Do not use this community as your social/political/hatespeech soapbox.
Do not be redundant. One page does not need three or more threads on one topic/theme. Your unfunny, forced memes also fall under this rule.
Do not treat this comm like your personal therapist. Threads about nonfictional suicide, self injury, rape, and abuse will be deleted. There are better resources out there for you.
Do not treat this comm like your personal Plurk or Twitter. Off-topic happens, but it should be open for discussion and not just a play-by-play of your life. No one cares.
Shut up about Tumblr. If it's not a discussion about Tumblr RP it will be deleted.

i don't understand your perception of a at all. it's not unreasonable they would want to see a movie they're excited about on opening weekend.

sure? but any movie you love will be more fun with friends. let the excitement build and go see it with your friend ffs, instead of blowing your load all over it the minute it comes out. if a friend of mine told me she cared more about seeing the movie NOW then waiting and sharing the experience with me i'd be devastated. why have friends if they mean so little to you?

did you not read the part about how they compromised to go later? we don't know who these people are, so you're making a lot of assumptions about their friendship. you're also projecting your own feelings onto this situation. regardless, nobody should try to control their friend's experiences. that's selfish.

a is going to go see it with friends. they have other friends. b just wants to wait, and a is willing and likely happy to go see it a second time with b. b is being unreasonable. a is trying to be a good friend. a's life isn't all about b.

i say this as someone that is kind of like b, in that i can't go to packed theaters because of anxiety and misophonia. if we were talking about a franchise movie like jurassic world or infinity war, which is what i'm assuming, the theaters are going to be packed and loud and people will be reactive to it. so if i ever did go to a theater, i'd prefer to go in a couple/few weeks when i can get a mostly empty theater.

that said, i would never expect or even ask a friend to 'wait for me'. my shit is not other people's shit. my 'friends' shouldn't have to put their enjoyment or lives on hold until i can drag my ass out with them. i'm the burden. if i want to go with someone, i'll go on my time, but the compromise is that they'll likely have already seen it. them willing to see it again just lets me know it's good. (i also have food allergies/intolerances, so i'm used to being 'the burden' and working around being my own worst enemy)

lol I have friends who go see movies with their other friends the night it opens without me ALL THE TIME. It's not a big fucking deal. I don't like being out late on a work night or I have something else to do, they're people who like standing in line to see the very first showing, we have different tastes and we're both happier not going to see it together the first time. It doesn't mean a movie means more to them than I do, what the fuck?

dude, a friend is someone you can be apart from for a few days and still be friends with.

"why have friends if they mean so little to you?"

over a fucking movie

that they will see together anyway, it won't be a's ~first~

do you hear yourself right now? you have one fucked up vision of friendship. many times my friends want to do something i have no interest in. they invite me, i say no thanks, and we can see each other another day. AMAZING CONCEPT, I KNOW

a good friend would understand that a was excited to see the movie on opening weekend and would tell them to go enjoy themselves and that you could see it again together later.

“devastated”? what a needlessly OTT reaction. I’d have a hard time being friends with someone who takes me doing something without them as some grand statement about the friendship. are you B irl or something?

some people love the special thrill of opening night, and A’s way of having fun is not less valid than B’s; unless B has some reason to believe that A will ditch them, they should step back and realize that A seeing the movie without them (and then seeing it again later, no less!) isn’t a threat to their friendship.

waiting means spoilers so nah, fuck that

devastated? dang anon, go touch some grass

i like to wait to see movies because fuck no i'll never pay full ticket box office price for anything more than once a year, max. sometimes my friends wait for things to come out at the two buck theater to watch them with me, sometimes my friends don't bother waiting and go watch shit by themselves or with other friends, sometimes they watch it a second time with me, and sometimes i end up renting it out on the redbox and watching it alone. its not a big deal

what kind of a friend gets upset over something as insignificant as someone watching a movie without you, especially if they've offered to watch it with you again later

saying this here was your first mistake. ask a normal person on the street and 9 times out of 10 they'll agree with you, the point of going to the movies is to share the experience with friends, and choosing to see a movie by yourself on opening night instead of waiting to see it with friends is weird. but rpanons is chock full of nerds who are obsessed with fiction over real life and emotionally attached to fictional characters. they don't care who they see the movie with they care about BUT MUH STUCKYS.

who actually gives a fuck if movies are a personal experience or a group experience for someone? that's not a universal perference.

or maybe

just maybe

my friends don't know when to shut the fuck up and i'd rather watch the damn movie instead of having them talk at me throughout it.

what a novel concept!

A says they'll go by themselves or with another friend

going to the movies by yourself would be weird and a little obsessive but that's not what A is doing

B is in the wrong get over it

going to the movies by yourself is not weird or obsessive wtf.

most people don't make everything into a fucking fandom

if you're into movies for the social aspect then yeah going by yourself is weird because without your friends what's the point

seeing a movie has become a fandom now, details at eleven

... movies are supposed to be about sitting and watching a movie. it's the before and after that's the social aspect. the movie itself is just x amount of time of sitting and watching. if you're talking through the movie, fuck you. you're exactly why people want to go when theaters are mostly empty.

if you're into anything for the social aspect then doing it by yourself is pointless, you actual returd

some people are into seeing movies for the, idk, seeing a movie aspect

christ

I'm pretty sure people going to see weird art films alone aren't doing it because they're obsessed with leaping right into the fandom for it. They're doing it because they want to experience the art.

For someone mad at other people for 'making everything into a fucking fandom,' you sure are ignoring the obvious fact that art exists.

we see u trollin'
we hatin'

my boss (a completely normal, non-fannish person) left work early to go see star wars by himself the night it came out because he really likes star wars and was excited to see it.

No, the point of going to a movie is to see the movie. The point of going to it with friends is to share the experience of seeing it with others.
