If he’s middle aged then he was a kid when the first movie came out and it light just be nostalgia. He isn’t doing anything wrong. Jesus. Cannot believe you’ve started a thread about this.

Sorry, thread derail but your calculation is a bit off! I am not yet middle aged (I don’t think anyway; I’m under 40 so getting there but still…) and I was 15 and too old for the first one when it came out.

I think this thread could have gone either way. I don't think you're being a man hater. Some posters have obviously not been on threads that I've been on where I've been slated for saying not all men are potential murderers.

I once got told that my DH could possibly be a murderer I just didn't know.

Well he could be! and you wouldn't know!!!! (though obviously, it's extremely unlikely unless you've spotted him digging up the patio recently)

I'm pretty confident he's not. I'll take that risk though as he's already seemed a nice bloke.

My ex? I wouldn't put it past him.

Not quite my point.

I’m not getting into this tennis text thing now , you’re one of these awful men that I hate soooo much 😂 having to prove his point ..
Stop being dopey , obviously I think men should be able to go about their business & do things on their own !

Go back to your cleaning, at least that’s achieving something useful (and less tedious for the rest of us)

Are you an actual child? Because you sound like one (and I haven't even followed what 'side' you're on, so it's nothing to do with disagreeing with you).

Well if you don’t know what you’re talking about then you probably should be quiet also !

Like people coming on putting up posts when they haven’t a clue what any of it is about ! 🙄

No chance of you ever being quiet I suppose? 😂

Nobody has a clue what you’re on about, to be quite specific.

Exactly what I just said , what’s so hard to follow 😂
Now I’m leaving this thread , too many annoying people such as yourself on it
The jump on the wagon kind !

Out of order! Judgemental he may like the film or have many other reasons for watching the film.

ByCyanMoose · 03/06/2025 20:09

Call the police! This man is more than likely a Marxist revolutionary, and seeing Lilo & Stitch is just the beginning.

MyTwinklyPanda · 03/06/2025 20:21

It's always good to be cautious. However, as long as he isn't doing anything rude he's fine.

ironflan · 03/06/2025 20:40

DoctorRoseReturns · 02/06/2025 14:14

Amazing how some people just really like to show how ridiculously judgemental they are

Bloody agreed.

For all anyone knows he could be a film critic in his spare time. Or do podcasts on movies.

Also, he could just be a guy who likes Disney and wanted to see the movie like every other person that wanted to see it.

I saw a grown woman who looked around my age walk in with a massive stitch plush at the showing I went to see. I thought "why the hell not"

GrumpyCowMummy · 03/06/2025 20:46

As an Autistic person, this is totally normal. Without the "I must appear normal" constraints you can do a whole lot more. He's watching a film. Leave him alone!!

ChocolateFairy25 · 03/06/2025 20:50

Considering you said there's only one other family there I doubt he's a pedophile looking for kids in the dark which seems to be what your suggesting.

I may be 'odd' to you but people do watch movies alone and even us adults love a good animation, if I didn't have kids, I would still watch them, yes probably from home but no need to judge on this occasion without other worrying signs.

jankellythorn891 · 03/06/2025 20:56

If you think that is weird, then how about this... Many, many years ago, work colleague and I went to see re-make of Texas Chainsaw Massacre. We were only two people (ladies) at the start of the film (that's weird I know!) and then a guy in hoodie came in a short while later and sat DIRECTLY behind us! We stayed to the end, but he left half way through..
what a big scaredy cat!

He might have started watching Disney after that. Poor bloke.

Your user name is trying to be funny but not that funny though. Not offensive, just strange. I do like the joke in Car Share, if that's what you are going for.

Probably some poor bloke that's been made redundant and daren't tell his DW.
