Have you ever walked out of a movie?

[Tenshot13]

I walked out of a comedy show once because I was on a date and it was clear she had no interest in me whatsoever. 

I can't remember doing that for a movie, except if I really had to use the bathroom, or was really hungry.

Was the show funny?  Maybe she was into watching the show.  Hell, even if she hated me I would have stuck around for the laughs.

Uhm...I'm sure I'll regret asking, but how do you know she had no interest in you? Wasn't she watching the show? Did you just leave her there?

I have a bad feeling we collectively opened a can of worms.

Did you just leave her there?

That's what I was wondering...

Idk, I didn't really care about the show.   I went to try to get a girlfriend, not to see a comedy show.  Once it was clear that wasn't going to happen, I couldn't possibly enjoy the show.

If you have something to say to me, don't post it in the thread.  PM me.

Oh of course not. I could tell just from our conversations the show started and the way she was interacting with me. 

At intermission, I asked what she thought.  She said she felt no connection, so I left.  We each had come separately, so she wasn't stranded.

On another note, I've been seeing this new girl for two months and it's been going great     And the best part is, she was attracted to me for being a good person     Score this one for the good guys.

Let's get back to movies.

I used to have a bad habit when I go to the movies of eating most of my popcorn and drinking most of my drink during the previews.  Now I know to space it out.

I often look forward to the previews as much as I do the actual movie.

At my local movie theater, you get free refills on popcorn and soda if you buy a large.  You should see if you can do that.

I have actually mastered this cinema-logistical task, and when I go to the theater by myself or with my roommate (we both dig doing Marvel movie and other sci-fi matinees on the big screen), I routinely dig out the last handful of popcorn and take the final slurp of soda as the credits start rolling. I have mad snack pacing skillz...

It's not that.  It's just that midway through I'll have to go to the bathroom and thus miss the movie lol

To have truly mastered the science you must then get a refill as you exit the cinema. I have a buddy of mine that buys those huge zip-loc bags, takes one with him in the car, gets a refill as he's leaving and then dumps the full bucket of popcorn into the bag when he gets to the car and munches on it all week. Now that is mastery of the skill.

I see people mentioning talking and I'm glad to hear it.  I hate people talking in the movies.  It's incredibly distracting to me.  I especially get irritated when people are like "oh, that's the guy from this other show".  It takes me out of the moment.  I stopped going to the movies for a while because I had so much anxiety from being angry at people who wouldn't shut up.

The theater I go to doesn't do the free refill thing, so that option...isn't an option.
