I've never done it. I've always had a weird aversion to the idea, but movie watching itself is arguably a solo activity.

I wouldn't go to the theaters alone, but I also hate going in the first place and typically only go if i get forced into it.

I much rather wait until its on HBO and I can watch from home.

Good times.

Just go see Big Miracle by yourself already. No one will think you're a pussy or anything. Unless you cry. Alone. Like a pussy.

I feel that going to a theatre alone, can't be any more awkward than the time I went to see the Jennifer Aniston Sperm Donor Romantic Comedy with my 70 year old grandparents. Then again, I really enjoy romantic comedies and would primarily would be watching those alone in the theatre.

i don't see why this would possibly be construed as weird.

I've only done it 3 times in my life (Wishmaster, Constantine, Captain America), but I really really enjoy it.

i'm not here to judge. just saying I have never, and most likely will never go to the movies alone.

Friggin weird dude

i always say i wouldn't mind going alone but when it comes down to the wire and i can't find anyone to go with, i never go.

Elliott · « **Reply #13 on:** February 01, 2012, 06:25:19 PM »

I do it fairly often, it's fun.

George! · « **Reply #14 on:** February 01, 2012, 06:28:12 PM »

i don't mind going alone if no one's around and i'm bored. i actually prefer it. don't have to wait for anyone or worry about being late. i'm for it.

Sifl · « **Reply #15 on:** February 01, 2012, 06:29:47 PM »

I would probably go alone, but there's never been a movie that I wanted to see that bad. Plus I hate theaters.

Puddn · « **Reply #16 on:** February 01, 2012, 06:37:18 PM »

I prefer bringing a lady friend because she can sneak snacks in her purse.

YES

llivermore · « **Reply #18 on:** February 01, 2012, 06:38:26 PM »

Almost always go alone.

Never been to the movies alone but I go to shows alone quite a bit. I normally meet people I know there but if I don't it sucks. Movies alone is much like movies with someone else unless you're one of those rue fuckers that talks throughout the film.

KingCross · « **Reply #20 on:** February 01, 2012, 07:09:16 PM »

If your plan is to be like the guy who jerks it to movies like Bring It On in the back of the theater you're fine...

RyanBonehead · « **Reply #21 on:** February 01, 2012, 07:13:53 PM »

I pretty much only go to movies alone. Cause no one likes me. I wouldn't go to a comedy alone. I probably wouldn't go to the theaters for a comedy at all, but alone would be particularly weird.

I went to see Texas Chainsaw Massacre by myself and some friends from school came in independently of me and thought it was totally creepy I was going to watch a slasher flick by myself.

doctoracula · « **Reply #22 on:** February 01, 2012, 09:36:08 PM »

not weird at all. i go to basically everything alone.

jettrocks · « **Reply #23 on:** February 01, 2012, 09:39:16 PM »

docac- your wife doesn't go to things?

i see a lot of movies alone. yesterday i left work early to go to an eye appt (to adjust glasses) and then popped into an afternoon movie by myself. it was luxurious!

she doesn't like horror movies or most of the bands i listen to. we go to stuff together occasionally but not that often.
