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 much prefer the cool girl perspective to the mean girl one.

If you're taking three children to the cinema, I highly doubt you'd be in a position to notice every single spectator who comes in.

What's amusing is that because not everyone agrees with you, you insist they must be lying.

😂 😂 😂 I was with my family!

Why do you think it’s weird …

I have literally just booked a ticket to go and see L&S, on my own, on the back of this thread. Mean. Have you never heard 'if you can't say anything nice, don't say anything.'?

Have you ever been to a fancy dress party as an adult ? If so, dressing up is just for children surely so why is it not weird for adults to do ?

You’re overthinking this. A person went to watch a film. You judged him. End of.

You sound nosey and immature. That’s the sort of thing a 13 year old would make fun of an adult for. I think you might need to grow up and leave people alone.

My Neuro diverse son watches Disney films on his own. What a horrible, judgemental person you are😡

My adult autistic son loves Disney movies. Perhaps think before you label someone odd or weird.

My friend went to see this film on Saturday - she is 46 and has no kids. She also has a cinema pass and is open minded enough to give anything a go. She said it was ‘ok, not as good as the original’.
But I guess it’s okay for her to go on her own because she’s a woman? 🙄

Love that film East is East!
Sajid and the parka, the kids all eating bacon whilst the parents are working. Obviously many sad elements but a good watch.

I know plenty of male Disney YouTubers (not personally, but YKWIM) that would happily go and watch Lilo and Stitch on their own and I imagine would be mortified if their intentions were questioned.

Awful thing to post OP. He was munching snacks and enjoying a movie, not taking photos of random kids. My brother watches films on his own. He loves all kinds of films and watches loads even if nobody wants to go with him.

If someone wanted to watch a film and had nobody to go with, and posted about “should they go in case they look stupid / get sneered at,” people would tell them to go to the movie and ignore.

You were judging. At least admit that much.

He might have particularly wanted to watch it for whatever reason (nostalgia trip, film or animation student, comfort viewing). He might have been at a loose end/ had a couple of hours to wait for a train or appointment and that was what was on. Why assume something off based on nothing?

Indeed this

How would you even know? Single man could be in a row with another group of people, could have come in with a group in the dark, but sat away from them because he wasn't with them and you didn't notice because he was a few rows behind you.
Do you only go when the cinema is really empty?
Would two men watching Lilo and Stitch together be "better"?

I wouldn't consider myself a cool girl but usually have no idea who else is in the cinema with me. And I love going on my own. Can get a time and a film to suit so much more easily than managing a group.

I know a middle aged man with a cinema pass who has made it his life's mission to see every film that is released.

Oh, you're so edgy and cool, taking the opposite viewpoint from everyone else. You don't have the faintest idea why the man's at the cinema. Maybe this kind of film or earlier ones remind him of someone who's passed. It could be anything, and you don't know, but you choose to ridicule the man.

I would love to see it, because it was of those kid films our young family actually all loved and watched together. It has good memories for me. I won't see it in cinema, because I don't have a spare child to take, but I wouldn't think it was odd to see a line adult watching it!

I go to the cinema on my own a lot and sometimes to kids films.

I don’t think it’s odd. I can think of plenty of perfectly normal reasons for him - or anyone else - to be at the cinema alone watching whatever they want.

Yeh. It’s weird. Ignore the holier than thou bunch. They are the reason why the trans lobby were able to exert so much power and influence, because liberal people were falling over themselves to prove how accepting they are that they couldn’t bring themselves to call out weird behaviour. And by the way, I’m a liberal. I’m one of the so called metropolitan middle class elite. Only difference is I’m happy to call a spade a spade. A man dressed as a woman is still a biological man. A single man alone watching a kids film is weird.

It’s sad that people are judging and looking sideways at others who just happen to be alone in a public space. When you get to my age a lot of people have to get used to being on their own - they still have lives to live!

It could be worse though. I went for a walk without DH the other day and someone asked me where my dog was. Apparently she didn’t know that people without dogs went walking…

There are probably hardly any kids there on a Monday afternoon.
