Rant: my buddy's 3 a.m. rant about The Room made me hate movie night

Me and this guy Skip from the warehouse were talking pickups and he mentioned he watched The Room alone, no beer, no crowd. He said the worst part wasn't Tommy Wiseau's acting, it was sitting there with nobody to laugh at the spoon pictures or the "you're tearing me apart" scene. That hit me because we always do Bad Movie Night with 6 to 8 people at my place in Tacoma, and I realized the movies aren't the fun part, the group is. Has anyone else tried watching one of these classics solo and found it just falls flat, or do some of you actually prefer the quiet viewing?

Man, my buddy tried watching Troll 2 solo and fell asleep before the popcorn scene even hit, and @mila_mitchell nailed it about the quiet sucking.

Ugh, yeah, I totally feel this! I tried watching Birdemic by myself once after a movie night got cancelled and it was so weirdly quiet, like the bad acting just sat there instead of bouncing off everyone's jokes. The group energy is honestly the whole point for me now, I'd rather watch a good movie with two people than a bad one alone.
