　　Forget the movie date. Seeing a film is a perfect solo activity.

　　Long before I dreamed of writing about pop culture, I was a fan of the movie date.

But if I really want to see a movie, there’s nothing better than sneaking off to the theater by myself, preferably in the middle of the day when the cinema’s likely to be pretty empty.

　　The problem with seeing a movie on a date is the movie becomes subordinate to the date. Rather than giving your full attention to what’s happening on-screen, maybe you’re wondering if you’re going to hold hands, or you’re feeling the weight of their arm across your shoulder. You’re sharing popcorn, or your fingers bump when you both reach for a Twizzler at the same time.

　　And even if you aren’t distracted by these little zaps of physical electricity, the way you process a movie on a date is inevitably shaped by the discussion to come. I like this, but will she like it? I hate this, but will he? How could anyone think that was romantic, or smart, or suspenseful, or satisfying? If I talk about the cinematography, is he going to think I’m pretentious? If I don’t talk about the cinematography, will she think I’m dumb? I wish I was at “Star Wars.” I wish he was someone who wanted to see “Star Wars.”

　　No, if you really want to get lost in a movie — and have an aesthetic experience that will be yours and yours alone — the only way to see a movie is by yourself.
