sober like a normal person
>Stop being insecure
>Get drunk tho
>Bring a flask
you’re basically stealing
>Maybe the cashier will even frick you then
R-robert?! No, Robert! I'm straight and I do not want this!
How did this incel get past the guards? He's not even a designated shooter
Where I am from, you aren't actually allowed to go if the kinema has a "no singles" policy.
Pretty outrageous but I think it's being challenged legally, finally.
um where are u from?
I hate that I have to live in a culture where people make up bullshit to be insecure about for no reason
I wanna, but I'm not allowed...
She really says that?
Yes. I'm single, no friends, and my family isn't really into anything remotely artistic, so I go alone
ATTENTION THIS IS A COUPLES ONLY THREAD. DO NOT RESPOND IF YOU ARE SINGLE. PLEASE LEAVE IF YOU DO NOT HAVE A GIRLFRIEND.
PLEASE COMPLY BY STATING WITHOUT STUTTERING: “I AM HERE WITH MY GIRLFRIEND. I WOULD LIKE TWO TICKETS, PLEASE.”

verbally making a joke and having a stranger that you're not with laugh at it is a really pleasant feeling;
I couldn't imagine doing it when I'm by myself though, if it doesn't land I would probably just look crazy
I used to do this when I was morbidly depressed. Now movie theatres remind me of those times so I don't go there.
99% of the time I go by myself. Granted I've only been to one movie since the pandemic broke out (8 1/2 at my local art house).
yes, lots of times
don't worry, no one gives enough of a frick about you to notice you're even there, alone or not
My favorite times at the theater have been going alone during peak COVID times when they were mostly empty. The movies weren't great, but frick they were comfy experiences.
I never even went to a movie theater. Always just pirated the movies and watched them alone on my computer.
Dont regret it because it cost me 0 bucks while going to a theater would cost like 50 bucks.
yeah why not
Not really a movie guy, but I was still smoking pot I'd consider it
I go by myself then sit by another loner. now we are together, so we can not be judged by the collective. I'm nice like that, also, I have met two of my ex's this way.
> I have met two of my ex's this way.
I’m assuming they were men
Ex-men
Movies are just an excuse to kiss a girl or to kill two hours with the fells until bars open up
Nobody *actually* wants to see a movie at the cinema. Just watch it on your phone dude lmao
>be a lonely person
>go to public places to make some friends
>get discriminated because you went to a public place alone
So what exactly is one supposed to do to not be lonely?
Make friends from school or work
I want to know as well. I only have one friend and he’s gone abroad and I’m in the same predicament as you.
*SNAP*
I KNOW THAT AUTISTIC homosexual.
>adults with backpacks
cmon man
>my views on backpacks have been influenced by a fat lefty trans commie on Instagram
frick of homosexual
Sir?
Pardon me, XIR, but we need you to leave your bag here at the front, thanks.
t.
Is this really bad? I carry a backpack to and from work and I do feel weird when I see kids with backpacks in the street, but what's the alternative? Should I just carry my shit in plastic bags?
briefcase?
I went a handful of times. If there’s a movie I really want to see I’ll just go. But my mom gets upset if I go without her and my dad.
I went to go see Southpark and The Matrix alone when they came out, because what little friends I had thought they were both stupid and gay
they were right
I went to see Bladerunner 2047 alone. I got really baked and munched on maccys before I went in. It was fricking empty except for two other people. I fell asleep because it was really strong weed. I think I might have been snoring because I woke with a jump scare.
all the time. go on days no one else is there like a Wednesday afternoon or some shit. I often attend thursday early showings of big movies like marvel, dc , etc and no one is there. its great.
Why is the neet life so comfy, bros
it has its ups and downs but no one can tell me its not comfy
If I go to a movie, I pick the quietest session, go alone, tuck in and enjoy THE FRICKING MOVIE. If I want to socialise, I'll go raving. The concept of going alone being bad is a meme, and a lame one at that.
no never I hate people
I have some weird hang up about being seen doing anything alone. It's insanity, if I'm outside then I avoid sitting down on a bench just to enjoy a nice view or something because I worry about what people would think if they saw me sitting there alone, as if thats weird.

Yeah I've realized this but it doesn't help. It's some anxiety thing I can't let go of, it's as if I don't have the right to do things, to enjoy anything.
I have multiple times been out on walks where I'd want to do something, like go up by train tracks, or just imagine literally anything, just anything of interesting you might wanna stop and look at and I don't do it because somehow being seen doing something is bad? it makes no sense and I have a moronic brain.
it's at least better than it was 10 years ago when I didn't even leave my home at all, I was too pussy to literally even go on walks
it's a skill you have to train yourself on, to feel like you have the right to exist out in the world, to not be an observer but a participant. If you take small "risks" like checking out those train tracks, you'll be able to train your brain to calm down and realize that nothing bad has happened.
I might try and force myself to do it this summer.
I've walked past a spot with a bench overlooking a lake 4 times this week, every time I've thought to myself "just sit down and enjoy the view" but I don't.
I'm the same. I'm essentially in self-imposed exile now, where I don't even leave my home unless it's completely necessary cause I can't even stand existing around people in any capacity.
I got diagnosed with social phobia last year
Life is easier when you realize nobody cares.
ignore some of these responses, I judge everyone and if I would have seen you sitting alone or walking lonesome in the woods I would have robbed and beaten you to teach you a lesson, eating McDonald's is punishment enough you fat fricker and this is what it really boils down to, your weight you fat frick
My gradma was a baller ass b***h. She taught me the virtues of spending time alone. Going out to eat alone at a nice restaurant, to the cinema, etc. I miss her bros...
Anyway, everyone around me is sort of like you and I can't understand why people have so low self-esteem that they accept living with all that constant anxiety just cause they're scared of being seen as weirdos... Maybe try and make a fool out of yourself in public a couple times, for me it's good sometimes
>Going out to eat alone at a nice restaurant
Extremely underrated as long as you aren't an "everyone is looking at me!" autist. It doesn't even have to be that nice, just like an Olive Garden or something.
Yes. I usually jerk off too.
I'm so socially moronic that I didn't even know that going to cinema all by yourself is something wrong and questionable for most people
Nothing wrong with wanting to see absolute kino in peace. Nothing worse than trying to watch a good film and some fricking moronic ADD friend or family member asking a question every fricking minute.
Yeah, all the time, so what, eat my ass.
what can I say, I'm my own best friend
All the time. It's the best way. No one leaning over talking, no waiting on anyone else, no worrying about who pays when buying tickets ahead of time to struggle to get decent seats.
this.
Also, I simply do not care what braindead normies think.
Kek, no, why would I even go to a theater? I hate people.
I'll continue to pirate, thanks.
Of course. Only someone with no self esteem would not go just because they are by themselves.
Going to a concert alone tomorrow. What do?
better wear a burka bro, that's embarrassing
how would anyone notice if you're in the crowd?
I bet you think normalgays also can't tell you're a virgin.
enjoy it
I've done this. It's actually pretty nice just being able to enjoy the music and not have to constantly worry about if your date is having a good time.
I go like once a week. My local theater is pretty slow these days yet still in business so there's usually less than 10 people in there. There isn't any kino to watch for a few weeks though, gonna see Black Phone, Elvis, or both.
bro Crimes of the Future is this weekend don't be a pleb
It's strange that the cinema became the place where you're supposed to be in a group even though you don't interact with anyone else
There is nothing more sad that seeing Incels going to theaters alone believing that is part of being adult dont care about others but in reality theaters are for Chads and Stacys that want to frick
It's dark no one fricking cares
I've had the entire theater to myself before at an Alamo Drafthouse and it was based
I also had an entire theater for myself recently and the homosexual piece of shit who works there wanted to come into the theater so badly to clean or something, made me feel very awkward as if I shouldn't be there, dude couldn't even wait until the movie finished it was Jackass Forever to come in, so he stayed there while I was trying to ignore him
Pisses me off so much, also happened during Kong Skull Island, I was there alone because I was waiting for the final end credits scene and the few people that were there left, see the guy who cleans the place waiting to come in, almost like he's kicking me out
All the time, I've got no friends and I dont really like people.
I went plenty of times alone, the only time I went with friends was The Avengers, I didn't know it was a bad thing to go alone until a few years ago but when I found out it sort of got me, I still went and didn't care but it still felt awkward, I promised myself that the last movie I'd see in the theater was Jackass Forever but recently I had the urge to see Top Gun, didn't go because I didn't want to go alone. I really don't think I'll ever go back to the theater now
IDK senpai, he looks comfy.
he is
Yes, I'm not a neurotic moron and no one cares
>"n-no one cares!"
>meanwhile girls in groups look at him funny because he's alone
Nah. I’d ask like my friend and he’d be like alright, but it’s gay if we just go, so we have to invite our female friends too. Such a hassle.
This is a real story:
>in college
>go to see lawless(2012) with a girl i just started dating
>theater is completely empty
>not even one other person
>pick some seats and get comfy
>previews start
>heavy-set dude in a black hoodie comes in
>he sits right next to me and starts talking to me
>acknowledge him but try to ignore him
>he keeps saying things to me throughout the film
>don't respond
>movie ends and we all get up
>he faces me and says the movie was good
>follows us out to the parking lot
>we drive away
That was some weird shit
Dude just wanted someone to talk to, why tf did you give him the cold shoulder
Because I was on a date and I wanted to watch the movie. I don't go to movie theaters to make friends
>I was on a date
> I wanted to watch the movie
Yeah right
That was your inner darkness, Anon
You can't ignore him forever
It was you from the future.
All the time. I don’t need my friends fricking up a movie by chatting asking stupid questions reacting loudly or texting. I regularly watch movies more than twice when they want to see it and I don’t tell them I’ve already seen it, they know I’m not a reactive type.
Yeah I've done it once
just go first thing in the morning when it's almost empty anyway and nobody is going to notice or care
I watch capeshit with my friends and family and watch kino by myself.
Some of you really need to get used to the idea that not everything you do will be with other people. Do you only go to the grocery store with your friends too?
So what, I got by myself all the time. Often times it's on a whim, I'll buy a ticket the same day I decide to watch a movie, no plan.
It was enjoyable to watch movies like The Death of Stalin, and The Fixer on my own. I only felt sad cause audiences don't know what they're missing by not showing up to watch stuff like this. I can't save a movie's box office on my own. Meanwhile these moron furries are paying to see Zootopia twenty-five times in a month. What can you do?
>Entire theater to yourself
>Loser
No.
all the time, and if I set next to a female I make sure to have lots of elbow contact
I used to all the time.
Now I don't go at all.
Frick cinemas for not standing up for my rights.
I watch movies alone only and make sure I have the theater to myself by only booking tickets for empty salons 15 minutes before starting, but then again I have crippling (diagnosed)social anxiety and no friends. Watched top gun yesterday and was screaming during the action scenes, would be impossible with others in the same theater
My favorite part was when the bad guy pilot did a maneuver to dodge and Maverick shit his diaper about how dank it was.
the theater I used to go to was on the holiday resort so most of the year they were just happy to sell a ninth ticket
haven't been to the new one yet but the ticket price is so cheap who gives a shit
Yeah sometimes. It's comfy
Yes,I'm not a moron who likes to watch The Shitman Reboot part 8
I saw The Batman in a completely empty theater and I wouldn't have had it any other way.
all the time. it's the best way to do it. I just got a ticket for Crimes of the Future and I'm very excited.. where my Cronenberg bros at?
I haven't been to a movie theater since Space Jam.
My showing of Venom: Let There Be Carnage was empty save for one other person
>tfw so fat and ugly no one ever questions why I never bring anyone with me
It's the best way to enjoy a movie you really want to watch. Go during the morning in the middle of the week if you can. But some movies are made to be watched with other to get the hype going, like MCU and big blockbusters. I went to the final week of DUNE showings and I was the only one in the room. Shit was great, no damn phone screens popping up, no one walking across to go to the bathroom, not even a single cough.
>wake up early on a Saturday/Sunday to catch the matinee discount for whatever kino is released this week
>shower and eat breakfast for once
>don't have a car but live within walking distance to the theater
>listen to some tunes on about a 15 minute walk
>lungs fill with fresh air for once and the light exercise feels good
>arrive at the theater
>it's nearly empty so no lines at the ticket booth or concessions
>usually only a max of a handful of people seeing the film if any at all
>sit in the middle of the backety back
>feel a slight endorphin high from the walk after barely moving all week
>relax into my seat and enjoy this weeks kino
>nobody else makes a sound throughout the film and never clap after it's over
>walk home without the tunes and use the time to reflect on the film I just watched
>still have the rest of the day to whatever I want
I have friends and a gf now and I still choose to go to the movies alone on occasion. It's incredibly comfy and would recommend 100%
Felt like I was with you on your outing as I read that, anon. Very comfy.
Last time I went was for the Fathom Events Ghibli movies and it was fun. Thing is, I don't like the usual normie capeshit etc. and they haven't had anything good enough - but I almost went to see "The Irishman".
If there was a 35mm theater near, you bet your ass I would be there all the time to see stuff on film too.
For the Ghibli stuff, the theater was practically empty save for a few other weebish types (it was the subbed showings) so very chill and cool
Yeah, all the time. I much prefer to go alone than with friends. Apart from like 2 friends they're normies who only want to watch the latest capeshit and get upset if I criticize it.
I've prefered going alone since I was like 13 and unless my gf isn't busy I always watch true kino alone
that's a low blow, OP
i went to see "red sonja" and i was the only one in the theater. was a huge arnold fan at the time and, even for back then in my early teens, knew it was a crappy b-movie. they don't make 'em like they used to.
>"red sonja"
>My name is Kalidor
>and I'm the governor of Kalifornia
idk why, but saying that in Ahnold's voice in my head is always funny. RS is a fun movie, nice Moricone soundtrack too.
true
on thursday evenings after work if there's something to see that just came out
keeps my weekends free for other events that I totally get invited to
i go by myself and go to the latest showing in the middle of the week to ensure that either I'm the only one there or the only other people there are like me and have the same idea.
don't want to be around normies, simple as.
We got him boys, another future mass shooter flagged and tagged.
ive never been to a movie by myself but im not against the idea. then again, i havent been to a movie theatre in over a decade.
i do kind of want to go see top gun though, Cinemaphile shilling has affected me somewhat.
It has jet kino that probably won't be done again any time soon.
I've went to the movies many times by myself, especially when i was in college. Very rarely gave a frick.
But ngl i remember once going to the theater and there was a huge group of younger guys/girls (late-highschool or some shit) and i just couldn't do it. It was going to be me and them on the theater and i just walked away instead.
