Do you ever go to the movies by yourself?

Home alone tonight, wife and the 1 year old are back home picking up the 3 year old from a beach trip with the grandparents.

There’s a couple movies that are out that look intriguing to me. Seems like an excellent time to go.

I heard they recently rebooted the back door sluts franchise to be more inclusive.

I actually love doing that.

I go to the movie tavern during the daytime, get myself some drinks and during the day very few people are there so i get the whole theater to myself basically.

And i just chill and enjoy drinks and a movie

Not on Friday night.

Will be packed with smart arse teens.

I have gone on Saturday during the day.

I went to one alone a few months ago in the middle of the day on a Friday. It was a nice experience as there was only me and five other people in the theatre.
I ordered my popcorn in my phone and had it delivered to me after I sat down.

Yes, if there is something I want to see on the big screen that wife has no interest in seeing. Usually go see it at a matinee showing.

Yes, but it’s one of those things that I refused to do until about age 30. Then I took the plunge and realized the greatness of two hours of societal solitude.

Yes, once or twice. It was just after college when I moved to a new town and hit a Saturday matinee or two. Great way to break up the day before getting settled into your new town and before figuring out the dating scene.

Yeah, I’m 30. Never considered it until now.

If you go, might I suggest the whole hole in the bottom of the popcorn trick?

Pro Tip - extra butter.

I go to the movies by myself all the time. Nothing wrong with it. I also go to the movies with my kids and my wife sometimes. However now that the kids are out of the house I find myself going by myself more than I used to. The wife and I have VERY different tastes in movies.

No, I would feel guilty for leaving my dogs at home. I can catch a movie on TV at home

Absolutely. It's actually wonderful going to catch a movie by myself. Especially when I don't have shite to do and it is raining outside.

Went to see the local premiere of “The Hunt for Red October” at ~1:00 pm at the Eastlake 8 in NOLA East by myself in March of 1990.

The theatre was empty except for me.

Last time I recall going by myself.

It's pretty rare these days that I see a movie I'd actually want to go watch.

No.


There's usually a few others in the theater.
