    Only during the day if I couldn't find anybody else to go with. The few times I've had to do that there was a maximum of 25-30 people.

    No way I would go alone during nights on Friday/Saturday/Sunday/Thursday.

    If it was solely me in a room and nobody else, yes. If not, nah. It's great when I go with my mates, especially when it's a catch up. Personally I enjoy a movie better being among people I know than people I don't. s--- is mad awkward when all you see is couples and a g--- of friends and you're forever alone sitting by yourself sipping on a coke.

    Why would a man ask another man to go to the movies with him? That's like calling him daddy.

    Yes, this is how I prefer to see movies nowadays actually. I used to always go with friends but I mean what's the point really? You may whisper a few things to each other throughout the previews and maybe once or twice during the movie itself, but that's about it. I hate when people try to talk throughout a movie. I don't even like people sitting behind me at movies now cuz I can hear them talking, eating popcorn etc.

    I love going to movies by myself, usually get :blunt: beforehand so I can enjoy it more. I really don't care if someone sees me and thinks I'm a loser for being alone or whatever lol.

    I mean why not? It's not as if you can have a conversation with people during the movie anyway.

    I understand the hesitancy behind it, but it's kind of childish to feel uncomfortable with it. It's the best way to watch films.

    Going to TDKR on opening day alone actually caused a big fight between my girlfriend and I. I was so adamant about watching that film alone she was convinced I was going with another woman. I ended up caving and letting her tag along though.

    I have before if none of my friends wanted to see what I wanted to. It doesn't bother me much. It's not like you're sitting there talking to your friends the whole movie. It's not much different than watching a movie by yourself in your own home.
