Going To The Movies By Yourself

Ilikethepixies 6 years 10 months ago Posts: 6051 Globally Banned	Sometimes I've wanted to see a movie in theatres and for one reason or another, be it schedule conflicts, or lack of interest, I am not able to see it with other people. I have never went to a movie by myself. Is that like admitting "ok, I'm a complete loser", or is it a pretty normal thing for one to go to a movie by themselves? Does it make a difference if its a nighttime or matinee showing?

I saw The Darjeeling Limited by myself and had a damn good time. Of course, I was nice and baked.

It's only depressing if you've got low self-esteem.

But yeah, getting blazed and going to see No Country For Old Men is foolproof.

kerfootb 6 years 10 months ago Posts: 288	I see movies by myself all the time too. Although I don't go to the movies anymore unless it's a movie I just can't resist at all which I try not to feel so a lot. Renting it, having a movie ticket, or waiting for it to be at the $1.50 theatre where I live is cheaper. I'm also not going to any more night screenings either.

I like the feeling, after all, as long as the projector doesn't get messed up or whatever you're free of any possible disturbances.
