Going to the cinema by one's self

[markoos]

Do you feel as self conscious as you would going to a bar by yourself?

[Pesty]

yes its horrible. Did it once while I was working away. Just feel like a total prat sat there. Never again

[Swilly]

Only if its a kiddies film.... but then i just go in early and hide behind the back seats.... in the dark !!

[bic]

I don't think I could do it, much much worse than a pub. well, for me.

[thehawk]

Done it loads of times, not bothered at all and would suggest that those who are have some sort of problem.

[MrV]

Nope feel a lot more comfortable watching a film on my own than sitting in a pub.

yes... sitting alone in the cinema, maybe !?

[AndrewW-G]

Have gone by myself a few times, only felt self concious the first time. after that not a problem

[markoos]

Was prompted by a couple of other threads ('Taken' and 'Going to the pub alone') as the last film I saw was 'Taken' and I was alone ('not lonely'!) - made a promise to myself to go every Sunday night - never been back since!

The fact is not one person in the cinema cares that you are alone, it is solely your imagination that has created a constraint on your life solely of your views of society.

BTW, I will be going to see this movie alone at the cinema, a couple of hours of chilling out watching a topic I like and not being bothered by the wife or kids that wouldn't enjoy it and otherwise ruin the experience.

Cinema - a place where you don't talk and it's dark. How can that be a problem? Restaurants and pubs make me feel far more self-conscious.

I'd prefer to wait until it's out on DVD R1 and watch it without sweet wrapper noises etc in the background and then watch it again if I want to

I have a card for local Cineworld,twelve pound a month unlimited use,last Monday went to see The Unborn,at Midday,had the cinema to myself.I now resent having to go with my other half,much easier to concentrate when by yourself.

[Jasandjules]

I'd more likely than not just get a DVD out and watch that instead.....

Don't go to the pictures too often these days - the soundtracks are far too loud as are too many of the audience.

Back in the days when I used to go a lot, I often went on my own and never thought twice about it. Why should it be a problem?

Anyway, has that nice Mr Chaplin released anything of note recently?

I'm quite happy to do it.

Yeah, but those piano accompanists could make a racket too - not to mention the Wurlitzer man.
