For my FIRST viewing, should I see ASIB alone or with family/friends?

[MEM 3,114]

I’ve been thinking about this ever since the movie was announced. Now that I’ve read a bunch of reviews, I’m even more confused. Are you planning to see it solo or with people?

Here’s the thing: I love going to the movies with others, especially when you have a great discussion afterwards and ESPECIALLY when you all agree on certain things. BUT I have gone to movies alone and have really enjoyed that too. I find that I concentrate more, really absorb everything, and I’m free to laugh or cry or anything without feeling judged. I often go alone when I stan a particular actor because I don’t know anyone IRL as invested as I am and it’s the worst when they don’t enjoy their performance and I have to defend whoever I stan. At the moment I don’t have LMs near me...I know we can disagree on stuff too but it’s still more comfortable. 

So with ASIB, Gaga & Bradley, I’m 100% invested. I know I will fangirl like crazy and I just don’t know if I’ll have a better time if I’m by myself? I know *technically* I’m not alone, there will be LMs in the audience watching with me. But I’m just deciding what’s the best move for my FIRST viewing. After that I will know what it’s like and invite the right people when I see it again and again. What are you planning to do? If you’ve already seen it, what do you recommend?

PS My Mom wants to see it with me (mostly because I make such a fuss about it) but she’s a bit conservative; I know there’s a LOT of coarse language & sex scenes - is it tolerable/not too gratuitous enough to bring her with me or is it worth me checking it out before she does? I do feel awkward even though I am 24 and an adult lol.

Ahh, decisions! I NEED THE MOVIE YESTERDAY

Both tbh.

But if you go with family or friends, try not to externalize your anger if they're not pleased with Gaga. If they are conservative it'll be hard for them to accept that someone so famous and kind and accepting as Gaga is doing great things for the betterment of people. It'll just make them bite back negatively towards you and push Gaga away even further. At least usually they do that. If they love it they love it and if they don't.... Then pray for them. Don't let anything or anyone interrupt your enjoyment or happiness. It's better to just ignore those aspects of their personalities, even if you know those people. It'll take a miracle to change their views.

Either way....Bless their heart.

Alone tbh. But if you want to help Gaga for the opening week numbers, take the whole neighborhood.

[River 117,180]

With friends who are fans

[Linus Gaga 8,214]

I will probably watch it 10 times at least

[JazzGa 14,621]

Im gonna c it alone cuz i know im gonna BAWL my EYEZ OUT like a LIL BABY BISH  And I dont wanna subject any of the normal ass ppl in my life to that

[ModernEcstasy 9,039]

I’m taking certain family members just so I can sit there and wait for a bunch of apologies at the end of the movie. 

The question is, do I forgive them for being wrong about Gaga or should I let them suffer? Muhahaha

I think you should tell your mom if she's comfortable with such scenes. If she is, you should go with her and enjoy the movie together. You should also do what really want to, if you feel like going to the movies alone do it.

[C1trus 4,341]

You better watch the movie with musically-inclined introverts so no one will f****ng dosturb you and let them cry for themselves

Yep this is me...I’m definitely leaning towards going alone

Hmm yeah maybe. I think she will enjoy it. I just feel like I’d rather take her when I’ve seen it already so I know what scenes are coming up and I’m prepared...?

[Luv u Sum 2,391]

I'm going with my ffriends first then my family 

[Panchecco 17,634]

I'm planning on seeing it 3 times at least

the first one (hopefully the day it comes out) with my friends, then with my sister and if they're playing it at my local cinema I'll also go there wth my mom

[A Hybrid 11,049]

With other pop fans (one of them is a Swiftie and the other one’s an Ed Sheeran fan but they both like the real queen) I never go to the movies alone

[Quartz 12,535]

I'll be with my bestfriend and maybe a few of my cousins. Why? If I react and want to hit somebody beside me because I'm so smitten, I can 

And that's additional coins for Gagz 

But be with APPROPRIATE company. Ones who won't talk when tearjerker scenes are being played.

And of course there's the added benefit of debriefing afterwards. It just will give you needed closure for the night.
