Going to the movies (by myself!)

Part of my date yourself (myself) challenge

I went to the movies by myself for the first time in early 2019 (I went and saw the movie Bumblebee) and then for some reason never did it again. So recently, I decided to start doing it again!

I purchased the AMC Stubs Premiere membership which allows me to see 3 movies a week for free (well, for the monthly subscription fee) and figured this would be the perfect opportunity for me to start going to the movies again!

I recently went and saw Jungle Cruise (with Dwayne the Rock Johnson ;) ) and it reminded me how enjoyable of an experience it was. I bought myself a big bag of popcorn and a soda and sat in the very back of a mostly empty theater. The only interruptions were a couple of younger children talking, but it didn't really bother me too much.

Now, I'm not going to review the movie here, I'll just let you watch it for yourself - but the movie is not important so much as the experience. I had my popcorn and soda all to myself and I was able to lose myself in the movie as it played. Movie theaters are not really the best places for talking, so enjoying a movie by yourself really makes sense. The only downside was that I really had to go to the bathroom and I didn't want to miss any of the movie! Overall, it was a cozy (self)date and I can't wait to see the next movie I plan on watching! Any recommendations? I'm thinking Shang Chi.

So grab your movie tickets, your preferred snack and drink and go take yourself out to a movie! It's a great plan for a Friday night. Or Sunday afternoon. Or really anytime!
