My spouse does this too. I’m down to MST3K roast a show or movie if it’s bad or I’ve seen it before, but we have an agreement if I care and want to be immersed I’ll let them know…
…and then if it turns out the movie’s bad I’m down to roast it.
Sometimes I’m enjoying a movie and I can tell they want to talk, and it drives them insane, but they respect the agreement.
Oh I’m positive. The flipside is I watch a lot of reality TV with them as they enjoy our riffing it together; I do not care one iota for most reality TV, including what they make me watch, but I do it for them, and there’s always time later to turn it back to my tastes. It’s a balancing act.
But also I still keep track of external factors if it’s not enough. I returned two shopping carts to the corral and held the door open at Red Robin for some sort of school visit and by my calculations those were enough points to get me a Heat rewatch with them.
i talk while watching movies/tv shows. i genuinely do not find it enjoyable to just watch stuff.
subtitles make this a lot easier imo
as in preventing me from yapping or as in multitasking yapping and watching?
multitasking :3
I can’t watch movies with anyone else because I enjoy my 85-95% accuracy saying what is going to happen next.
❤️😍❤️
I love it when they look at you annoyed because they know you’ve just nailed it.
You don’t do it at the theater, right?
We pick seats far from everyone else for a reason
no, i will only bother people i know with that.

are you sure that won’t cost you some points? don’t want to end up in the bad place.
