Do you go to the movies ALONE ?

[Petra_Kalbrain]

This is an interesting debate that I've had with many friends, co-workers, and even my roommates.

99% of the people I've talked to about this consider it some sort of social faux-pas to go to the theatre alone. This pisses me off to no end because it shows the general change in mentality about the public viewing experience. So many people now believe that the experience is a group related activity. This leads to all of the retarded bullsh!t we have to deal with in theatres during feature presentations these days (cellphones, conversations, colour commentaries, etc, etc, etc).

The process of sitting down and watching a film, no matter how many ways you try and slice it, is a very personal and individual experience even if you and all of your family and friends rent the theatre for yourselves. You can only experience a singular point of view during the initial viewing of a film. So, I really can't understand the group-think opinion about equating "going to the movies" with "have to go in groups."

So... does that show clearly enough where I myself fit in the OP's question?
