Drinker & Smokers: do you like movies less when sober?

I've come to the conclusion that i'm a douche when it comes to films. I've seen so many of them that I can really pick them apart while watching and it takes alot for me to really enjoy a film. However, when I drink or smoke, I feel like I can watch movies in the same way that normal people do. If something blows up a smile crosses my face. If theres a hot actress on screen, I can enjoy it and not make some jack ass comment about how she can't act and this is how they justify her being in the film. It's like my standards drop and it really takes a movie being downright awful for me to not enjoy it in this mindstate.

Now, I prefer to see movies like this. I see movies with friends alot and their taste are totally normal. I usually walk out of the theater feeling like I wasted my money if I see a movie sober but if i'm not I can be like, "ehh, I mean... there were some explosions, a couple of fist fights, I can't complain. It did what it did."

Is anyone else like this?

I would say so. I brought a beer into the theaters to watch Transformers 2 this last weekend and it made the movie tolerable. :lol:

I can watch movies better when im sober but I enjoy the movie either way if its good :P

No. I like to watch movies way more when I'm sober. Can focus/remember details better.

good movies are good movies whether im under the influence of something or not, but certain hilariously bad movies can be made a lot more entertaining.

No I can appreciate film without drinking.

I have never watched a movie while drunk. When I watch movie while high I become sober. So I prefer to watch movies when sober.

i dont like watching movies intoxicated because i cant focus and follow the move at all and get side tracked really easily and i get bored. on the other hand, when im sober, i enjoy movies, i am not a cynic looking for faults to talk about on internet forums and with my cynic friends. JPOBS

well first off I dont smoke but I do drink and I generally dont watch movies when I am drunk because I cant (or dont) concentrate on them. I am usually doing something more active when I drink.

There's a major difference between enjoying something less and totally not being able to enjoy something at all.Senor_Kami

Radical!!! You ftw.

To me, it's like playing games alone or playing games with a friend. I can have fun playing by myself but it's always more fun if I play with friends. But different strokes for different folks.
