font-size: 12pt;\">I haven\u2019t seen any of these movies.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Lora; font-size: 12pt;\">It\u2019s not anyone\u2019s fault except my own that I don\u2019t see more movies, but the fact is I really don\u2019t want to go by myself that often.\u00a0 It\u2019s not like I care about being the pathetic looking party of one in a movie theater, but it\u2019s more the fact that it\u2019s just nice to have company to go watch a flick with, so you have someone to talk about it with, right after the movie.\u00a0 I live kind of far from the closest theaters, so it sucks to have nobody to speak with on the drives to and from, whenever I do go to watch a movie, which I can\u2019t really remember what the last one I saw was, maybe\u00a0<em>Moneyball<\/em>.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Lora; font-size: 12pt;\">I can\u2019t expect to always rely on my friends to go watch movies with all the time, because frankly sometimes they want to go watch movies as couples or at least without spare tires along for the ride.\u00a0 And to be perfectly honest, sometimes it doesn\u2019t feel that great when I am along as the spare wheel, because it mentally exacerbates the solitude for me occasionally.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Lora; font-size: 12pt;\">So it really boils down to the idea that perhaps if I want to see more movies, then perhaps I should get back on the dating wagon or something.\u00a0 Which really kind of sucks, because the idea of dating sometimes just seems so exasperating, but in times like right now, when\u00a0<em>Batman<\/em>\u00a0is just released, and I really want to see\u00a0<em>Batman,<\/em>\u00a0I don\u2019t want this flick to be another movie to add to the already-seemingly extensive list of potentially entertaining films not seen due to not having anyone to go see with.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Lora; font-size: 12pt;\">Ironically, I think going to the movies is one of the worst things to do when going out on dates.\u00a0 Especially early on, because the first few dates really are the feeling-out process, and trying to get to know a person.\u00a0 Enclosing yourself in a dark theater where speaking during a movie is frowned upon always seemed kind of counterproductive in my opinion, not to mention that if that the initial close proximity feeling hasn\u2019t been overcome early, then it\u2019s really going to suck when two people are\u00a0<em>obligated<\/em>\u00a0to be side-by-side in the dark.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Lora; font-size: 12pt;\">Obviously, pursuing dating just for the sake of seeing movies is a terrible reason, but hey, after this long, who the fuck really cares?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Lora; font-size: 12pt;\">But I digress; I really just want to see\u00a0<em>Batman<\/em>, and if I have to go by myself, I\u2019ll go by myself, and I\u2019ll deal with the emotional self-loathing, and the poorly veiled sentiment that I might be feeling ronery at times, another time.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The following is a list of movies back from 2011 to around today, that I wanted to see: Captain America The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo The Cabin in the Woods Bridesmaids 50\/50 Spider-Man Ted The Avengers Prometheus The Hunger Games Project X Men in Black 3 The Dictator Chernobyl Diaries Seeking a Friend for &hellip;
