Some people say it's sad to go on your own but I don't think it is? I recently got a unlimited card so I can go to the cinema as many times as I want. I only have 4 close friends but they're always busy and they're rarely able to go to cinema with me apart from once/twice on some weekends. I haven't really got any other friends to ask to go with me unfortunately but there are quite a lot of movies I want to see so I'm just going to go on my own anyway.
Also wondered if anyone else here goes to the cinema on their own as well. :)
I've always gone to the cinema alone - even when I was with a partner.
I like to choose a seat as far away from others as possible - especially popcorn-eaters and phone addicts. I usually take in something 'nice' to drink, to help me relax. Then, when the film starts, I shut off and enter its world. And it feels like I'm the only witness to what's going on on screen. Sometimes, if I go to a mid-week showing, I am the only witness.
The cinema, for me, is a very private thing - even if it's in a public place.
Recently, I saw 'Darkest Hour' and 'All the Money in the World' in almost empty auditoriums.
Films are my passion, so I mostly watch them at home in the evenings - either from a dedicated site, or via a YouTube rental. I have a large monitor, so it's similar conditions. Lights off, dark room... no one else.
If others think that's sad... then it's just that: what others think. It's not what I think!
