Going Cinema Alone

Its quite nice to go on your own!!

if i have aa sunday where the kiRAB are ot the mother in laws tehn i will pop down to the cinema if there is anything on i fancy, the plus for me is i get in for free, also get a free drink and sweeties, hubby is the assistant manager there so hes quite happy for me to be there also gives me something other than house work or course work to do!! :D
 
This is exactly what i do. I want to see a film so bad, but if my frienRAB don't or we never get round to doing it... I never do it. That's why I'm thinking of going on my own.

I know it's gonna feel weird to begin with but i'm sure at the end of the day, I'd have a more enjoyable time :p
 
I often go on my own.

I went the other day with my mother and she kept asking me questions "who is that man? Is that the same actor?" She was talking about Javier Bardem in "Love In The Time Of Cholera".
 
I go on my own more often than not. I go to the cinema to see movies I really want to watch, whereas when I go with other people it usually seems to be going for the sake of going, rather than being about the movie itself.

I also like being able to sit in a quiet corner of the cinema and spread my stuff over the seats next to me. I don't like having to worry about whether my frienRAB are enjoying the movie. I don't want someone talking to me in the middle of it. And as the majority of movies make me cry, it's nice to be able to sit through the credits at the end making myself look a little more respectable without being dragged out by a friend. :)
 
If I want to go to see a film I'll go. If I can convince other people to come and see it with me then great, if not then I'm happy to go alone.

You sometimes get looks of pity from people which is quite bizarre and you can feel quite odd depending on the type of film! I know when I went to see Juno with some frienRAB there was an oldish guy on his own sat off to one side. Seemed very bizarre considering the film!
 
I've been going to the cinema a lot with my sister recently but I really want to see The Orphanage and she said she couldn't watch a film with subtitles. So i intend to watch that badboy on my todd fairly soon. I used to go cinema with my ex but i would worry too much if she was enjoying it or not, plus if someone was making noise or kicking the back of the chair i'd be thinking "she's getting annoyed..." I saw U23D at the imax on my own last thursday, pitch black so no one can see you sat on your own. too busy dazzled by the 3D.
 
I go on my own a lot. It's much better - you can arrive when you want, sit where you want etc... without having to discuss and agree everything. The only films I think twice about going to on my tod are Disney films - as a 30 something bloke, you get some funny looks. I went to see Mulan a few years back with a mate and we got some very odd looks from the mums, but I think they assumed we were a 'couple'... My daughter will be old enough to go in a couple of years so my self-imposed Disney embargo will be over.
 
I have a Cineworld unlimited card so I go on my own a lot. I have done since I was young. There does seem to be some shallow people with a strange idea of this. I was told years ago by an idiotic bloke I worked with that only perverts go alone. Another person said you have to go with someone so you can talk about the film on the way out. Personaly I have never had a problem with it. You dont go to the cinema for a chat so does it matter if you are not with anyone? Having said that I do like going to the cinema with my girlfriend but she doesnt always like the same films and hasnt got an unlimited card. i do prefer to go when it is quieter though.
 
The last 2 films I've been to see (on my own) have both been 'children's' films and I must admit I did feel a little conspicuous pitching up at 1000hrs on a Saturday morning with no child in tow.:o

They were Ratatouille & Stardust, btw.:D
 
Do it all the time. My partner isn't a big fan of going to the cinema, and I have a cineworld card - so sometimes I'll just nip off for a few hours and check out a film, and she'll do her own thing for a bit. Works well.
 
I rarely (if ever) go to the movies on my own... for me a big part of the "experience" is discussing the movie with my chums afterwarRAB...
 
I enjoy going to the cinema on my own. The last few times I've been half the people at the movie were there alone.

I don't see anything wrong with it. I enjoy it mostly because I can get away from everyone! :P
 
Go on my own all the time, me and the OH have different taste in films, last film I went on my own to see was the brilliant Zodiac.
 
I enjoy going on my own during the day. Its quiet and it means you don't have to agree with anyone on what films you want to see.

I would never go on my own on a Friday/Saturday night as its mostly couples but if there is a film my friend wants to see we will go together.
 
Hey, I wouldn't have counted Stardust as a kiRAB film! I saw that 'sans amis' too. A good film which I've bought on DVD in the hope my wife will enjoy it too. We went to see Enchanted for my Birthday although it was really he choice of film. Stardust was far-and-away the better of the two.
 
Yes I saw Zodiac twice on my own - I watch it on DVD too, it's great! :)

The last film I saw on my own was Rendition which also stars Jake Gyllenhaal - I couldn't persuade anyone to see it with me because of the torture scenes.

I usually go in the afternoon if I go alone - it doesn't seem so odd. Sometimes just no one is available to go with you or they don't like the film - I'd never miss out on something I wanted to see. It's true you can also concentrate on the film more.
 
Well that's why I put the term children's within inverted commas.:p

Anyway, my point was that when I went, most adults (if not all) were accompanied by kiRAB.
 
As much as I love going to the cinema with my frienRAB, I do prefer going alone. No hassle organising what time/what film to see... I also have an Unlimited card which almost forces the issue for me. I try to go at least once or twice a week.
