Poll: Do you go to the movies alone?

[Pyrrhus]

I've never gone alone to the cinema, but that also means I've missed some of the movies i wanted to see!. Nevertheles, maybe i should try going alone to the cinema from time to time, like Moonbear said, it's just watching a screen, no much to talk to.

When I go to the movies, it is usually with either friends or family. I don't consider it a conducive place for a date... a visit to the park would be a far more relaxing environment, and the social interaction would be present.

But I do agree that it is distracting on occasions with all of the commotion; especially on Friday nights when much of the town's youth congregate in that one building. Egh. Yeah they are "cool" and all, but their "coolness" infringes upon the rest of our movie experience.

This is really weird. I don't think it has even occurred to me to go alone. I seem to have implicity defined this as a social function and never thought about it.

Then I'm sure Tsu doesn't talk through the whole movie...

always blaming it on the teens, we don't even get a chance!
I find that's it usually ignorant parents with their <5 year old kids who won't shut the hell up, or worse with babies, although babies can be better as long as they're not crying, because then they make no noise.

I guess I don't see many movies in the theater that are appropriate for children that young, so it's just the teens being too loud with their cell phones and gabbing on and on. But it's no wonder the teens talk through the movie if the parents don't teach them when they are 5 to sit still and be quiet (who is so masochistic as to bring a 5 year-old to a theater anyway? No 5 yr old can sit quietly for the full length of a movie. That makes no sense (unless it's one of those special early matinees intended for mom's with small children where the lights are kept a bit brighter so they can see to change babies, and it's more for moms to get out of the house than for the kids).
