| 812044 | 2009-09-20 07:18:00 | I'll only go by myself when there's a movie I really want to see that no one else does. Like Saw. :thumbs: |

| 812045 | 2009-09-20 19:35:00 | Did it once when I had a 4 hour wait between jobs when I travelled to Tauranga. I really enjoyed it but it helped that I liked the movie as it was a spur of the moment decision. | sam m (517) | ||
| 812046 | 2009-09-20 20:07:00 | No I have never been to the movies on my own. I like having company. But I did take my two daughters to a movie once and it was packed with young kids and I think I was the oldest adult there. I've forgotten what the movie was, but they showed a Pink Panther cartoon which was so funny that I spent the whole time laughing at it. I must have laughed more than all the other kids put together ! The cartoon was called Pink Posies. |

| 812049 | 2009-09-21 01:36:00 | I have been once on my own, havn't done it again. Much better with my significant other though....... | convair (13650) | ||
| 812050 | 2009-09-21 04:19:00 | I have never been by myself, but I don't think there is anything wrong with it. We used to give these guy we knew stick, for going by himself, as there was a negative social stigma to it, but maybe that has changed. I often just get the DVD out anyway, as the DVDs come out very quickly these days | robbyp (2751) | ||
| 812051 | 2009-09-21 04:23:00 | I did when I was younger, 15 or so. I much prefer being engrossed in a movie, rather than being torn between the movie and the other person(s). Loved the old Hollywood cinema in Avondale, Auckland. Is it still there? Not only still there, but had a complete new paint job a few months ago. And earlier, wonderfully comfortable/expensive new seats. It's simply glorious, but all that must've cost a fortune. The sad thing is patronage. A friend & I were the only customers one winter night last year (for the Johnny Cash movie) & discussed the fact that our admission price would have barely dented the central heating bill. I was told the young man who was ticket-seller/sweet-seller/porch-sweeper (& probably projectionist) was a relative of the original owner, so it seems to be a labour of love. The Wurlitzer organ is still there & I believe there are occasional Sunday concerts, though so far they haven't coincided with my Auckland visits.. I keep encouraging my Auckland friends to go there ( It has the new movies, but doesn't advertise enough) as it would be sad to lose such a treasure. Edit: After all that, I forgot the question. No, I haven't been to a movie by myself yet. Never needed to, but may do in future. Certainly got nothing against the idea. |
