Grown man at cinema on his own

[Littlebluecreature]

Watching Lilo & Stitch..is this odd?

Here with Dd, only one other family here…and this guy, munching on snacks..watching Lilo & Stitch

Is it just me 😂

I can't see the issue tbh. I know plenty of people who enjoy going to the cinema on their own. If I'd seen him I'd have maybe thought 'was this film really his first choice' but it's up to him what he wants to watch, isn't it. Maybe he just wanted some peace 😆

I hope he enjoys the film.

He has as much right to be there as you without needing to justify himself.

It was so obviously an unserious comment.

I think you and your judgy eyes are odd.

It isn't cool girl to not judge someone for doing a normal thing.

You're a busy body. Find some joy in your own life eh?

Is 33 middle aged now? Assuming he was max 10 to be the target audience for l&s in 2002.
That's depressed me 😆

But no op i wouldn't consider it that weird. Not a film I'd go to see without a kid but perhaps he has a pass so thinks may as well.

I had several weeks of taking my DD to a rehearsal that lasted 2.5 hours and was far enough from home to make it not worth going back. Rather than mooching round the local shopping mall, I used to go to the cinema and see whatever was on. Sometimes I'd miss the beginning, sometimes the end. Lots of different kinds of films. Maybe he was doing that.

It isn't a kid's film or a cartoon. It is a family film meaning it is meant for everyone to enjoy. The original film came out in 2002 meaning the children who loved it are now adults. It makes perfect sense that adults are going to see it. I went and saw it with my husband and 19 year old daughter with no kids because it is MY favorite Disney film. We certainly should have been shunned and kicked out 🙄

I would not go and see it but then I have no interest in Lilo and bloody stitch - which Primark clothing are full of!

However if it was something I fancied why not?

He may have felt 'down' and wanted to cheer himself up. He was on his own. I assume minding his own business? Unless he looked 'seedy' and was harassing kids- leave him to it. What an awful attitude towards a fellow person!!

I went to see Incredibles 2 on my own. I had a glass of wine and a lovely time 😁

Nobody is saying he doesn't have a right to be there. You can bet your bottom dollar he would have been the most noticeable in the cinema, because of that particular movie. It doesn't mean he wasn't innocent. This man could have had learning difficulties, or just a huge fan of Lilo & Stitch. He could have gone for a reason because his child used to like it. It is sad we have to think of a reason that isn't so innocent, and all of the possibilities would have crossed my mind. I would lean towards, hope for the innocent explanations, though.

This is the kind of narrow minded thinking that makes men unable to be themselves/express themselves and make themselves unhappy by not being able to do the things that bring them peace.

Unless the cinema was empty and he sat right next to you why don't you mind your business.

But here’s the thing, you are the only one arguing your point. Everyone else is saying they wouldn’t care. I see single people in the cinema all the time. I might ‘notice’ a single man watching a child’s film but I certainly couldn’t jump to any weird conclusion about it.

It’s a film. He might have been desperate the watch it, he might have been at a loose end and thought i’ll go and see whatever's on, he might have kids and couldn’t go with them to see it but wanted to be able to chat to them about it, he’s a film reviewer, he’s an annual pass holder so will watch anything, he’s a Disney fan, he’s a L&S fan, his date stood him up, his kid got ill and couldn’t go…

the possibilities are endless!

I genuinely don’t understand what you think the person was doing if not just watching the film.

Whats wrong with it op.
I watch alsorts on my own cartoons as well including lilo and stitch.
I went to see the quite place on my own and sat next to a lad i was old enough to be his mother twice and a young lady the other side i was in the middle the place was packed.
Box trolls saw that on my own (crap by the way).
And my little pony the movie saw that as well and guess what a single man was in there watching it as well not many kids was in there at that time manly adults.
Finding nemo i watched that on my own as well twice due to the fact the first time the place was packed with familys and the kids was so loud,
So went back in school hours a week later and it was many adults less kids.

I feel bad that men are judged for just existing. I mean they're still better off than us in lots of ways, but this poor guy was just existing.

Each to their own.. does not set alarm bells..

My sister loves animated films, I'm sure she went to a few animated films pre-kid. I don't think it's weird.

Not odd at all there are lots of adult Disney fans who go to the parks and watch the films . Plus there are people who have the cinema passes that literally go to every film that comes out .

He may be an animator seeking to learn or an animator that worked on it or whose contract expired before delivery and never saw it completed in crew screenings.

i think it’s quite common for artists to go and see these types of films to view the work quality.

I’d think the choice of film a bit odd for a grown man, but I’d assume he had a cinema pass or something where he just watches every film that comes out.

Think about it, if he was a paedo, I’m not sure sitting in a dark room where you can’t actually see anyone would be the venue of choice…

Ah this makes me sad. I go to films alone and would hate to feel judged

It is real people mainly?

No it's isn't odd. Perhaps he likes lilo and stitch. Perhaps he has one of those passes where you can watch as many films as you want in a month and he goes to see every film. Perhaps he is writing a review about it.
There could be any number of reasons why he went to see it.

A man that DH works with has taken himself off to see it. He’s around the age where he would have been a child when it first came out, and he just likes Disney. Not my cup of tea, but life would be very boring if we all liked the same stuff.

The original film came out in 2002 meaning the children who loved it are now adults Some of you are seriously bad at maths. 2002 was only five years ago. There is no way children then would be adults now 😩

Get off your high horse, OP. Look at you, hobnobbing with the elite. Did I miss your coronation?

Sometimes when it's just you vs 100 people, you just have to admit you are the one who is wrong.
