Why watch a movie alone @ home ?

"Do you even have to ask ?" One peaceful evening, the cool breeze, a quiet nice room, the perfect place & time to watch a movie. You slowly insert the DVD into your player... take a bag of your favorite chips... sit back... relax... and hit on the play button.... then suddenly bad things start to happen....

Someone comes in asking if he/she could join you in watching the movie (not a bad thing really at this point =) ). "Of course" you replied, then another few minutes later someone comes in "again" asking if he/she could join you in watching the movie (not a bad thing "again" really at this point =) ). But then you have to start all over coz they were not able to see the first few minutes (fine at least now I have company)

You start the movie again from the beginning... but then you hear chatter beside you... you continue to watch the movie... then after a few minutes.. you hear laughter.... (did I mention you were watching a horror movie ?)... then after a few minutes.. somebody, "again" comes into the room this time they are not joining the movie.. and joins with the growing chatter beside you....

Now half an hour into the movie... the actors appear shy... (why because you can't hear anything from the movie).... you get shocked a couple of times.. not because of the movie.. but because of the sudden laughter beside you... you get to hear the conversation going on (not a bit related to the movie, and your not even part of this chatter)... suddenly you realize you are wasting your time and start walking out of the room... everyone asks you... "where are you going, the movie is not finished yet".... (do you all even have to ask ! gosh...) and you tell them.. just call me when you are done watching... (as if they were watching) and they all realize what's happening... and they all just laugh out.. and say "ok just go on watching the movie" (as if I'm still in the mood to watch a movie now)

So "do you even have to ask" why you should watch a movie alone @ home... guess not ! =P Ciao

P.S. I really believe it is nice to have someone with you when watching a movie, why? coz you could discuss the movie with them afterwards... you have someone with you ... but sometimes... it's really annoying... when they are not there to watch the movie with you... (hey i'm ok with the occasional chatter... its actually part of the fun when you are watching a movie with someone =) )

I totally agree with you!!! :) Better to watch a movie in the theater, at least everybody there has the same goal...to watch the movie and get their money's worth!Sure, you can hear small chit-chats here and there but hey the theater speaker's louder...he he he...:)

However, nothing beats a free movie and the comfort of your own place. Sooooooo.....I suggest the next you plan to have a movie marathon, make sure that everyone in the house are either too busy or out. OR you can always lock yourself inside ,just don't forget to bring the keys with you ;)
