Going to the movies

azziria*sigh* Want - no, intend - to go to the cinema to see Once Upon A Time In Mexico this weekend. I'm really looking forward to seeing it, and I know I'm going to love it. (Johnny Depp. Banderas as El Mariachi. And I loved Desperado. It's a foregone conclusion.)
But here's the catch. DH wants to go with me. Now, normally I'd be delighted at the prospect of us going out together. However, I know he won't like this movie. It's just not his sort of thing at all. So he'll be all "Well, I don't see what all the fuss was about" about it, and that will spoil it for me.
So. How do I persuade him not to come with me without it sounding like I don't want his company? (Which I don't, of course, but just not for this film...) Complicated.
