ST Poll: going to the theater alone or with other people?

Posted by Hotkiss (aka hotkiss7348) Jun 24 '10, 12:07

Alone. It's my ultimate alone-time when I have the money to do so.

Plus, going alone means you can squeeze into the best seats that separate the groups.

I hate.hate.hate going alone. The last movie I saw alone was Iron Man, but it's a very rare occurrence. -- nm - Beryllium Jun 24, 12:26

It doesn't matter. Usually alone, sometimes with my mother. (the Norman Bates? nt.) -- nm - Qale Jun 24, 12:11
