it was very long time since i watched movie in theaters.i just don't have much time and money for it.but recently,i hang out with a friend and we felt bored because of waiting for someone.and we decided to go watch a movie,"his treat" i say! haha! and yeah,since it was very long time since we last seen each other,he agreed to treat me then. but when we have watched the half of the movie he suddenly felt asleep,and lean on my shoulder instead.i can say it maybe his way to get close to me,but then i didn't complain to that.it's just i don't feel right when you paid for something and you'll just sleep on it. if you want to sleep,then go home,instead,right? how about you?have you been with someone in theaters just to sleep? you are so rich that you just waste your money to sleep inside theaters,are you? or is it that you have other business inside theaters,not watching movie instead?

Hi annavi! In my life's experience about going in movies, or theaters, I haven't done that yet.. not even if I was in a very very sleepy condition because I am not very comfortable in sleeping while seated.. And usually I watch movies that I really like, and most often we watch it once or twice only. When the movie is over, we go out of the cinema already, so no time for sleeping.. By the way, how sweet was that moment huh! Good to know you go out some time with your friends.. Wish I can do that also.. Hmm.. But I can't so sorry for me.. The only time I go out is when I'm with my family. But I don't have hard feelings for that..

hello dear gen,nice to see you are back again here! it's been how many days i haven't seen you here,huh? well,it was nice to hang out for some time.we also need time to hang out with friends for some time,cause we all need friends to be with.being with them can help us realize there are still people who care for us,and being with them is such a wonderful thing to have. i just felt sad cause we didn't meet other friends we supposed to meet that time.but it's okay,at least we enjoyed being with each other again for such a long time. it was not sweet,my friend! he just leaned on my shoulder for his pillow.knowing i have sharp shoulders,he just don't seem to care! well,i hope you could hang out for sometime,maybe you could go by yourself,or spend time with your daughter outside your house.have bonding times with her outside the house.go to the nearby playground available,don't you know there's a playground inside the sports complex you live nearby? you should take your daughter there and for you to enjoy yourself. we all need to have some space and time to enjoy our ownselves,right? give yourself the chance to be out for sometime.go get some fresh air! it's not nice to be always inside your house,it will make you crazy for sometime,hehe i'm happy you haven't slept inside theaters.of course,if you do watch,go watch,not sleep inside there.make use of the time you have specially when it was a treat for you. you know,i have been with a guy before who doesn't really like to watch the movie,but then joined me to watch,and when we are inside the theater,he wants some things to do.which i don't like.some guys really are taking advantage of my beauty!

Hi friend Yes I was gone for a couple of days because I got so busy and I wad feeling a little sick so I wasn't able to go online.. I missed myLot! I do hang out with my daughter actually it's always her and my husband whim I go out with., It's also fun abut there really are times that I want to go out by myself only.. You know..window shopping.. I don't usually take my kid to the playground because she doesn't seem to enjoy it there.. Her favorite hang out is the Playland at the riverbaks where she can play for at least 2 hours.. ( But of course it's being paid ) But it's worth it because it makes her really happy.. Right now I'm chatting with a friend from the neighborhood, and we are talking about going out next week.. And I think that would be fun.. Just hope it'll push through.. Yes correct if you get the chance to watch a movie, never sleep inside. Know why? Because movies nowadays is expensive already and if you go there juts to sleep, it's very impractical.. LOL! Haha! Never let a guy take advantage of you my friend..

you got sick,my friend? i think it's really hard to be a full time mom! that's what i am feeling right now,i am not a mom but i am feeling i am like one! and it's hard to take care of a child who is always hyper anytime of the day. you can't go out on yourself for one day? that's too bad,my dear! i think everyone of us still needs to have time for our own selves. you might want to leave your daughter for your parents or siblings for a while and hang out for yourself.you also need that,i think! a while. hmmm...i wonder if your daughter is in her school,don't you have time to go out for a while,then? oh,your daughter don't like playing in the playground? i wonder what's the playland you are talking about...well,my niece is addicted to being in the playground found in the sports center near us. there,she used to slide with other kids around and swing.i even tried the slide and swing myself,haha! it was really fun!i missed being a child again when i am doing that. there's also a rope where you can climb up to the high part. oh,what about the hang out with that friend? did that happened already? well,i do hope you'll get the chance to hang out for a while. i was thinking,what if i would meet you up and let's go hang out together with my niece and your daughter,would you like that? dear,the movie ticket now is too expensive,but what we have last time is no that expensive cause we watched in a "not-so-popular mall where the movie ticket is not that expensive like those of SM malls.haha =D yeah,you are right! i'm happy those guys still respect my decision,and i don't like being molested inside theaters,lol!

nope! i don't sleep on cinemas coz most of the time when i watch a movie on the cinema i make sure that its something i like and interests me. and usually when i am with friends, we rather talk and talk and talk than sleep, or eat and turn the movie house into a picnic place. lol! but my husband, i think he does sleep on movie theater. i remember one time that we watched a movie, he does sleep, but that's during the movie interval and sometimes when he's really tired before we go in. but its not really a waste of money because we will sure be repeating the movie again. so its more of a bonus, sleeping in an air conditioned place. hehe

haha,i find it funny cause there are lots of people doing that,turning the movie house into a picnic place.i can say i have done that when i am with my cousins watching movies.we talk and talk which feels noisy and disturbance to other people watching,also when i am with friends if the movie is too exciting,of course no one will talk,but if it was too boring and too complicated,then talking starts.sometimes teasing also starts specially when the movie is all about life in general,like what i have recently watched,it's either i or him who are teased because of the characters therein. and if there's teasing involved you can't avoid physical contacts,sometimes hurting them physically while teasing them,haha.that was a fun part of being with friends in theaters. i think most guys do sleep in theaters than girls.girls don't have not much of this attitude. like you said,it's a plus cause sleeping in an air conditioned room feels relaxing really. and it's nice to watch the movie twice,to better understand the movie,unless you are in a hurry and you have other things to do than to spend another two hours of movie experience. i think there are cinemas nowadays which don't like people to watch two times,so they let those who watched out first before they are able to let the others in to watch for one time only.

haha =D That's not the first time, i came across it! I have slept in the theaters twice!! haha =D Once was due to the movie being too boring, and if i'm not wrong it's Aviator, i'm watching.. lol =D WHile the first time i fall asleep in the theatre, was due to the movie, Titanic, being too long and draggy!! haha =D Together with the comfortable seating and cold air-conditioning, it's difficult to keep oneself awake in such situations.. haha =D I dun think that's a waste of money as compared to walking out of the movie when it's only half way through right?? hehe

If possible, i wont want to sleep inside theaters, as it's a waste of money!! Each movie ticket does not come cheap, and so it's better not to waste it by sleeping.. hehe IT's not an action film and thus it's boring. It starrs leonado di caprio, and his role in the movie, is the maker of an airplane.. haha =D The story is kinda draggy, slow and long, thus i just doze off while watching it.. hehe As for titantic, i did watched it 3 times in total, but only once in the theatre where i fall asleep.. haha It all depends on the movie.. hehe

so,it was your hobby to sleep inside theaters instead rather than walking away from it? you have a point there,for some reasons there are people who would want to sleep in theaters,i don't mind them if that's they want to do in their life.it's their own choice. i am not familiar with aviator.is that an action film or something? and about Titanic,yes,it was really long movie but really nice to watch. i enjoyed that movie,though i can say there are some scenes which i find boring so it can be a way of feeling bored and sleepy. there are movies which have lots of talks which i find boring,i want the intense wen i watched movies,which makes people excite and making them wanting to see more of the movie,not just more of talks that make s the movie more boring and felt lazy to watch.haha so,you are suggesting to sleep instead of walking away when you have watched the half of the movie?

yes,i can say,it really depends on what movie are you watching.well,if you plan to watch a movie in a theater,pick the one which you really like and you know that you'll enjoy watching,not to waste your money in there to buy movie ticket just to sleep. i really don't have idea what that Aviator is all about. well,i think you don't like much of leonardo di caprio and looks like you felt bored watching him,then why spend a movie ticket? if you really want the movie,and you want to save money,must try to watch it a t home so if ever you felt sleepy,you don't have to waste money on that...

Hi annavi, This reminds me of the time long ago. ....... Back when me and my girlfriend were out for watching a movie Avatar and my other friends didn't know i liked her, LOL. I was hoping my girlfriend would sit beside me! But unfortunately another girl, my friend sat beside me as she thought it would be rude if she sat somewhere else as she thought i was closest to her. I mean we have known each other for years and my girlfriend i had only known her for months after she joined in the college were i am studying. Well, so just to be polite she sat beside me and i was like '' in my head, LOL. I wished my girlfriend sat beside me! And later that day while texting we were complaining about her, because she sat in the middle of us both he he.. Anyways, back to your discussion! No, i would not want to waste my money to sleep in the theaters, i would rather go to some library or something. :D Even if the movie turns out to be boring, we can't do much but try to get out anything out of the money that we paid our movie tickets for.

i go to theaters to watch movie, but there's this movie that made me sleepy, or i don't know, maybe i was just too tired, but i have to admit, that movie was quite long too,,, ^^ my friend woke me up, but sad to say it was already credits, such a waste though, so i borrowed a DVD instead and watched that same movie at home,,, ^^

I agree with merraine. why watch it on theaters, that are now a lot more expensive when you can wait for and buy DVD. and besides, it's a lot more dangerous now to watch it on theaters since crooks are inside of it. but yes, i agree with annavi, that you can just wait it out and watch it at home.

hmmm,you know,there are also movies which are boring than you never expect it to be. just like movies which does lots of talks which makes their audience feel a little bored and not to want to watch anymore. sometimes i do feel like that.i happen to expect more of the movie i am watching but then it doesn't turn out to be what i expected it to be. though i feel that moment,i didn't sleep that time.i just talked on the person i am with. or text while watching...lol!

Well I know many people who do that. They go to the movie so they could sleep. But I don't do that. If I want to sleep I just go to my room and do that thing. I can't sleep well in sitting position. Of course watching something on the screen does make me sleepy this is the reason why I always turn on the TV and watch while on the bed for this is my easy way of getting sleepy.

No, I don't sleep at all when watching movies. Watching movie costs a lot, and sleeping would only means your wasting money. I just watch it while eating. Plus I have this talent of understanding the story even if it has many twists. So I am usually the one who is being asked. So I guess that makes me more attentive.

haha,wow,you have great talent there,my friend! well,there are such movies which i find it hard to understand,but i never sleep in theaters. i still watch and try to understand what the story is all about. it's much more enjoyable and make yourself enjoy even if you really didn't understand the movie. just think of how much you have spent in that movie.

If you ask this question to people living in USA, they will think you are wasting your money because over there, a single show costs like $8 upward, and you can only stay for a single viewing. In other countries, you can do this if they will let you stay inside the theater indefinitely (or until the last full show if you want a longer sleep). Also the price of the ticket should not be that expensive else you are better off renting a motel room.

yeah,it's much better to check in a hotel room if you want comfortable sleep. oh,that movie ticket is too expensive. here in the philippines i can say we have movie tickets at $4 i guess. too much expensive i can say,specially when you are poor person.it's much better to rent or buy your own copy so you can watch whenever you want with the comfort of your own home,this way you don't have to bother when to sleep or not.lol!

ha, this may because the movie can not attract you at all ,maybe the story ,maybe the actor/actress ,who knows but if i go to the theater , even the movie is boring ,i will keep watching it till it is over, because i just bought a ticket ,we can not waste money , honestly ,i only see the movies directed by famous director or famous stars ,for others ,i won't go to the theater. and if i were under your condition ,i would rather look for some snacks to eat ,or just hang around in shops

Do you believe when I say that a few go to the theater only to sleep. They say that though there are outside disturbances there is no one to disturb their sleep because every one is interested in seeing the movie.Are they not correct?When you to a hotel and pay for your stay for night are you not spending money to sleep. Similarly they spend money and buy a ticket to a movie and sleep in a theater. What is wrong and where is the difference.You go to theater to relax and why not sleep and relax.

of course,when you watch a movie,make sure you are willing to to pay and the movie is really worth the money to spend on.not just sleep on them.haha yeah,inside movie theaters people used to laugh together cry together and weep together. but there are also annoying people who have watched thevie and tend to make noise and tell the while story instead,it's like saying,"don't watch,just listen to my story telling!" too bad!

I have not been to the movie houses in years. But when i watch a movie, i make sure that i got my money's worth and certainly i'm not going to sleep through it. There were times that i have to watch a movie three times to make sure that i understand all the scenes. There was a time that me and my girl friend (my wife now) watched the movie titanic and i have not been able to watch and concentrate through the entire movie because i'm busy kissing her , well, i may not have been able to absorb the entire movie but it was well worth it.

hello there! well,it really depends on what type of movies are we watching.if it was not really our type,there are really moments of sleepiness,but if we know it was really the movie we are wanting to watch,for sure our sleepiness would go away because it was covered with excitement. i also am never fond of action movies, don't watch it in big screen though if there was a movie playing in tv channels,i don't care if it's action type,as long as i know how they work out,i would definitely watch it.depends also on who are those lead stars in the said movie. i remember one time i had a date with a guy who treats me to watch a movie,but he never liked my choice.it was too bad i have to watch a movie i am really not interested in.i can say,i am feeling sleepy and bored cause he didn't even talked to me inside there.it's like i don't even exist.what kind of date is that? you are not man enough for me cause firstly,you don't respect what i wanted to watch.and secondly,you didn't even talked to me inside the theaters.if i can remember correctly,i have been feeling sleepy that time,and though i wanted to sleep but i stil keep myself awake just for him. well,i can say,he is not worth it,and luckily,we didn't last long.i don't like guys who don't know how to respect women.

being dozed off in a theater would mean you are really tired and bored to what you are watching.but then,it's nice that you also have to pick what movie you really want to watch,not just spend how much just to sleep inside there.such a waste of time to be inside there when you can sleep soundly at the comfort of your own home. happy mylotting!
