Is it weird to go to the cinema by yourself

BaconShelf · May 11, 2017, 03:15:56 AM

Alien Covenant releases tomorrow and I really want to go see it, but most of my friends aren't interested or are otherwise unable to go see it (no money, moved to other towns etc) So I'm thinking of going down after college tomorrow.

Does sep7agon go to the cinema by themselves often?

Well, you'd normally spend most of the time looking at the screen in silence with or without friends anyway.

If your friends are planning to see the movie later, it's just annoying that you can't talk about your favourite parts with them since they're possibly spoilers.

I usually get invited to see movies so I'm hardly ever alone at the cinema.

I do sometimes, if it's a movie none of my friends want to see. Don't see anything wrong with it

Spartan · May 11, 2017, 04:13:56 AM

Nah, it's not

>having to be with a group of people to go see something you stay silent in

Genghis Khan · May 11, 2017, 04:15:56 AM

I have done it before.

Desty · May 11, 2017, 04:20:10 AM

It's weird, but honestly, who's judging?

snee0rp · May 11, 2017, 04:22:54 AM

Yes. So much so that many theaters have a "no singles" policy. You can get around this by bringing your falcon if you own one.

Verbatim · May 11, 2017, 04:43:03 AM

Of course there's nothing weird about that.

I don't remember a single instance where I went to see something alone, but I don't think I would see it as something weird if I did go.

gats · May 11, 2017, 05:16:43 AM

Of course it is, I haven't been to the cinema in years and I really want to see this new Alien movie too but
>tfw no friends

Just wait for the DVD release like me

Nah, it's only weird if you make it weird.

I've done it a few times. Just go to a late night screening with less people if it makes it more comfortable. I saw a couple loner guys there as well. It's not as uncommon as people think.

No, not weird. I really want to see it as well

The Lord Ruler · May 11, 2017, 10:31:28 AM

Its kinda weird

The only time in the past ten years I've gone to see something alone was when I went to see Kingsglaive and save for getting a free poster I would've rather waited for the BD that came with my copy of the game with all the fucking weeabs that were there ruining the experience.

that being said, I'm not against going to the movies alone but if there's a movie I'm dead set on seeing I usually find a friend I haven't hung out with in a while and invite them so we can catch up before/afterwards. I went to go see Your Name with a friend of mine who was super Normie but even she really liked the movie despite not liking anime.

Also WTF is releases next Thursday how are you seeing it a week early?!

I live in brexit land

We get films weeks before americans all the time

Kind of funny that I get to see Captain America two weeks before the Americans do

Coco · May 11, 2017, 12:26:03 PM

Meh, I wouldn't let something like that stop you from doing something you want to do.

I think openly judging a quiet stranger for something like that warrants a weirder look.

Why don't you pay for a freind that doesn't have any money

Because he already owes me £10 from when we went to see guardians last week

Mmmmm Napalm · May 11, 2017, 01:59:03 PM

Not weird at all.

Ushan · May 11, 2017, 02:32:23 PM

Nope.
While I rarely do it, becouse two of my three friends are massive cinephiles, I do enjoy doing on occasion.

In fact I'm planning to do so this weekend since they'll mostly be out of town.

Oh did he wanted to go or did you invite him?

He wants to go but he has to get the train over to my town or I have to get the train to him + cinema ticket, so it's annoying to do. We'd sort of forgotten that it was this week so we hadn't arranged to meet up and we usually do so like, a week in advance.

definitely not weird.

Jive Turkey · May 11, 2017, 03:54:32 PM

Nah I've done it a few times. No more weird than eating by yourself.

alphy · May 11, 2017, 04:21:51 PM

i've never actually seen a movie by myself, and the most recent times i've gone is with someone

that aside, i don't think it's weird at all. if you really wanna go see it then go for it dude
