Watching films alone seems to have lost its appeal to me.

@northernnarwhal at home. I wasn't much a cinemagoer as it is.

@awl Ah. I still mostly watch films on my own if I'm at home, but I'll generally go to the cinema with friends unless it's a film I can't convince any of them to go see with me or know only I'll like among our group.

@northernnarwhal i guess i've become liking making commentary but not enough to talk to myself.

@awl I think for me it depends on the film. There are a lot of films I prefer watching on my own if only because the lack of commentary lets me more actively engage with it critically (this applies especially if it's my first time around). That being said, commentary with friends is lots of fun too, and it's nice having someone to talk to about a film right after you've finished watching it.

@northernnarwhal i agree with some films it's nicer to sit back and take all in, like we did with The Revenant yesterday.

@awl Yeah, The Revenant spends its entire 2 and half hour runtime building a really dense and oppressive atmosphere that I imagine would lose its effect if you're chatting and making hot takes in between.

@northernnarwhal good thing i watched it alone then

@mushi I went to see it with some other people, but we were all in our own little personal bubbles while watching.

@northernnarwhal i went alone, and the closest person to me was 5 seats away. actually, i watched it in a pretty empity room

@mushi That would've been really immersive. The theatre I went to was mostly full when I saw it.

@northernnarwhal people usually go to the movies at might. i went at 2 pm, so it was pretty nice and quiet
Tuesday, 23-Feb-16 02:18:28 UTC from web-
@mushi There was this one lady a few seats down from me who kept yelling stuff like "oh no!" during the film when I went, it was distracting at first but I managed to tune her out later.

@northernnarwhal oh man that's a little annoying. Granted I had to stifle a giggle or two but it was stifled nonetheless.

@awl I think as long as you remain conscientious of the fact that there are other people in the theatre with you and act accordingly you should be okay
