Opinion on going to the movies alone

Tonight was very good. I work retail. I talk to people all day in person and on the phone. I get off at 9pm and if it's Monday, Tuesday, or Wednesday, I head to the movies afterward because nobody goes to the movies on those 3 days and that time of night and kids are already asleep because they have school in the morning. There is this very secluded/dead dollar movie theatre where I live that no one ever visits. I have no idea how they stay in business. Tonight, I went in bought a 2$ticket for The Book of Life in 3d and it was amazing. I was the literally only one in the theatre. Me and that giant screen. It was awesome and the movie had such vivid colors and great animation also. I started doing this multiple times this month. http://imgur.com/BDW7RKL

I'd probably fall asleep if I go watch a movie alone.

But that's just me.

No tbh. If I wanted to watch something entertaining I'd just watch it at home if I was alone. At least one of the main factors of why I go to the movies is because my friends go.

I got to the movie theater alone a lot of times. You go whenever you want and watch whatever you like.

I've never been to the movies alone but that sounds like an interesting experience.

I wouldn't stress about it. If it's because you're busy but you otherwise have a healthy social life, then it's just a matter of necessity and so long as you're happy with it, then it's not a big deal. The problem is when out of avoiding social interactions or having friends you go to the movies alone. Then it's weird and bad.

I haven't been to the local movie theatre for almost a year.

I even have a free ticket pass that let's me watch any movie more than 2 weeks old for free.

If you get enough people, everyone can bring pillows and blankets and you can make a big ass fort in the movie theater

Side note, what about your safety though? Late at night at a dead theater, something could happen to you @_@[/quote]

That's actually pretty rad.
We have a cheap $2 movie theatre not too far from where I live but it's PACKED literally every night.
