Going To The Movies Alone

<div class="IPBDescription">its quiet good</div> I always went to the movies with people, except today. I wanted to see Man on fire and no one was interested in going, so it thought what the hell, ill go alone.

I actually watched a movie and enjoyed it instead of feeling like a loser sitting by myself AND for once not being interrupted by someone every 5 minutes about a cool scene <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->

I plan to see van helsing next week and go alone if I must, I find that i enjoy it more.

(btw Man on Fire is a awsome movie!)

    Wait......so you go to the movies with people and <b>sit by yourself</b>? Does anyone else find something wrong with that sentence?

    And if you go to the movies alone, who shall help you make fun of the rediculousness you see on the screen?

    Oh God, Van Helsing, lets not start on that one.

    Anyway, I plan to see Man on Fire as well, maybe I will go alone as well, might improve the experience.

    Huzzah, another who has seen the light! I have had to start going to the movies by myself because my friends never want to go to the movies and if they did they would not want to go and see what I want to (non of them know anything about the Lord of the Rings).

    I enjoy going by myself, but I never go on friday or saturday nights because:

    A: THats my drinking time
    B: I hate crowds

    I really would like Van Helsing to be a good movie, but it looks like it's probably a stinker. I hope I'm wrong!

    Remember Hulk last year? Same thing basically.

    Van Helsing isnt going to be revolutionary, its a by the book action film. Typical indications of such:

    O The good guy is ALWAYS predictable, he will always do the 'right' thing even though they attempt to make it seem like he just might not.

    O Use of cheesy dialouge after EVERY action scene.

    O Love intrest introduced within the first 5 minutes. Easily distinguishable by either a) has double the bust size of any other woman in the movie or b) is the only female to speak more than 1 line of dialouge.

    O Bad guys are always bad, but not too bad, just bad enough to be cool rather than hated.

    O The good guy never purposly kills the bad guy with his own hands, example: Rather than shooting Bad Guy in the face at point blank, Good Guy will throw him out the window. Or blow him up. Or something will fall on him. Fact is, the Good Guy never gets blood on his hands.

    Now if you look at some of the all time classic action flicks such as Terminator 2, you notice they violate all of the above rules (except for the bad guy being cool part... but the T1000 was both cool AND hated, double points). Van Helsing passes the Summer Cliche Blockbuster test with flying colors however... and thats just based on the TRAILER.

    Might be fun to watch with friends though, its much easier to know somone is suffering right along with you <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    Naah, Van Helsing will probably be just as lame as, say, Man on Fire. I found it <i>waaay</i> too long - it could easily have been a 1hr movie instead of a 2.5hr one.

    I remembered I was bored and no one wanted to go out. So I thought might as well just catch a random movie. I just saw the title "Blair Witch Project" and though "hmmm, sounds kind of cool COuld be a sci-fi with paranormal in it. Ok lets try it".

    How was I to know later it was such a crappy movie. Advice, never go on a trip to a random movie

    Daamn

    Everytime I go to the movies, the extremely whiny guy that hangs out with us always spoils and ruins every single bit of the movie.

    Not only that. Every time we try to ditch him, he just comes back, just like magic!

    To Clarify what AllHive was saying
    He said in the second paragraph
    <!--QuoteBegin--></div><table border='0' align='center' width='95%' cellpadding='3' cellspacing='1'><tr><td><b>QUOTE</b> </td></tr><tr><td id='QUOTE'><!--QuoteEBegin--><b>I actually watched a movie and enjoyed it</b> <i>instead of feeling like a loser <b>sitting by myself</b> AND for once not being interrupted by <b>someone</b> every 5 minutes about a cool scene</i><!--QuoteEnd--></td></tr></table><div class='postcolor'><!--QuoteEEnd-->

    Basically he said he sits like a loser by himself when he goes with his friends? O_o;;

    EDIT: I should really preview my own post... Really
