Would you go to the movie theater alone?
How often do you go see a movie at the theater by yourself?
I go to movies with somebody, a date, family or friends. I actually kind of prefer it that way. But Yay! I finally did it today, matinee time!
I was contemplating on seeing Bruno for fun but Luc gave some options before seeing the movie. He suggested me to see ICE AGE if I didn’t wanna be disgusted by the Borat guy.
At the movie theater, as I was ordering for a ticket, the cashier gave me a pity look, “Are you sure just one ticket?” I said it proud, “Yes, ONE ticket for ICE AGE.” Strangely, he didn’t ask me where I wanted to sit. Going over the details of the ticket, “What?! He gave me a seat in a corner.”, murmured I.
Then I realized when I was looking for the seat number, I’ve got the best seat ever. Seat number 1, the midmost part of the theater. By the fact that I’m a moviegoer, I felt so stupid not to know about this thing.
It was uncomfortable and I felt strange at first, but once I parked myself in there, I felt better. It was actually empowering, however the idea of not having someone to make snarky or funny comments to, that sucked. It was a little awkward too while I was sitting before the show with nobody to talk to.
Another gauche feeling IS that, during the comedy, you laugh really hard and look at the people next to you, and some of them don’t return that warm nebulous feeling.
But overall, I feel really gratified. And that is what matters the most.
So to those who have been contemplating on going to the movie theatre alone, don’t fret. People don’t even notice you are alone. Even if they do, who cares? You are there to enjoy a film, so have a ball !
